YIP: Direct % of rewards towards Ethereum public goods funding

Hi from Gitcoin.

We’re excited to see this proposal; and would be happy to run this at cost (100% of $$$$ going to public goods, minus a negligible amount for gas costs).

In addition to supporting the Ethereum ecosystem, I advise the ecosystem also consider running “yearn-specific” public goods rounds. The idea here would that we create a yearn category in our system, and people who have partnered with yearn or built on top of yearn can solicit funding from that pool.

I want to PROVE to the community that contributing to public goods is positive sum; and that they’ll get in more than they put out. I’d be interested in making $YFI a case study; showing how a profit-driven network (or organization) can create more profit & returns by contributing to public goods. The publicity will be very high ROI, but I believe the ecosystem effect on running a yearn-specific round would be EXTREMEly high too.

Any questions, let me know.

Kevin
