OIP #4 Delegate Compensation and Delegate Reputation Score Integration (stOBOL)

Here’s why I believe it should be rejected at this stage:

  1. Overpriced smart contract development – $35,000
    The task is straightforward: fetch the delegate rating from the oracle and apply a simple formula. This should take no more than a week. No developer earns $35k for one week of work
  2. Inflated audit cost – $20,000
    For such limited functionality, a few days are sufficient to write tests, verify logic, and produce a report
  3. Frontend cost – $10,000 for a single page
    A basic delegate display page, already implemented in many DAOs, doesn’t justify this price
  4. Operational costs for scoring providers are not considered
    For comparison, Karma charges $7,250/month to provide and maintain a similar dashboard in another DAO
  5. The monthly cost far exceeds the benefit
    The proposal allocates 27,500 OBOL ($4,250) per month to delegates, meaning top delegates would earn only $100–$200/month — unlikely to have any meaningful impact on participation
