Our first serious attempt at connecting cost & revenue centers is live!
Let's assume that your dapp depends on 'ethereum' for it to work.
Now how do you allocate some funding to it similar to how you give money to other departments in your product?
Here's what we did;
1. Created a cluster of 45 repos that are core to the ethereum base layer (chosen from those listed in protocol or dev tooling guild & argot collective).
2. Started a competition on @JoinPond where you can submit models giving weights across the repos such that they sum to 1.
3. Recruited jurors to provide comparisons between the 45 repos, on the basis of which winning models get their weights assigned across the graph.
This will enable dapps to allocate money to 'ethereum' and have it auto redirected to these 45 repos.
Link to the competition in the next post.
when people ask what problem I'm trying to solve, I say finding ways to better connect cost and revenue centers in decentralized movements
Entities such as Google can take money from revenue centers like their ad department and channel it to cost centers (AI research or their alt L1), for boosting their overall competitiveness
Now imagine if their AI research people had to instead apply for a grant from the ad department 🤣
that's exactly the situation we are in though, with cost centers like @soliditylang or @vyperlang supported by revenue centers like @aave or @CurveFinance via grants from their team
Only if we can better integrate revenue and cost centers (@deep_funding is one approach, others could come by) does the decentralized world have a chance of outcompeting the trad world
