As a community, we need to start capturing and reserving a percentage of the value being generated by yEarn in order to support further development, improve security, sponsor research, e.t.c. To get started, I propose we capture 5% of all yields earned through yEarn to be used as a reserve for the protocol. ## Abstract @andre.cronje has done an amazing job so far at developing the protocol. As a community, we should support his efforts. To achieve that, I propose that we should start reserving 5% of all yields earned for protocol use. How we plan to use it and what would be the sensible threshold for the reserve percentage can be determined in a different proposal ## Motivation One of the best things about the yEarn ecosystem is that there isn’t any pre-mined tokens. No money was taken from VC nor did @andre.cronje attempted to IXO (e.g. IDO, ICO) YFI tokens. This is as good as we can get when it comes to decentralization for a working and profitable defi project! Unfortunately, there are also downsides for not having some cash reserved: - Unable to cover expensive audits for contracts - Incentive to continue building awesome products - Fund/grants to sponsor researches in order to improve the products - General marketing and user support **FOR**: Reserve 5% of all yields earned through yEarn for protocol use. **AGAINST**: No changes. All rewards will continue to distribute evenly among YFI stakers. ## Metadata | Name | Value | |---------------------|--------------------------------------------| | Proposed by | 0x09173487b272311Edda01F45f97911aEB6aBd602 | | Total for votes | 332839.5446 (99.69%) | | Total against votes | 1005.9567 (0.30%) | | Quorum | 3.06% 𐄂 | | Start block | 10525527 | | End block | 10542807 | Source: [yieldfarming.info YFI Governance Information](https://yieldfarming.info/yearn/vote/) ## Copyright Copyright and related rights waived via [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
