Background
- The NNS applies a reward weight of 20 for Governance proposals to incentive participation.
- Currently all other topics have a lower reward weight: The Exchange rate topic has a weight of 0.01 and all other topics have a reward weight of 1.
Proposed change
- It is suggested that the NNS also applies a reward weight of 20 for the topic “SNS & Community Fund”, aligning the incentives for participation on this topic with that of the topic “Governance”.
- This is because “SNS & Community Fund” and “Governance” seem to be similar topics in nature, given that these topics focus on discussion & review in the forum.
- This change would foster active engagement of the community on SNS proposals, which is of high importance for the NNS. Voters could engage in assessments like the degree to which a SNS would be decentralized or the suggested contribution of the NNS community fund.
Next steps
- The implementation effort for this change would be low (essentially adjusting one line of code & updating test cases).
- Given that there are several projects planning to launch an SNS soon, it is suggested to implement this change still in Q2’23.
