Hi, this is blockpunk, the founder of ICP League (twitter & icpl.app), and in response to the community’s call for NNS decentralization, we decided to apply to become NamedNeuron.
Why we want to become a named neuron?
The NNS system has the highest authority in Internet Computer network, it is authorised to make decisions in all important tasks within this network, includes Economics, nodes or subnodes incasement, roadmaps and so on. Thus, the decentralisation of NNS is also the decentralisation of IC network.
It is safe to say that the current IC network does not demonstrate decentralisation, the named Neurons, in other words, public and traceable neurons, are not enough. Certain group of neurons hold a significant proportion of voting power, in which limits the governance. The named neuron of ICP League will accelerate the process of decentralisation.
Meanwhile, there are significant number of early neurons did not participate in governance, many of them require command lines to vote, in which led them less bounded with the total development of IC network. ICP League is promised to develop user-friendlier tools to help them to involve, enhance their enthusiasm by the community force.
What will we do for IC and NNS?
-
We have been loyal preachers of ICP for long time. We are going to continually promote the ideas and characteristics of IC network. We will bring more potential users and developers.
-
We have a superior team of researchers and engineers. They have helped us to make research articles and ecosystem reports. We have helped the community to understand the circumstances of the Network and NNS and we will keep doing so.
-
We have made a more user-friendlier front page for NNS and making the mobile platform that is launching very soon. We want to make sure users can participate in governance in a more convenient way.
-
We are going to develop more tools for NNS, help more communities or individuls to take governance leaders roles.
Our principles
ICP League will apply self-voting out of 99% time, rather than following an existing named neuron. Our researchers and engineers will analyse every single governance proposal, and broadcast its core to community. Our voting principles are state below:
-
We are determined of against junk proposals, but we will explore more reasonable governance mechanism.
-
We would stand with non-official communities, and we will make our decision based on this proportion: 60% weight on developers, while 40% on communities and invertsors.
-
We will unite more early investors of DFINITY, especially those who are in Chinese communities.
-
We are tied up with the interests of IC network in long term, therefore we will against short-sighted, poisoned simulations or Ponzi.
-
We are going to accelerate the decentralisation of IC network, for instance, we will support other applications on naming neurons.
-
We endorse the design of permissionless, and we against any other limitation or discrimination towards application layer.
-
We prefer to approve proposals from DApps that requires NNS voting, so that they can save cost.
-
We are crypto natives, we are going to be more active on the process of cryptography, composability, safety etc.
Who are we?
ICP League is a non-profit community and incubator. We support developers of IC to make products and services, to build more user friendlier infrastructures, and spread the spirits of Web3.
ICP League founded the first DFINITY & ICP community back in February, 2017. We have grow enormously in 2019 till 2021. We have hosted many online and real-time events. Meanwhile, we have successfully supported many entrepreneurs to establish their services on IC.
