The Biggest Worker Proposal Fund in Blockchain History Announced by WAX
- More than 75 million WAX tokens are waiting for developers who put time and effort into growing the WAX blockchain.
- Every project will be carefully reviewed in two stages, with 35% for being the win condition.
In a press release, Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX) announced its new system designed to expand the WAX blockchain via innovation and decentralization by the name of WAX Labs.
WAX Labs is one of the biggest community-owned worker proposal systems in the entire blockchain ecosystem, with more than 75 million WAX tokens that are worth millions of USD, part of the WAX Labs fund. The fund is designated to compensate developers who work on the WAX blockchain and help with WAX Labs’ growth.
WAX wants to create the broadest network of blockchain developers in the world through its funded worker proposal system.
Some details about the system
WAX Labs wants to encourage developers to work on new WAX projects and upgrades, which gravitate around the needs of the community. Developers will receive WAX tokens from the fund according to the time and effort they’ve invested. It is planned that the WAX Labs fund will support all WAX development work for many years.
Of course, only projects that impact the WAX ecosystem in a positive and beneficial manner will be suitable for funding.
Applications will be carefully reviewed, meaning that if somebody applies for bigger funding than the amount voters believe is suitable for this particular project (in terms of the value it will add to the WAX ecosystem) – it may not be accepted. After a project has been rejected on this point – it can be resubmitted with new numbers.
WAX shared that projects, which are functions of another role in the WAX ecosystem, which earns tokens, will not be approved.
WAX Labs is beneficial for developers who receive tokens in exchange for their time and for the WAX community, which receives access to more resources.
As expected, the whole WAX organization will also benefit from the new system as it will leverage good ideas coming from the community.
Steps for a project to be accepted
- Create a candidate profile and submit your projects via the WAX Labs portal.
- The project is then assessed by reviewers, selected by a WAX Guilds-chosen committee.
- When a project is approved by the reviewers, it is shared with the WAX community for 30 days. During that period the community votes for or against the project.
- In order to be accepted, 35% of the staked WAX Tokens have to be voted for the project.
- When a project is approved, WAX tokens are sent as a payment to fund the venture.
WAX Labs shared that payments will be based on accomplishing various milestones part of the project.
The first funded project has already been announced:
- The crypto payments infrastructure provider will use the funding to accelerate its international expansion, hire new talent, and add more payment methods.
