Instead of drawing down treasury, ecosystems should be funding their grants programs with DeFi.
I’m really excited to announce that I am moving into my new role as Head of Impact at @octant. This is quite a funny story if you have a few minutes to read, as it’s really wild to reflect on this crypto journey, starting back in 2015. I had this eclectic roommate who had hair like sideshow bob from The Simpson. He came home one day extremely upset, because he had just got into a shouting match with an Stanford economics professor in the middle of Stanford’s campus, with the professor ridiculing him how Bitcoin and Ethereum would never amount to anything. This was the first time I had ever heard about Ethereum, so he began to educate me on the subject and I bought my first ETH at 4.10$.
I'm so bullish on @octant v2 and Ethereum Alignment. Why? What if your treasury could fuel sustainable growth without losing a dime of principal? Octant v2 makes it possible. Deploy capital into yield strategies—staking, DeFi, etc & stream that yield to your grants program. Token holders lock your ecosystem token to gain governance power in your ecosystem grants, directing funds to high-impact projects. It’s an impact prediction market, bc they want their token price to go up. This aligns incentives & stabilizes your token price. Your capital stays intact, while yield powers impact. Why are we building this? Ethereum Alignment: Separately from your grants program, at least 5% of your yield flows to a pool solely for funding base layer Etheruem Public goods, which everyone building on ETH relies on. Grow your ecosystem, give utility and empowerment to your community/token, and fund what matters to Ethereum sustainably. read more: https://octantapp.notion.site/octantv2-ecosystem-growth-engine
