Summary:
- you should propose 15,000 ATOM proposals every quarter for the next 8 quarters (or some variation thereof)
- the community pool will grow by 1,050,000 atom per quarter. notional’s share of this would be 1.5%.
- the hub would spend 1.5% of community pool replenishment on notional’s services. that’s worthwhile
- this approach is more sustainable and mitigates risks
- this approach sets positive precedent via a long-term view of responsibly managing the commons

why not make a community pool-spend proposal every quarter for the next two years, at around 15,000 atom a proposal? That way the Hub community doesn’t incur opportunity cost, the community pool has time to replenish, and you can still get compensated for your work.
If the community pool is expected to grow by 4.2M ATOM over the next year, that means that notional will be allocated a bit over 1% of the quarterly replenishment rate (4,200,000 ATOM / 4 quarters = 1,050,000 ATOM per quarter) & (15,000 per month for notional / 1,050,000 ATOM = ~.015). This sets a strong precedent for a long-term outlook and sustainable contributor support. I strongly believe that some version of this is the best possible way to make your proposal. It’s slower, but it reaches the same outcomes while mitigating risks and opportunity costs.
