Our mission
Through increased participation in our governance systems, we are making the network more secure and resilient to attacks. We have designed a system that incentivises token holders to participate in governance. Read below how that looks in practice.
How we do it
Free NFTs
We built a UI that allows anyone to send customizable NFTs to voters of any past referendum.
Bigger vote = rarer NFT
For each referendum there are multiple types of NFTs with different rarities that voters will receive. The type of NFT each voter will receive depends on a “luck factor”. This “luck factor” can be influenced by a voter to a given extent. Wallets with more funds locked in democracy for longer periods are more likely to receive one of the rarer NFTs.
Minimum voting requirement
Wallets that do not meet the minimum KSM requirements will receive the least rare NFTs with a 90% royalty.
Utility
These NFTs are a visual representation of a wallets on-chain participation in Kusama governance. It would not be surprising to see Kusama projects and parachains integrate special rewards for NFT recipients. For more information on how to integrate the NFTs into your project and the associated benefits, please read here.
Our (vague) Roadmap
Bringing the project on chain: Our path to decentralization
- Leverage OpenGov (Gov2) to decentralise the project. For more info read here.
- All decisions regarding the project are made on-chain by Kusama holders.
- Anyone can propose any changes to the project (Including NFT Rewards).
- Kusama holders can delegate their vote to "Project Managers" so that their continuous attention is not required.
