Full Transcription
Thank you. Happy Thursday. Last week of March here.
Yeah, we don't have any invited guests here this week.
But we do have a project proposal for the Project B7 changes. And we'll also have our roundtable project updates after that.
But I don't know.
Mitchie, do you want to hop up here and do Projects V7?
Hey, GM.
Oh, hey, I was muted there.
How's it going?
Hey.
One second here. Let me share my screen.
Oh, they updated it. Discord's all new now.
Yeah, it looks different.
Okay, well, let's
see if this works.
Okay, do you see my screen?
Yep, I've seen Moondale.
Yep.
Cool.
Okay, so this is the proposal actually what i'll do here is just bring up this link in split screen so we can kind of go through both in tandem um here we go.
So, yeah, this proposal is basically just to make a few updates to the proposal system.
Mostly, it's just to simplify things and update the documentation to match some of our more current practices.
We've just found more efficient, better ways of doing things, and this is just to make sure that's all reflected in the docs.
So I'll just jump through these problems here.
First off, we've updated the reporting and submission process.
So that now is down here we've updated the link and I just kind of restructured the way that it's formatted in this paragraph to make it a little clearer so
at the end here you can see you can submit your proposal here and then we have a link
directly to the proposal page that one's pretty straightforward. Project leads are noted as responsible for multi-sig creation.
However, with the new system, that's not the case anymore. Basically, those are automatically set up or just handled, like set up by the executive branch if necessary. We basically just removed that note here about what multisec creation,
we've removed it as a responsibility of the project lead.
So that one as well is just basically a simplification of this
and makes things easier for everyone.
Another thing is that the way that this is written basically
implies that in the final report
coordinate must be used for teams that are larger than
three or four people. However, in practice
we usually just leave that up to the
project lead and leave it up to the team to decide amongst themselves the way in which they want to
distribute their rewards internally. And so we've updated this. Where am I here? I'm out of place.
Yes, here it is.
So basically what we've done is we've kept the link to coordinate in there,
and we still encourage people to use it,
but just removed a lot of the details here that really don't need to be there.
This makes it sound like it's a must, like it's a mandatory thing,
and really it's optional.
But yeah, we would still like to encourage people to use and really it's it's optional um but yeah we would still like to
encourage people to to use coordinate when it makes sense um this is the only change that is
different than how we are currently doing things so with eth rewards um we change it here from the
last day of the quarter to the first day of the quarter and
the reason is that this is going to make a projection of the potential rewards a lot easier
it's going to make a lot more sense to communicate that too like at the beginning or in the middle of
the quarter we can say hey get your uh you know your community contributions in, there's X amount in the reward pool this quarter.
And I think that's like a much larger incentive
than just saying, hey, you'll get whatever percent
of whatever is in the treasury on some future date.
That doesn't, you know, people can't do that math
or they don't want to do that math.
And it just will make things a lot clearer
like from the very beginning
so um yeah that's the only real like operational change here and it's just that one word
um this one as well there's no standard asset for project salary payment so this is again
something we've been informally like we've been doing on more recent proposals, is just making sure that the MVPs or the salary, any
like payment that's going to a person as salary on that project is expressed in ETH. And that just
makes it a lot easier to do the math when it comes to retroactive rewards, because those amounts are subtracted from their potential rewards in that cycle.
And so we've just made it like black and white here.
Those payments need to be expressed in ETH.
However, that doesn't mean that people
can't get their salary in stables.
They definitely can.
It's just they need to first receive it
in the project in ETH, and probably with like some flex budget to to, you know, measure as a measure against potential slippage.
But then they can be converted into stables and then streamed out or paid out.
So, yeah, that's that's another change here. Something that we basically have already been doing, but we're just making it official.
Citizens control project reward distribution, however, in practice is both citizens and B-MUNI holders.
So, yeah, this is, again, just like a one line change or before we were saying citizens are presented with projects, but really it's citizens and all vMUNI holders.
And that was the case last quarter.
That will be the case, again, moving forward this quarter.
And so that's just like a one-word change here,
and I think somewhere down here at the bottom as well,
just to include vMUNI holders.
And the last one here is that before we had a reference to a script
that was used for doing the iterative normalization process which is just like one part of
the retroactives calculation process however jade has done some incredible work to streamline a lot of that process far
beyond just theater of normalization. Now we have two scripts, one that calculates the
project rewards and another one that then calculates the actual contributor rewards
while calculating in the community circle. And so those are now referenced here instead, those two scripts.
I did put a note here, though, that and basically the solution or the solutions here,
I don't need to go through.
It's just a mirror of the problems, but just like the inverse.
The only thing I want to note here is this.
So right now we do have those two scripts
and I think they're open, they're out there on GitHub.
Anyone who has any experience with GitHub
or whatever can go in and take our results
and run them for themselves.
However, I just don't think it's like fully user-friendly enough
for anyone who doesn't have some technical skill to go in and verify that.
So the objective here is, well, one of our objectives beyond just updating this is to also make a...
Oh, and I'm going to have to update this.
It should say objective number two.
Sorry, I'll update that um immediately after after this presentation but the um basically we're
going to instantiate a landing page where almost anyone like anyone in the community can take the
packaged information that we present that we publish about the reward cycle, upload it, and then make sure that they verify for themselves
that they actually do get the correct results.
So that's just going to be handled by the executive branch.
This isn't going in as a proposal.
That's just something that we're planning to have done
by the end of the quarter.
And yeah, that's basically the full outline of all of these
changes.
Cool. Thank you, Mitchie. Yes, pretty straightforward. Yeah, Pablo had a question
here on the date. So it'll be 1 january first of april first of july and
first of october i guess for each of the quarter dates is that correct yes yep first of the quarter
cool obviously if anyone has any questions senators or whoever in the audience you know feel free to
hop up here um i guess then this will go up for about a 10 day vote since it's
for the project system is that right oh that's a good point um yeah i think we can um i'll have
to double check in the constitution just to be sure that that we updated like that that's in there but
we updated like that that's in there but um yeah okay if that's the case and it'll be
yeah okay perfect days for constitution not for projects okay
um well if there are no more questions here we can uh put up i'm putting up a link here to the
temperature check vote for all the senators to give it a thumbs up,
thumbs down as to whether it should go up to snapshot.
MDP 175 here.
What's our forum again we're at five yeah how many are we we're eight people i think we need six six votes cool looks like it passed fun. Okay, cool. Awesome. Thank you, Mitchie. Anything else you want to add?
No, that's it for now. Awesome. All right, then I guess we will switch gears into roundtable project
updates. Take it in a whichever order folks want to go. Iman, it's been a little bit.
I don't know if you're available.
Hey, how's it going?
Hello.
Can you hear me?
Yep.
Let me see what it is.
Okay.
How are you all doing today?
Good.
Good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Yeah, sorry I've been out of pocket it's just been uh
pretty busy but cool with uh working at blue origin as you guys saw they announced the next
flight date today i don't know if people saw that but uh april 14th so i've been out of pocket
because we've been busy doing mission simulations and things like that in preparation. I will be serving as like a Capcom
shadow. I'm learning to do Capcom. So this is one of the instances where I will be there with
my colleague who does Capcom and learning that process. So when those simulations happen,
there's really nothing else I can do. And it's not possible to hop on another call, but things are going well. I think as far as the documentary is going,
we got a rough draft or a pretty actually fine draft,
I guess I would say yesterday that I know Pablo and you,
Ryan have seen. I think it clocked in at about 13 minutes,
but all in all went well discussing kind of,
you know, the thing is always not about like going to space. It's about the why of going to space.
And like, what are you going to do with that afterwards? Because the flight minutes of itself is 10 minutes long, right? So you go up, you come back. Hopefully one day we'll all be able to go
orbital and the flight will be much longer than 10 minutes. But for now, really, that's the most accessible thing for us.
And so part of what I did afterwards was reach out to follow their passions, chase dreams, and
giving them some straightforward ideas or plans on how to do that.
The documentary is done.
We have to discuss if we're going to make any changes or request any changes to be made.
And then the next question becomes, where do we get more eyes on it?
And that's something we're open to from a community standpoint, getting input. We'd like to do more than just put it out there on social media. It'd
be nice to have some other way to at least distribute it or get it out there. So that is
our next step in trying to figure out what to do with it. And that's pretty much the update I have
on that. Other talks I'm giving and such, I'm going to be giving a talk at the 150-year anniversary of Vanderbilt University Med School next week, next Friday.
Similar kind of story.
It's about taking action, following your passions beyond your day job.
And then I'm giving the commencement speech at my old high school in May.
So that'll be pretty exciting and kind of just a segue from my flight, right?
All of this is because of the fight that this community sponsored.
Awesome.
Thanks, Iman.
Yeah, the documentary, the recent cut that we saw, I guess, yesterday or the day before that looks really cool.
we saw uh i guess yesterday or the day before that looks really cool super inspiring really
cool to see out there and in the community with the local kids and high schools and and all that
super cool and yeah also really exciting about uh amanda's upcoming flight and the ns31 mission
definitely gonna be gonna be watching that yeah it's gonna be a fun one to be, you know, participating in.
Yeah, definitely really cool.
But cool.
Yeah, looking forward to getting that documentary out to the community here.
Hopefully we can figure out the best way to do that.
And I guess we do have our try and get a follow-up meeting with the documentary crew on the books for next week, hopefully.
But we'll see.
Cool. crew on the books for next week hopefully but we'll we'll see cool I guess yeah next up we're missing a few people here but yeah Pablo do you want to hop up for launchpad and token management Sure. Hey everyone. Cool. So, all right.
I'll start with the launch pad and token management stuff,
and then I'll give another cool update
that's been going on here in the background.
So yeah, let's see.
With the launch pad,
we are closing in on like a full end-to-end implementation.
So Jay's been doing
some really great work on configuring uh juice box such that um you can receive uh redemption uh if
the if the launchpad um project doesn't uh raise the the amount that they're they're hoping to
raise so there's automatic redemptions um there's now uh a vesting schedule for the amount that they're hoping to raise. So there's automatic redemptions.
There's now a vesting schedule for the team
after they create it.
And yeah, basically all of the cycles
are there and configured.
And we've got a UI that Colin's been working on
that can help teams basically go end to end
from ideating on a project to receiving
funding and moving that forward. So yeah, really exciting to see it all kind of come together.
On the token management end, the biggest update is basically we've gone into the centralized exchanges, MEXC in particular, and have removed the assets that we had on the centralized exchange.
So we're moving more towards kind of like a DEX strategy and adding liquidity there and, you know, stopping kind of supportive of the centralized exchanges.
there and stopping kind of supportive of the centralized exchanges.
I think it makes a ton of sense.
And we have a lot more visibility, transparency,
and kind of control when it comes to how
Mundao approaches liquidity on DEXs versus on centralized exchanges.
So that's good.
And yeah, you'll see that there's some funds that came into the Treasury earlier
today from that. So yeah, and then also in the, yeah, I was doing some traveling this
week. So pretty exciting initiative going on. So there's a group out of the Advanced
Physics Laboratory, John Hopkins. So it's called LOGIC.
It stands for Lunar Operating Guidelines for Infrastructure Consortium.
And they basically work on helping companies develop standards to interoperate on the lunar surface.
lunar surface. And this is a program that's come out of some support from DARPA with Michael
Nyack, Orbit is his call sign. And, you know, we've been, Mundao created a proposal to get funding from a program that was adjacent to this called Luna 10, you know, a while back.
And then from there, it's kind of evolved to, you know, there's basically an initiative that went on there
to kind of create a blockchain-based simulator so that companies can work with one another and start to kind of
come to consensus on how they, you know, the standards that they'd be using. And that kind of
started to take shape and we started to even add a little bit of the financial infrastructure
that Moondite has been working on. And so that's kind of evolved into a follow on grant. So I was
there in DC just this week and working with some of the folks out of APL and DARPA and
kind of defining those deliverables. So, yeah, it's coming together. And, you know,
I think it's really exciting because it's essentially taking a lot of the technology
and work that we've done here at Moundo and applying it kind of to this consortium that's
backed by the US government. And so that's pretty cool. That's like a very big impact in terms of
the stuff that we've been doing here. And I guess to have it be recognized at that level is really, really awesome. And so, yeah, we'll continue kind of
supporting that and yeah, we'll be working closely with the Logic Consortium and kind of rolling
this out. And so, yeah, really excited to see that all come together. They've got a great group out
there and they're a bunch of really
amazing companies and people in their community that are similarly minded and they see a lot of
potential and benefit to kind of operating in this sort of transparent on-chain way and
a lot of benefits to kind of like the underlying financial infrastructure
and how that might work with autonomous systems on the surface of the moon. So
that's really, really exciting and yeah, it's cool to see how all that has kind of evolved.
So, you know, I'll keep everyone in the loop as that kind of keeps moving forward, but just wanted to share a little bit about that work.
But yeah, I'll pass it over to you, Ryan.
Cool. Thanks, Pablo. Yeah, super exciting about the DC meeting and, you know, looking forward to what might come out of this logic group.
Yeah, I guess we are missing a couple people.
Phil, I think Bob or Christina are here this week.
The only one I kind of know some updates on is with MJBob and the world's biggest analog.
with NJBOB and the world's biggest analog.
We're working on putting together a getting
a meeting scheduled with Joss at the world's biggest analog
next week and kind of talking some next steps there.
But otherwise, no updates.
I think he's still waiting on kind of getting the word out
about the application process and some of those procedures
there.
And then in terms of moonies of the moon uh no real no real changes
since the um since the lander has landed on the moon the fire the firefly blue ghost landers
up there obviously it's gone silent um but the pyramid and the lunar bounty lives on
uh i don't think there's been any major additions to the prize pool there, the Lunar Bounty,
but still super cool to have it up there.
But yeah, I guess we got a short one this week,
unless anyone wants to hop up for a brief open floor and update anything to the community.
thing to the community.
We can head on over to Major Tom and
get there a little more informally too about any
ideas or proposals or anything else that might be
going on. And again, a friendly reminder that we're
coming up here on the end of the quarter. Just a
couple more days left here.
So do be sure to submit your contributions.
