Futarchy: Let the Markets Decide

[owocki]

one question i have re; futarchy is "are the most important things in the allo ecosystem measurable? and how much can these things be gamed by goodharts law?

in the path to 10x, i think the steps are

@owocki

• Find the talent. Quarterly retroactive airdrops to systematically mine the design space for the best Allo talent & builds.
• Find (3,3) with the talent. Give them ALLO pro-rata relative to the amount of $$ they move x how much we find they are aligned with us.
• Deepen (3,3) with talent. Give them more ALLO if/when they agree to a revenue share with us. 3x more allo for 3% of your revenue, 10x more allo for 10% more revenue and so on.
• Further deepen (3,3) with talent.
  1. Give them $$$ from the VC fund.
  2. Give them allo protocol & adjacent open source tools to build upon.
  3. Give them intelligence from our Intelligence Pillar.
  4. Give them distribution in the Gitcoin network + Greenpill network.
• Do this at scale. We do this across 20-100 projects (though quality is more important than quantity) from 2025-2028.
• Sell to Funders. Create the category of onchain capital allocation. Bundle it up as ALLO and sell it to LPs who want access to the emerging category of onchain capital allocation.

how could we point futarchy at finding the best talent? (quality is hard to quantify). that is the top of the funnel.

then after we’ve got the apps in our ecosystem… i think its pretty easy to measure the funding flowing through them. GMV = Gross Marketplace Value. perhaps that could be a futarchic market.
