3. Demo from Hedgey Finance (Continuation of Payments Tooling)
Lindsey Winder from https://hedgey.finance/
- Focus on token vests, lock-ups, and streams
- Recipients can view stream and claim as desired
- Creating a stream creates a public dashboard for building transparency
- If have a stream, can transfer entire stream unless revocable stream
- Smart contracts have no admins and are non-upgradeable; smart contracts audited by ConsenSys Diligence
- Integrations with tax/accounting tools. Can reach out to have downloadable reports
3. Open Discussion
Stream for Providers- standards + metrics Q&A with @avsa.eth
- Recommend meta-gov oversees process and individual streams overseen by ecosystem, but can wait until next year to create a new working group to manage the Streams Initiative
- Service providers should provide regular updates, but if updates stop stewards should intervene and stop stream payments.
- Currently don’t know who stewards will be for next year, but want to let them develop own processes
- Interval of updates could be minimum of 1 month to show proof of life, but stewards should dig in for more updates as needed
- Goal is for projects to improve stability and grow ENS, but want to be lenient and allow all projects to be on the ballot
- Google doc drafted for temp check on ENS affiliate/referral program: [Temp Check] ENS Referral Program - Google Docs
- Please read and provide feedback!
- Key challenge: Self-refund program where people exploit system for personal gain
- Want ENS to grow, but registrations are trending down
- Asking wallet teams how to get ENS featured, receptive but have busy roadmap. BUT having a revenue share program could move ahead in roadmap
Reminder that Steward nominations open 6 December and run until 9 December
