The Cosmos Hub is a thriving community where every participant whether validators, developers, or active governance members plays a vital role in building the future of our ecosystem. However, it’s often challenging to quantify and recognize these contributions beyond the blockchain itself.
To address this, I propose integrating Cosmos wallets (Keplr and compatible ones) with the Cosmos Hub forum. This initiative would establish a clear and transparent track record of contributions by introducing a point-based system to reward and highlight active participants, especially those who are constructive and make governance decisions that shape the future of the Cosmos Hub.
Goals of the Proposal.
- Create a Contribution Track Record:
By linking their wallets to the forum, users could accumulate points based on their activity, such as:
-
engaging in meaningful discussions.
-
creating constructive content.
-
promoting best practices in on-chain governance.
- Reward Active Contributors:
The most involved users could be incentivized through rewards like badges, official recognition, or even on-chain rewards such as token distributions or delegations.
A public leaderboard could showcase the most influential contributors to further encourage participation.
- Align On-Chain and Off-Chain Contributions:
This system would highlight individuals who not only participate actively on the forum but also make sound decisions in on-chain governance processes (voting, submitting proposals, etc.).
Benefits for the Community.
Transparency and Engagement:
A track record will help distinguish genuine contributors from passive participants or mere speculators.
Recognition of Efforts:
Active members will receive tangible acknowledgment, motivating deeper engagement within the community.
Stronger Governance:
By rewarding constructive behavior, we can foster more robust and meaningful on-chain decision-making for the future of the Cosmos Hub.
Next Steps
-
Define the technical framework to enable wallet integration with the forum.
-
Design the points system and its mechanics (e.g., which actions are rewarded and the rules for point allocation).
-
Discuss potential incentives (badges, delegations, rewards, etc.).
I invite all forum members to share their thoughts and feedback on this proposal. Together, let’s make the Cosmos Hub a model of effective and fair collaboration within the blockchain ecosystem.
