<![CDATA[Decentralized Governance Incentive Framework Proposal]]>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, Lex 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.

We will have a vote at TGE to decide how much of the CTMDAOVOTE tokens convert to veCTM and therefore how much ex core contributors will receive, but in this proposal, it is suggested that it will only be a small amount, capped at 0.1% (100k veCTM).

If they were promised already they should receive for their work. There is only 3% left for future contributors. If we gonna use up to 2% until TGE then there isn’t much left for future contributors. If we can use “some” of the allocation from the departed core contributors then we don’t have to use the 3% what’s left.

Well I didn’t know Arkman was working over a year now and only received so less. But there is only 3% left from the 15% for Core contributors? Is that correct? I still think these numbers are on the big side and risky incase these contributors want exit. After Losing 50% with penalty they still got a big size to dump. I rather have them vested started at day1 TGE. Like giving them 50k veCTM per month instead of 500k in one go.

He may incorporate a newer version of the staking into this new Governance frontend

Or are hal0177 and arkman the same person?

Hopefully the value will increase to 1 USD and more after TGE, but those helping to build our products now deserve the same terms (in my opinion).

Arkman has worked for more than 1 year on the frontend for AssetX, as well as the homepage for ContinuumDAO, the C3Caller page, the MPC Dashboard and the veCTM Staking page. So far he has only been paid less than 5k USD in total. He believes in the project and I will certainly vote in favour of awarding him 500k veCTM now and another 500k veCTM at TGE, assuming that he continues working as he has been (I am sure he will). Regarding Lex, our new legal web3 expert - we cannot successfully launch our RWA Security issuance platform without his experience. Securities are heavily regulated and our existing DAO core contributors have no experience in legal matters. He is also advising us on incorporation and he came to us with his excellent idea for Lawracle that will benefit us all. I will certainly be voting to give him 500k veCTM now and another 500k veCTM when we go to mainnet with Lawracle. Let's keep the big picture in mind. We need Arkman and Lex in our DAO.

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.

And for the core contributors together of per contributor?
