Decentralized Governance Incentive Framework Proposal

[Jerry]

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:

1. Adding them to the core-contributor group
2. Allocating tokens for their past contributions

Both will receive 0.5% of veCTM rewards as compensation for their achievements.

New Core Contributor Initiation & Existing Contributor Exit Rules

1. New Core Contributor Initiation
   • 0.05%–1% veCTM allocation based on role and impact.
   • Eligibility: 6 months of consistent contributions.
   • Process: Documentation submission, community forum pitch, and DAO vote.
2. Existing Contributor Exit Rules
   • Departing Core Contributors forfeit tiered rewards and receive 0.01%–0.1% veCTM based on historical performance.

This is the way!

0.05%–1% veCTM allocation > is this of the total floating veCTM? And for the core contributors together of per contributor?

[Selqui]

@sanderrrrr Per contributor. We should make this clear

Received each 500k veCTM? If this is the case it’s too much in my opinion. I also think the veCTM Distribution Tiers are quite too high. I remember the value for 1 CTM equal to 1 USD. Contributors were offered half payments in CTM that was theoretical 1:1 to USD. With 50% added penalty for veCTM to CTM you’re giving the new contributors $250k value in rewards.
