I wanted to check on the amount that was sent over. It appears I only got about 2.5K USD worth of IDLE. (even when going back a week or so on the pricing).
Am curious to learn how it was calculated that I should obtain 1,904 IDLE (worth 2.5K USD), despite the grant paying 3k USD.
I agree with this, it should be done when the completion post + confirmation of task completion is done. So its a full exact payment with quantity of units on a live price for full accuracy.
May discourage anyone participating in grants if they dont get what it owed, which is obviously what we dont want. We want to encourage all.
The grant rewards have been computed using this framework released on Jun '21, which is using a 20-day moving average price. I hope that all grants contributors have had a look at it.
It’s a methodology used in the space (see also IndexCoop) to pay grants and ensure consistency for all contributors (getting the rewards today or in eg 5 days, using the spot price, might make a great difference).
Using the spot price might give a sense of exactness now, but it won’t ever be accurate later as we’re in a volatile environment. The goal of using a rolling average is to dampen volatility. If you think in the opposite scenario, with avg price < spot price, it would have discouraged anything? We need to consider all the possible cases. How would you improve it?
