Roadmap Update

Objectives and Bets

  • The team is planning a Q3 Roadmap review on the 14th October.

Governance

The proposal for allocating 8% of weekly QUBIC emissions to the Computor Controlled Fund (CCF), which serves as a treasury to support the growth and development of the Qubic ecosystem, has been made. 

Summary

  • Purpose: It acts as a funding pool for Qubic-related projects, development, and community initiatives.

Mechanism

  • Any Qubic project, developer, or team can apply for funding from the CCF.

  • Funding requests are managed through a smart contract, where 'computors' (miners) decide on the allocation of funds.

Examples of Fund Usage

  • Airdrops: If approved, one could receive QUBIC tokens for distribution.

  • Salaries: The core development team could apply for salaries.

  • Listing Tokens: Individuals like "Mister X" could get funds to list the CFB token on  exchanges.

  • Marketing: Funds could be requested for promotional activities like exhibitions.

Adjustment

  • Computors can adjust the 8% weekly QUBIC emission at any time, ensuring sustainable funding without overwhelming the supply.

This system aims to democratically distribute resources within the Qubic community for various growth-oriented activities.

As always, we encourage the community to stay engaged and follow our progress closely. Stay connected in our Discord and Telegram.
