Goal
Token Allocation: Distribute CTMDAOVOTE tokens to contributors excluding Full-time Contributors who received allocations in August 2023.
Rationale
- Alignment: Balances recognition of past contributions with incentives for ongoing engagement.
- Governance Clarity: Formalizes contributor tiers and exit protocols to ensure fairness.
Background
Since the discontinuation of USDT salaries in September 2024, multiple contributors have sustained efforts toward ContinuumDAO’s mission, driven by conviction in the project’s long-term success. This proposal aims to:
- Recognize their contributions.
- Incentivize progress toward mainnet launch and TGE.
- Establish a performance-based reward system distinct from monthly payments.
veCTM Distribution Tiers
| Tier | Criteria | veCTM Allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1: Core Contributors | Lead major DAO initiatives (e.g., guild operations, governance optimization). Must demonstrate measurable impact. | 0.05%–1% of total veCTM supply |
| Tier 2: Active Contributors | Regular contributions (~20 hrs/week), active meeting participation, and cross-guild coordination. | 50,000–100,000 veCTM |
| Tier 3: General Contributors | Deliver ≥2 production-ready outcomes integrated into DAO products/services. | 5,000–20,000 veCTM |
Special Recognition
The ongoing contributors to the project, Eli and Arkman, are formally recognized by the DAO contributors and members. This proposal includes:
- Adding them to the core-contributor group
- Allocating tokens for their past contributions
Both will receive 0.5% of veCTM rewards as compensation for their achievements.
