AIP 15: Incentivise Improvement Proposals

[2xAST]

Summary

In order to foster AIPs we suggest a reward system that incentivises the creation of high quality proposals. This reward system should compensate authors for their efforts in the form of sAST (staked AST) rewards from the treasury.

Specification

A balance of at least 1000 sAST is needed for an AIP submission for voting to be made. If the AIP is voted on and rejected a reward of 2000 sAST is paid out by the treasury. If the AIP is voted on and accepted a reward of 5000 sAST is paid out. The reward can be shared with coauthors by setting the amount before submission.

Rationale

• A reward system could lead to greater participation in the creation of AIPs and thus move the project forward at a more rapid pace
• The minimal requirement of staked AST should prohibit spam to a certain degree. The possible introduction of a quorum of votes needed for reward payout can be added later
• Since writing proposals is more often than not a collaborative effort the rewards can be shared. The author who submits the proposal can set the amount and who to share with based on the honor system
• The reward amount can be adjusted by AIP if the community sees a need for it

Note: This AIP retroactively applies to previously voted on AIPs.
