Reward System

Manifesto 
Weekly meeting: Wednesday 8 PM CET / 2 PM EST
You can find us on Discord Channel: Reward System discord chat 1.
Doc owner/OWG Community Stewards: Kristofer + Livia
Discord handles: kristofer#1475 + liviade#1387
Note: The Working Group Manifesto is a live document, as the working group evolves (e.g. people join the working group) this document should be updated to reflect these changes. This is important so that there is an updated single source of truth for onboarding new working group members.
Mission
The intention of this Working Group is to design, implement, maintain and continuously improve the TEC reward system.
The models from this Miro board are being developed into a dashboard.
The dashboard will:
Host quantifiers
Randomly pair them with praise sets
Quantifications will be performed there
Quantified sets will be analysed after every quantification round.
The TEC Reward System 1 is composed of Praise and SourceCred.
Praise takes care of the qualitative and subjective contributions. See Rules of Praise and Quantification 1​
SourceCred captures more objective contributions and is linked to Discourse, Github, Twitter and Discord only for meeting attendance.
The configuration and maintenance of these two systems requires a team to be involved in it.
We currently have the technical team working on the development of the dashboard, identity solution and analysis development and the Reward Board which will focus on operations and be responsible for:
Submitting proposals to the DAO to cover the rewards distribution.
Sending the wxDAI received from the proposal to the bonding curve to get TEC tokens; send TEC tokens to the Reward DAO.
Set up SourceCred parameters and describe them to the community
Recruit quantifiers and add them to the dashboard
Onboard quantifiers
Distribute funds to contributors via Reward DAO.
Pay close attention to analysis reports and propose changes to the reward system when needed.
Evaluate the metrics being used in the analysis and how well they are measuring the system’s health.
How will this working group benefit the TEC community according to its mission
A comprehensive reward system provides insights on the values being produced in the community. This information is essential for the maintenance of the TEC’s long term mission alignment and economic sustainability.
The TEC is a pro-social community, it is fundamental that contributors feel rewarded and have degrees of their needs being met. Reward systems are also at the core of token engineering and the experiments from this process are relevant for this field and discipline.
What would be considered a success vs. failure?
Success:
The dashboard works as expected
We have engaged quantifiers
SourceCred and Praise integrate well
Analysis are automated
The community feels fairly rewarded
The metrics for analysis provide good feedback about the ecosystem health
The reward board is active and attentive to what needs improvement
Quantifications and distributions happen at a regular pace
Failure:
The system is gamed.
Quantifiers don’t show up
The TEC refuses to send funds to the rewards proposals
The Reward System cannot deliver Quants punctually
The Reward Board cannot review and distribute rewards punctually
Please break down the goals into a roadmap with clear milestones
​The full process is detailed in this blog post 1​
What is the deadline?
The deadline for the dashboard is paired with the Commons Upgrade
The Rewards WG can initiate a first rewards quantification before Christmas
Most of the Reward Board’s work is continuous
Working Style
Working Group members take responsibility for different issues that are available on Github and part of our sprint planning process.
