Social EGP 31 - Community Leadership Incentivization H2 2025

Abstract

This proposed EGP describes the bi-annual budget of the Everclear Community Leaders for H2 of 2025. The Community Leaders of the Everclear ecosystem are tasked with providing necessary functions to the Everclear ecosystem within the areas of community, support, and social media marketing in an effort to help deliver outstanding customer experiences, and strategically grow the protocol.

Motivation

The Everclear Community Leader Sub-DAO is a decentralized, community-governed entity that was approved via voting on Snapshot by the Everclear DAO in February 2024. Along with the governance vote, the responsibility for compensating community contributors and funding community initiatives was shifted into the hands of the Everclear Community Leader Sub-DAO as a decentralized, community-governed entity in the ecosystem.

Rationale

Community Leaders are Core Contributors to the Everclear ecosystem as per the DAO Docs and focus on areas such as user support, marketing, growth, education, and community management. This EGP provides Community Leaders with the funds necessary to continue supporting the Everclear ecosystem.

Key Terms

For an overview of the key terminology of this proposal and the mission of the Community Leaders Sub-DAO, please have a look at the original Community Leader Incentivization proposal.

Areas of Focus

The Community Leaders are in close touch with the Everclear Foundation to coordinate suitable activities and support areas:

• Everclear Intern Account on X: Grow @EverclearIntern account into key memetic and educational channel for the Everclear ecosystem (by producing posts, meme content, quote-tweet commentary, and commenting on related discussions). This account plays a vital role in community growth, user retention, and protocol mindshare. We are seeking to accomplish the following targets over the next 6 months:
  • New followers: 150
  • Impressions: 90k
  • Engagements: 5.5k
  • Likes: 1800
• Moderation: Active community support on TG/Discord to ensure these channels remain well-moderated spaces where members can get fast answers.
  • Have no security breaches or scammed members in our public channels.
  • Ensure automatic filtering of bots/scams is working correctly. There’s no direct or easily obtainable measure for this, but we’ll subjectively evaluate it based on proxy indicators.
• Intercom Support: Professional user support via Intercom.
  • Provide technical support (in less than 24 working hours) to Everclear’s customers via the ticketing system.
• Defillama Adapter: In response to growing community demand, the Community Admins created a volume tracking adapter to integrate Everclear into the Defillama Bridges Dashboard. To ensure accurate metric calculations and faster development with direct access to the source, the Community Leadership worked closely with the Everclear Labs team. Considering the positive impact of this implementation and the Foundation’s satisfaction with the outcome, the Community Leadership is requesting a one-time compensation to cover the costs of research and the time invested in building it.

Bi-annual Calculation

Calculations assume an average token price of $0.029390 (30 day VWAP on August 27th 2025).
The ask is that the Everclear DAO covers the funding below:

Item	Funding [CLEAR]	Description
Base Compensation	707,733	Bi-annual base compensation for Admins, Mods, and Content Creators
Community Treasury	18,931	Incentivized payment purse for educational content and its distribution, projects, events, subscriptions, etc.
Buffer	290,666	Buffer for adjustments based on price fluctuations.
Defillama Adapter	17,013	Implementation of Everclear's Defillama daily volume dashboard
Remaining	-1,061,697	Remaining balance from previous proposal
Difference	-27,355	For 2nd semester of 2025

Fixed compensation will be revisited every month and adjusted as necessary.
Additionally, the Buffer and Community Treasury funds may be used to cover Community Leadership operational expenses (such as software licenses).

Methodology

On the first day of each month, we will calculate the tokens to be distributed, using the average closing price of the token from the previous 7 days, as listed on Coingecko.

Total Ask

This proposal requests permission to use the budgeted tokens outlined in the table above during the second half of 2025. No additional tokens from the DAO Treasury are required to implement this proposal. We expect to publish the next proposal by February 2026.
