Might be worth adding some form of ‘contingency plan’ or buffer to the template as a separate heading in case of a bear market like the one we are facing now.

Would a team be able to function if we face a bear market and their budget has to be decreased by 10-20%? it’s quite similar to the GTC amendment here because by my calculation you will be receiving a lower salary by around 10% if this proposal goes through, from $10k to $9.1k but you can continue to work

thanks for your thoughts man. not sure adding thin here is a the right place? maybe having a policy at the DAO level regarding rewards and how they are calculated on a season basis. this is going to be an on-going challenge as we try to refine how rewards works for sure.

believe it’s important we open up a bigger conversation in the DAO with regards to a) how rewards are currently working re [DRAFT 2] Rewarding Contributions in $CODE with $CODE rewards vs revenue/grants vs (at least currently) FT staff receiving an more “real” income now from the treasury.

Plan to raise this on the rewarding contributions in $CODE post either today or over the weekend :slight_smile:
