- but the stable is xDAI
- pay contributors in xdai

augmented bonding curve
- tampens down big sell offs

Giveth
Token Engineering Commons (commons is token engineering expertise)
- common pool that came out of the initial fundraising
- convition voting
- token holders have the ability to vote with those tokens
- the longer you keep your tokens on a specific proposal the more impact on it getting funded
- treasury is spent on building the field of token engineering
- token engineering academy
- **CTA for learning: fall 2022: [token engineering fundamentals course](https://medium.com/tokenengineering/token-engineering-fundamentals-49b15b42fa5)**
- fund public goods

What's a commons
- most common are natural resources
- others are knowledge
- social protocols surround stewarding a shared public good

Token Engineering is a new field that's emerging and they are building and educating for this expertise.

Vision: Free up the resources to share the learnings and tools.
