Specification

$8350 USD into the Lexicon Devils Juicebox every two weeks. Posted below is text and a graphic showing this funding breakdown:

15.8% ($1319) - Germs - Vox Model / Treasury

15.8% ($1319) - Wacko - Vox Architect / Visionary

8.9% ($745) - Lexicon Devils Treasury (reserve for production costs, Forming fund, etc.)

20% ($1670) - deposited into the Forming Juicebox for artist payout.

Rationale

Having a dedicated fund going towards the arts and sponsoring cultural events strengthens the ties between artists & engineers, deepening the creative talent pool of not only the Juicebox ecosystem but Ethereum at large. Juicebox is a prime example of a DAO who sets the cultural tone, and is in touch with the current zeitgeist of crypto & DAOs. It’s a natural next step for the Lexicon Devils & Juicebox partnership to continue leading the scene in making creative spaces online for artists & engineers, a cultural schilling point for a new era of the internet.

Risks

Lexicon Devils and FORMING audience fail to understand or adopt JBX. Bear market fud too dominant and crypto skepticism too great; creating an uphill battle that makes expanding our outreach almost impossible. This would result in failure to provide impactful marketing creating greater Juicebox awareness, stagnant turn outs, and minimal directly measurable benefit to Juicebox protocol.
