[Draft] Signalling proposal - Will you support an airdrop campaign using Namada's PGF?

Proposal drafted:


I’m Gavin Birch (x.com), and we (Luminara) are organizing a Donor Drop. This is a signalling proposal to gauge support for this campaign. The idea is for Namada PGF to get NAM into more hands, while driving donations to Coin Center’s ethereum address: 0x15322B546e31F5Bfe144C4ae133A9Db6F0059fe3

The idea and info about Coin Center here: [Draft] Signalling proposal - Will you support an airdrop campaign using Namada's PGF?

tl;dr

Instead of directly donating $NAM tokens, we’d like to use PGF NAM to drive ETH donations to Coin Center. Coin Center donors during the Donor Drop window would qualify for a NAM airdrop claim. In the end, Coin Center would have a liquid asset (instead of NAM) and donors would have early access to NAM. Please see my amateurish diagram: [Draft] Signalling proposal - Will you support an airdrop campaign using Namada's PGF? - #8 by Gavin

I’m pretty excited that this could be an elegant new token distribution mechanism/strategy, and I hope that other communities will copy it.

  • 1,000,000 NAM for the allocations to donors

  • approx 3 week campaign and/or donation window

The mechanism isn’t finalized yet, but it may involve a donation cap and time weighting like this (ignore the $ values!): Online Python - IDE, Editor, Compiler, Interpreter

This is a signalling proposal only–please show your support if you’re into this. We will need to follow up with a PGF proposal with the list of donor tnam addresses so that Namada’s PGF can distribute NAM to them. (What’s neat is that this can be done before Phase 5.)

If you would like to be involved, any of these could help:

  1. a response on the forum topic ([Draft] Signalling proposal - Will you support an airdrop campaign using Namada's PGF?) and/or a tweet
  2. feedback (or advice) about the campaign and/or mechanism
  3. a front-end page to see donations in real-time
  4. something else that we haven’t thought of

Thank you to all of the folks who have helped!
