📊 Impact Hour Analysis Voting Results 🗳️

The proposal submissions and voting has been completed for the Impact Hour analysis. Submitting and voting on proposals ran from June 24 to July 2 with a 24h extension until July 3 at the request of the community. Four proposals were selected from seven for the run-off and finalized July 2. Voting closed July 8.

Here are the 4 run-off proposals:

10. Bad for the Commons is bad for us all, restore 40% of deleted earned Impact Hours

11.🔥 PRAISEMAGEDDON 🔥

12. 👽 No Abnormal Intervention 👽 🚫 75% Governance Rights returned to paid contributors via vote Post-Hatch & Praise Party for TE Rockstars

13. When the best intervention is not to intervene

And the winner is…! 🥁

The final tally showed a very close race between numbers 11 and 12, with the community deciding to allow for a collaboration between the two to decide the parameters for the Impact Hour intervention. We look forward to those decisions in the near future.

The Praise data analysis was long and involved, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes intense, and as a community we found rifts and alliances that eventually strengthened our collective bond. Moving forward, we are grateful not only for one another’s support but for the communal commitment to upholding the TEC’s values and to making it an inclusive, dynamic, dependable and heartfelt community that is able to forge ahead not just despite differences but due to the unique and meaningful points of view each and every one of us hold.

💐 Community Video 📹

We are excited to share our community video! It represents our international collective and communal interest in the advancement of token engineering through the creation of ethical, safe, resilient and diverse economic systems for the benefit of societies around the world.

As stated in our Mission, Vision and Values, we privilege the cultural layer in our development as a means to bring together a community that can flourish and help establish and maintain ethical principles, standards, tools and methodologies that will in turn support best practices for engineering safe, tokenized economies. Whether you want to participate on the ground level, apply for funding for a project or simply be part of the community, join us!

👋🏾 Don’t Lose Your Impact Hours 💸

A final reminder that any unclaimed Impact Hours will disappear forever on the first day of the Hatch. If you’ve participated in the TEC in any way and received Praise, you have Impact Hours! Claim them before it’s too late!

Impact Hours accumulate through the acknowledged participation of contributors in the TEC through the Praise system. They will be converted to TEC Hatch tokens during the Hatch. To claim those tokens, you must activate your Trusted Seed membership before the first day of the Hatch. Activate your Trusted Seed membership now.

The TEC Hatch is only open to activated Trusted Seed members. Immediately before we hatch, activated Trusted Seed members will be registered to receive their Impact Hours. At that time, any Impact Hours not associated with an activated Trusted Seed member will be lost forever!

A scholarship is available for the Trusted Seed membership, open to anyone who may need it. Apply here.

⏲️ Countdown to Hatch 🐣

We are inches away from the Hatch and are awaiting the green light from each of the 11 Working Groups. We are so close! Here is our last checklist.

Meanwhile, don’t forget to get wxDAI, as that is what you will need to participate in the Hatch. We mentioned this in the last blog post as well as on the forum, with complete directions on how to do it.

🙌 Impact Hour Leaderboard — The Praise is in! 🍭

Here are the quantified lists for this sprint’s Praise!

TEC contributors (including yourself!) receive Praise from others in the community through Telegram and Discord. Every two weeks, this Praise is quantified as Impact Hours, which are to be converted into TECH tokens during the Hatch. The exact value of Impact Hours will depend on how much is collected in the Hatch.

Congratulations on the hard work, everyone, and thank you for your contributions to the Token Engineering Commons! 💗

Here is the full list of Impact Hours awarded for work from June 19 — July 2:

Every contribution counts, and the Token Engineering Commons is incredibly grateful for its 400+ active contributors who have earned Praise so far. 🙏 Below is a partial list of total Impact Hours to date. The full list and the math behind its calculation can be found in this spreadsheet.

Until next time: check out the community video, activate your Trusted Seed membership and get in touch if you’re at EthCC in Paris! Also: don’t forget to get your wxDAI for the Hatch, keep dishing the Praise, and join us on Discord! The TEC calendar gives all times and channels.
