I agree with @enti entirely, well done response. To add to this, see my comments below.

And then, 165,000 tokens at the current market price is ~36K. At 65,000 for this, we’re paying almost double for the development of the feature?

This 165 000 token is for 6 months. But I agree, this seems like a bad cost benefit factor.

@enti

I’m frankly disappointed.

Me too, in more than one way.

@enti

If Tally wants this developed as part of their governance offerings, they should develop this themselves and at much offer Obol and other DAOs a more reasonable and productivized package, instead of asking us to cover for it as if it was a request and tailor-made solution.

I’d suggest an open call for a grant specifically for this. I outlined this already in my analysis on OIP3:

@stefa2k

Grants should be geared toward a goal; they shouldn’t be a goal itself.

@enti

If there’s demand from the collective to study and evaluate delegate compensation, we at Vista would be more than happy to come up with an extensive analysis and recommendations on governance updates based on historical data and needs, and welcome the participation from others.

This is how it should be done.

Other thoughts:

• Adding additional token to be unlocked will increase the selling pressure. Right now, the token price is not able to bear with additional inflation.
• We have a good amount of well-behaved delegates in here and I’d rather have us work without compensation for some time until we can actually reflect on how things should be rewarded (and having data on how things go) than having a system in place that I’m not happy with.
• There is nothing in this proposal to prevent farming. Big players will be rewarded more even if they just play the system with minimal efforts.
