Contributing developers are currently working on specs for a STACK Vault that provides utility to long-term participants in the DAO. This will likely (though specs are not final) include at a minimum:

• Time-lock voting boost
• DAO tier-based boost
• Fee distribution from funds to STACK holders
• A way to get more STACK for holding STACK over the long-term

I propose that 50% of Fund 1’s management fee be distributed over the course of the next year through the upcoming STACK Vault in the form of 50% ETH and 50% STACK (with STACK bought back off the market).

Better Tokenomics

At the moment, STACK is strictly a governance token. With around $20 million in TVL, it is time to give STACK greater utility.

Streaming a portion of fund management fees to STACK holders who stake their tokens, both in the underlying currencies and in more STACK tokens, provides long-term DAO participants with the following benefits:

• Compounding ownership of the DAO (More STACK for staking STACK)
• A share in the success of Stacker Ventures current and future funds (Revenue)
• A greater voice for committing to participate over the long-term (Time-locked vote boosting)
• Another reason to upgrade to the next DAO tier, and thus more Due Diligence Committee participants (Tier boost)

Rewarding DAO Participants (STACK Holders)

DAO members should be rewarded for participating in DAO governance. This would provide a simple way of giving back to the Due Diligence Committee and StackPack members for their contributions to the DAO through a built-in STACK Vault tier boost. We are also actively exploring new ways of adding value to each of these tiers and welcome all suggestions!

Benefits to Fund 1 and SVC001 Holders

Fund 1 owns a significant portion of the STACK token supply (50,000 STACK tokens). As a large stakeholder in the success of the STACK token, Fund 1 will benefit from less STACK on the market.
