[OC-Investment] December Contest

Summary

This Snapshot vote seeks approval to allocate $300,000 from gTrade’s overcollateralization layers (OC) to fund a December trading competition running for ~3 weeks and ending before year-end.

Following the Trick or Trade competition (Oct 22-Nov19) and a community temperature check, sentiment strongly favored another contest in December while preferences on structure were mixed.

To reflect this, the vote presents multiple contest format options, allowing GNS holders to directly choose the structure they prefer.

If approved, preparations will start immediately so the contest can begin in early December.

Voting options

Please choose one of the following:

1. $300k — Hybrid (PnL + time-weighted volume)
2. $300k — Time-weighted volume only
3. $300k — PnL-only
4. No contest

Voting logic

• “No contest” only wins if it receives >50% of total votes.
• Otherwise, whichever of the three contest formats receives the highest share of votes will be implemented.
