Stable Comp For Account/Production Management & Admin Groups

Has been an ongoing discussion with the team regarding the best v1 approach. This highlights some of the key roles/responsibilities vital to keeping the ship running bear or bull. This does not preclude or prevent additional compensation from other sources such as governance proposed budgets and ops distributions.

Two Critical Role Groups Included:

• Account & Production Management: CptnSkeletor, Milfdad, Wero -- $6,000/mo TOTAL Team has opted to self-manage their budget/distributions to account for value contributed.

  • Coordinate Drops & Collabs
  • Blank Selection/Optimization
  • Design Quality Assurance & Curation Funding When Applicable
  • Full Scope Ideation to Fulfillment
  • Improve Processes & Transparency as it relates to the ERP/MF-OS, new design direction, Berlin/NYC and platform improvements.

• Project Administration: Drew, Daofren, NiftyFifty -- $6,000/mo TOTAL Team has opted to self-manage their budget/distributions to account for value contributed.

  • Business Ops, Financials

  • Community/Onboarding, Discord Moderation
  • PR/Client Relationships
  • General Housekeeping, Improvements to Process Documentation & Tools
  • Misc: Shop Listings, Coordinate Sales, Improve $ROBOT Holder Perks, etc

Monthly Total: $12,000/mo USDC on 1st of Month

Three Month Retroactive Total: May, June, July = $36,000

Milestone Context: Last $ROBOT Ops Reward Distro - February 2022

The nature of the DAO life equates to many contributors providing value and often wearing many different hats, putting in work where it's most vital at any given time to expand the scope and ambition of MetaFactory. Again, this by no means captures the full roster of contributors that are deserving. Many originally proposed have opted-out, due to compensation coming from scoped project budgets, etc. Amounts set conservatively to prevent an unsustainable burn-rate with current market conditions while we scale in new broader directions.

Ops Distributions per the Milestone Distribution Schedule is unaffected. Other paths to stable/$ROBOT compensation encouraged via scoped project/budget and working group proposals taken to snapshot, such as what M3org has been doing and the recent Creative Consortium Proposal.

Should also establish a future bounty budget allocation soon for quicker compensation to part-time and one-off contributors and as a means to onboard/rain $ROBOT on new talent and community members. Can explore wholistic adjustments to the current Distro Schedule if needed to account for this approach.
