Addendum: SLURP-40 | Establishing BUILD Reward Distribution for stake.link

Proposed Addendum to SLURP-40 Eligibility Criteria: Stake Calculation Method

Context: To finalize the BUILD reward distribution outlined in SLURP-40 and ensure a timely go-live, a decision is required on the method used to determine the eligible stake amount for participants.

Proposal: The DAO must decide between two methods for calculating the stake amount used for determining eligibility and/or distribution weights:

Option 1: Time-Weighted Average Stake Calculate the average stake held by participants over a defined period. Snapshot/Cutoff Date: Use data up to March 31st, 2025, to calculate this time-weighted average. Option 2: Status Quo Stake Snapshot Use the amount of stake held by participants at a specific point in time. Snapshot Date: Use the stake data as of May 5th, 2025 (coinciding with the date of the related Chainlink blog post). Rationale for Urgent Decision: A swift resolution on the stake calculation method is crucial for the stake.link team and DAO to proceed with the technical implementation and distribution process without delay.

Call to Action: We urge the stake.link community and DAO members to discuss, so the Council can vote on these two options promptly (within 36hrs) to establish the definitive stake calculation method for the SLURP-40 BUILD reward distribution.
