All About Proof of Value Reports and Teams Formation

SUPERALGOS PROJECT

Proof of value reports let the community know what value has been added so that rewards are distributed wisely!

PoV reports are Medium posts that teams write to show the community the value the team has created since their last report. To streamline the governance process of potentially tens of teams, the reports must conform to a specific format and meet certain editorial criteria.

I have already discussed what constitutes value and what doesn’t in earlier posts. In this article, we incorporate the notion of the “minimum value threshold”, meaning that you must have added a certain amount of value for your PoV report to be accepted.

The rationale behind this threshold is that we can’t have one hundred people writing PoV reports to claim they have fixed three typos in the Docs each, or created one icon, or translated two pages, or fixed a simple bug, or even claim work that adds no specific value.

When a PoV report is accepted and published by the editors of this Superalgos Blog, the corresponding team is entitled to a Position definition in the Token Distribution Superalgos Governance Workspace. Then, the community may allocate rewards to the team, and team members may place claims for those rewards.

The above means that the Superalgos Blog is a gate teams must go through to get rewards. It also means that blog editors become gatekeepers. Hence, if the PoV report is not accepted by blog editors, the team does not get listed in the workspace, and no rewards may be allocated to the team.

Today, the governance workspace is set up manually for each distribution event. It’s a time-consuming process because the workspace needs to incorporate definitions for all teams with a PoV report, among other considerations. Setting up this gate is a way to limit the workload while a permanent and scalable solution is developed.

Notice that this form of gatekeeping is similar to what code maintainers do with our repositories. The project is permissionless, but still, someone needs to make sure bad actors don’t introduce malicious code.

If your PoV report is not accepted due to not meeting the minimum value threshold, you have two alternatives:

Each Proof of Value report represents a team. If you chose to aggregate value with other contributors, you will all be listed as a single team.

Multiple teams may not aggregate their work into a single PoV to meet the minimum value threshold — if they do so, they become one team.

Because people may do work on different areas of the project and with different teams, it may happen that certain value created is reported more than once, on different Proof of Value reports.

If you intend to write your own PoV, make sure you talk to teams you may have been working with so that they do not report the value you intend to report yourself.

If you are adding extra value to something you had reported in an earlier governance period, make sure you are very clear when explaining what existed previously, and what new value you are reporting.

Please be brief and go straight to the point.

You will likely want to have support from community members with significant voting power. Top-contributors tend to be busy.

Please leave stories, anecdotes, thank you notes, and tales of any sort for opinion or editorial pieces.

This is what we wish to know:

We will standardize the format of the header.

Kicker:

SUPERALGOS GOVERNANCE

To add a kicker, place the cursor before the first letter of the title, hit Enter, write the kicker SUPERALGOS GOVERNANCE (all caps), and format it with the T2 (title 2) style. When you do, Medium turns the line into a kicker.

Title:

[teamName] + “Team Proof of Value,” + [month] + [year]

Example: Distribution Team Proof of Value, December 2021

Subtitle:

Succinctly enumerate the topics covered in the post.

Example: Mobile wallet link, clarification on user creation options, first run selection.

To write a subtitle, place the cursor after the last letter of the title, hit Enter, write the subtitle and apply the T2 style. Medium will turn the paragraph into a subtitle.

Remember, to have a kicker, title, and subtitle in a Medium article, the first line must be styled with the T2 option, the second with the T option, and the third with the T2 option again.

Do not submit a PoV without an illustration. Always use an original picture. Do not reuse the same picture for multiple PoVs.

Please use a consistent title case format on all internal headings and the main title of the post. Different publications have different style guides and may follow slightly different criteria. We won’t get into the specifics, but let’s at least be consistent throughout the post.

Example: This is Proper Title Case for Main Headings and Title

You need to make editors’ work as easy as possible, delivering a finished post with few if any editing requirements.

Check that your post complies with all the above guidelines before submitting.

Here’s a checklist, so you have no excuse!

Every contributor is entitled to form a team and submit a PoV report. Single-member teams are allowed.

To submit your first PoV, follow this process:

The next two steps describe how to submit your article to the Superalgos publication.

If you are a new contributor and have been producing valuable work during this governance period, you will need the support of a Team to delegate some Token Power and help you bootstrap your first few claims.

That is how you present your credentials to reputable members of the community. This mechanism is a natural anti-spam, anti-scam filter — a feature of the collaboration that makes us stronger and more resilient.
