Gonka Restitution Committee

The Problem

  • The protocol changes and sometimes participants suffer losses due to bugs and unpredictable behavior
  • It would be fair to compensate participants for their losses
  • Not all losses occur because of the protocol; such losses are not compensated
  • A governance wallet was created to make such compensations, among other things, using unclaimed rewards
  • The current compensation mechanism is through voting, but:
  • Only the team can prepare compensation votes at the moment
  • If a bug affects a small number of participants, it's difficult to draw attention to the problem and gather quorum
  • The task of triaging issues falls on the team

Proposal

Therefore, I propose forming a compensation committee that:

  • Collects information and accepts compensation claims from participants
  • Pre-filters compensations that are related to the protocol
  • Groups incidents and periodically brings them to a general vote

How this can be organized

  • A chat of 10-15 people together with the Gonka team
  • The team observes and helps answer questions, but decisions are made by committee members
  • Initially the team helps make proposals, then we do it ourselves
  • Initial committee composition — everyone present in this chat. Later we decide together who else to add
  • Discussion is conducted in English to be inclusive

Requirements for participants

  • Have technical understanding of how the network works
  • No more than one participant from one segment
  • Have the ability and motivation to participate
  • We already have the first compensation proposal (epochs 132 and 133) and several other participants who had issues; we can test the process with this
  • Everything else we'll figure out as we go

Join

If you have the opportunity and desire to be part of the committee — please confirm your participation.
