> [@serejandmyself](#): > > At current rates, im sure a lot of the dev / validator teams that are workign with / around the hub, have spent more than 150k USD in the past 5 years. Sorry, but unsure how it all ties in I’m not sure what y’all’s revenue is like - you spend $30,000/yr to make how much??? I haven’t got paid a penny from my contributions from any crypto team/project/community — the entire time, yet I’ve made worthwhile suggestions, shared diagrams to explain myself and the code - and I have a fairly strong grasp of the value of my contributions. When things 1st started to get going with Cosmos - the discord and other outlets rant and raved about conpensating valueable contributions. The ISO opperuntiy gap was one that aligned with my interests - so I foccused on that. The ISO definitions cost money. $30,000 a year is a joke salary to anyone worth their 2 cents. > [@Diversification of DAO Treasury through Real-World Assets (RWAs) and Real-World Projects (RWPs)](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/diversification-of-dao-treasury-through-real-world-assets-rwas-and-real-world-projects-rwps/13915/1): > > 1.

The amenity developer requested $1,000,000 for a master agreement for the 2 original concepts I provided with a limited scope of where my location(s) can be. I countered with an offer to work on building a solution with a DAO structure that allows them to buildout an international DAO platform that can double as a Point-of-Sale and gating solution for customers. I’m of the opinion they have a lot to gain using blockchain technology. I’ve already stated I have NDAs signed with a real-estate amentity developer who I’ve given 2 unique concepts that I can secure a master agreement for. That master agreeement cost $1M. I wouldn’t get a cent of that money. It would be an investment in a community project that would have Cosmos branding and promote Cosmos technology…but there is still a requirement for signficant investment, probably $5M or so to break ground on ONE of the project/concepts that I have. That additonal invetment could come from the Cosmos community or from other venture capitalist - including bank financing. It would be a long-term, several year - multiphase project - yet deeply ingrained into a community. Here is potential returns on this investment minus operating expenses. Labor/Tax, ect…this is WITHOUT any real-estate development sales assosiated with it, which could produce $10s of millions of dollars in additonal revenue. Here is the subscription service revenue model at 100K, 200K, 500K and 1M subscriptions…anually. A good comparison marketing wise - to an investment in this concept - would be naming rights on a sports stadium - but it can/will generate revune AND be quality marketing. ![Screenshot_2024-09-03_111136](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/cosmos1/original/2X/0/09092fdc1748b3c85b1effcebd9dd28ed9feda66.jpeg) > [@Diversification of DAO Treasury through Real-World Assets (RWAs) and Real-World Projects (RWPs)](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/diversification-of-dao-treasury-through-real-world-assets-rwas-and-real-world-projects-rwps/13915/1): > > **Total Construction Value (Residential and Non-Residential):** > > - Dodge Data & Analytics reported $81.8 billion in total construction starts in Texas for 2023. This figure includes residential and non-residential projects. For the same reason the HEMP manafacturing and agriculture investment in Texas that I broached as a $5M investment is worth serious consideration as a commmunity investment - so is this real estate investment. > [@Validators.. The Cancer of Cosmos?](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/validators-the-cancer-of-cosmos/15112/23): > > Validators I would like to know how much time you might be able to contribiute to the real world management of different consumer facing services as a way to generate positive cash flow and with laborers wearing branded clothing doing some of these manuel services? I do have a genuine interest in how much free time validators have, to manage “aligned” services…meaning that those services can be paid for with a crypto transaction - it could be managing a team of people that clean houses, mow lawns, or any other kind of experience one might have - where a brand could be devloped with people who bring their passions together to create synergies and growth. I get that if y’all (validators) are being a real steward of the community that you actively participate in governance and lend your experience and feedback to the process…but if there is free time, to do other things in parallel that ALSO can be benefical to the community - I for one, have some very compelling ideas to enguge community members on a level I haven’t seen in a “crypto project.” For example: the HEMP stuff - I’ve got alot of legal agreements, and understand additonal revenue share and collabortations with chains like Regen…for carbon credits. The 29,000 atom that I’m requesting - is a “breaking the ice” transaction - that I’d expect to lead to exploring other oppertunities for community growth. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/retroactive-funding-request/15358)._
