Generally speaking, I think it comes down to the politics involved in landing a lot of these gigs which makes them unattractive, even with an increase in pay.
If somebody needs to spend 3 months convincing a DAO they’re suitable for the task, to earn 1.5x their monthly salary

@francisgowen
really hit the nail on the head here. I understand the collective’s iterative process, but it’s logical to assume that these early iterations are critical to the long term success of the entire initiative. I personally think that Optimizing for & funding
3/ This rhetoric seemed to bifurcate nominated projects into well-funded or non-funded.
It's backward and blinding - making folks overlook the actual contributions of projects
Why penalize those who have received funding if they offer, free open-sourced public goods?

Told my largest OP delegator that by delegating to me, he'd 1.5x the value of his OP, competitive with yield farming. With the most recent yield distribution (ie, 3rd OP airdrop), he's received a +25% return on his initial delegated OP amount and has since doubled his position

Key takeaways:
• Incentives can drive short-term spikes in usage; however, tapering and strict vesting could sustain activity further
• Wash trading remains an issue in trading incentive programs
• Incentives led to a 23x surge in trading volume but only doubled daily traders

The current lack of standardization requires DAOs to reconcile data across each tool utilized in their tool stack.

9/ Takeaway:
The Collective & proposing protocols should consider metrics and objectives for retention and long-term sustainability. The observed decline in TVL post-incentives suggests that future KPIs should measure long-term sustainability, not just a spike during incentives.
