Abstract

For full details please refer to the forum post. TLDR: All part-time contributors have been critical in multiple aspects of developing and building Yam. They were never promised compensation but they volunteered for several month because they believed in Yam’s mission:

Yam is a community run Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) innovating at the intersection of decentralized governance and programmable finance, bound by shared financial incentives with the goal of empowering people with greater economic benefits and financial well being within the emerging world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

As we progress through the building of Yam’s ecosystem, time requirements and dedication is necessary to build out the current and future products.

Here are the guidelines for part-time contributors to receive compensation:

• Each contributor has their roles and responsibilities. • Part-time commitment is ~10hrs of documentable work a week. • Monthly contributor reports. • Quarterly reviews. • Weekly discussions and or calls • Contributors will control their own time, if there are any issues with the weekly requirements, they are flexible.

Contributor Core Values

• Open and Merit Based Discussion: Contributors should organize information to be presented to the community in an open and unbiased manner. The discussion and consideration of ideas should be based on the merits of those ideas. If you disagree with an idea or solution, describe why and how you would remedy it. • Support Ethical Growth: Contributors should be committed to growing the the long term value of the YAM DAO and the YAM token and to strengthening the community of token holders and contributors.

Ross has been interested in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2017, but really fell down the rabbithole in 2018. Since then I have become a DeFi junky and find myself pondering different crypto-economic systems whenever I have spare time. I was involved in early governance conversations during the launch of YFI and have helped vet and brainstorm ideas for another upcoming defi product that will be released soon. In my day job I am an architect, where I have overseen the design and construction of numerous complex and high end projects. I started farming YAM on day 1, have my delegator POAP, and see boundless potential in what we are all building here.
