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.
