Hey @x_momo - thanks for the questions. I’ll try my best to answer:
- I cannot confirm what terms will be in future agreements, but a large portion of the use of the previous funding proposal were in token option agreements where the tokens actually sit in the Risk Labs multisig and the recipient does not have access to them; therefore, they cannot stake them. For strategic investors/partnerships their primary reason for owning tokens is long term gains so they are not looking to farm and sell tokens.
- This will be hard to breakdown. There isn’t a specific number of devs assigned to each initiative and part of the work that needs to be done is scoping out how to tackle each opportunity.
- The compensation arrangement you described is similar to what we do. We generally pay a salary in stables through Risk Labs current foundation and we provide a long term incentive agreement that is usually a token option agreement. These tokens vest over multiple years. Therefore, no ACX tokens are sold by Risk Labs and no tokens are released until 1 year out the earliest and the balance slowly vests.
- Yes, I think ACX tokenholders are happy to support this. We have the CEC that receives funding from the DAO and in the past some members have retroactively received ACX tokens for their contributions as well. I think if there is a well laid out proposal ACX tokenholder should be happy to consider it.
- No conflicts that I can think of. Risk Labs is very focused on the growth of Across protocol.
Let me know if you have any more questions and I can also get others from Risk Labs to comment.
