docs(proof-of-contribution): bootstrap document #954

moul · 2023-07-06T19:29:34Z

This initial documentation serves as a centralized resource for proof-of-contribution, allowing for easy updates through small PRs.

The primary objective is to provide high-level concepts and directions while maintaining implementation flexibility.

Everything looks great to me, just confirming the terminology and what worxDAO represents. If we are thinking of naming Contributor DAO worxDAO now, I'll make sure all of my docs reflect that if it's decided on.

 ### `r/system/valset`

-A realm (smart contract) that enables the `worxDAO` to update the validator set. Similar to a PoA system, the authority is decentralized in a DAO.
+A realm (smart contract) that enables the `worxDAO` to update the validator set.


Is worxDAO what we are now thinking of naming the main DAO instead of Contributor DAO? Just making sure, since last meeting we decided to scrap any form of GNOT holder "Token House" in favor of rolling all responsibilities into Contributor DAO.

Yes, worxDAO derives its name from its reliance on worx as the metric for measuring contributions, but please note that changes may occur in the future.

Edit: hey @MichaelFrazzy, I made minor changes, I suggest you to re-review again, please.

Can we use images for graphs? It does not render properly on all screen sizes:

I think it looks super cool 😎

Yes, we can if they can be generated from something (graphviz?).

Yes! I usually use Graphviz DOT language to generate the image and keep that code as an HTML comment to make it easier to modify for the next one: https://edotor.net/

Just in case they might be useful, here you have my notes about PoC:

Proof of contribution is a consensus mechanism that tries to remove financial incentives and it is focused on expertise and values.

Proof Of Contribution

It is still a WIP, but a good contribution will be defined by:

quality, collaboration ≥ final merge status -> rewarding useful failures
template or free-form; on-chain, on GitHub, or other platforms; tech-related, or not
predefined tasks or unsolicited, complete or part of a solution
-> judged by the [[Evaluation DAO]]

Why PoC?

mitigates corrupting influence of tokens on projects
minimizes risks of Sybil attacks, takeovers, and alliances
enables decentralized voting with individual votes and dynamic voting power based on tiered levels
emphasizes project principles and values over monetary gains
promotes independence and decentralization through multiple voting methods
empower other chains

I like that the document is concise and to the point 💯

I've left some minor comments, otherwise it looks good

Side question:
What tool did you use (if any) for the ASCII graphics (specifically the diagram)?

Edit by @moul: I currently use Monodraw (on macOS), but I wish I could find an equally excellent tool that works on the web or across multiple platforms.

+- Governance and distribution managed through smart contracts.
+- Chain monitors contract changes (e.g., `valset`) to configure `Tendermint2`.
+- No staking involved in consensus.
+- Chain fees distributed to contributors and validators, not stakers.


Just a side question, how would chain fees be distributed to contributors?
I understand that block creators (validators) will get the block creation reward. Would this be a protocol-level distribution per-block?

I see in the graphic below that these block rewards are meant to be pooled into a bucket, that will get distributed out to validators and contributors. Is this the general idea?

same question and this is something in my mind too. fees will be collected first into fee pool, and distributed to validators and contributors according to a certain ratio, which is determined by contract side, maybe in the Gor module.

Yes, that's the idea, a pool with fees, then a distribution mechanism.

We also need to rethink slashing since it will probably not be fully automatic.

In PoC, validators are not involved in a marketing race like PoS systems. Their compensation may be a fixed ratio or monthly "salary," aiming to incentivize them as reliable infrastructure maintainers.

+### Evaluation DAO

+The system employed by the `worxDAO` to incentivize contributions with `^worx` tokens.


Do we have any more information on these $worx tokens?

Also, is this a typo (^worx)?

^worx -> Not a typo; it's not a token, and it's not transferable. It's a score that can only increase. However, in discussions, we may still use the term "token", maybe we can succeed by always using the term "score"?

I suggest you looking this presentation: https://gnolang.github.io/workshops/presentations/2023-06-06--buidl-asia--manfred/presentations.slide.html#6

It’s “Proof-of-Contribution” correct? I personally think that sounds better than “Proof-of-Contributions” plural, since Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Stake, Proof-of-Transfer etc aren’t plural either. Not a big deal either or, just came to mind edit @moul: I wasn't sure, thank you for confirming the strategy. fixed.
