1. Proposal approval rewards: Proposals that are approved via the PoD governance vote each month will receive a 5,000 NAX rewards;
2. Semi-annual evaluation: The Nebulas Technical Committee will review and consider all proposals quality based on a scoring system containing multiple requirements. This includes the follow-up status of the project and the voting status of governance nodes, etc. will be used to select excellent proposals and projects, and give the proposal and project leader a maximum reward of 50,000 NAX.

1. Proposal approval reward

After the voting of each governance cycle is completed, a maximum of 5 outstanding proposals will be selected by the Nebulas Technical Committee from the voted upon proposals. Each outstanding proposal creator will receive a 5,000 NAX reward.

Excellent Project Awards

Selection range:

1. Items stated in the last selection cycle

The technical committee conducts assessments based on innovation and contribution, evaluates the actual effect and issues a report. The number of projects that will receive a reward is no more than five. Project leader rewards 50,000NAX, proposal sponsor rewards 50,000NAX

Note:

Due to the lack of innovation, some proposals can be immediately closed if they meet any of the following criteria. When closing a proposal,a message from the moderator needs to be added specifying why the proposal has been closed:

• Plagiarized proposal.
• Although not mentioned on GN, the same project is already completed or in progress.
• The proposer accidentally submitted the proposal repeatedly.
• The proposal description was not completed or the information was missing significant required details. The technical committee should try to communicate with the proposer and only close a proposal if they are unwilling to improve or complete the proposal.

The following proposals will not be closed thereby leaving the decision to the governance nodes to decide:

1. Multiple proposers have submitted different solutions to the same problem;
2. Separate proposals have the same solution to the same problem but the project budget and duration differ.
