This series of articles lays out a system of gamified work and token voting at Fight Club. Do tasks to earn CAKE 🍰, level up your Fighter, and gain enhanced governance power.

Part 3: Implementation: CAKE 🍰 and Fighter Tiers

Tooling Used by Fight Club 🥊

Story Points - Dework

• Agile story points from team conversations to assign relative value to tasks within team workstreams

  • Autonomy at the edges 💪

• Track story points in a PM tool

• Leveraging “task points” in the Dework PM tool

Calculation of CAKE 🍰 - Spreadsheet MVP I

• Give out a “CAKE 🍰 budget” to each working group

  • An equal budget is given to each working group

• Normalize CAKE 🍰 within each working group

  • Each person gets a % of the total from each working group they contribute to

  • Multiply each contributor’s completed task story points by the “CAKE 🍰 budget” for that workstream

• Sum up each contributor’s CAKE 🍰 earned

• anon Q2 2022 CAKE 🍰 data analysis

  • A bespoke spreadsheet made by iSpeakNerd

Soulbound Tokens for Contributor Levels - Mint Kudos

• If a contributor has reached the next contribution tier, grant them a soulbound token commemorating their lifetime contribution

• Mint Kudos allows the creation of soulbound ERC-1155 tokens on Polygon

  • Use ownership of each token tier as a multiplier on their vote weight from their membership NFT

• Token animations sourced from a POAPathon community art contest

  • Winning artist rodimvs created the set of animations tokenized for Fight Club

    • Fighter 1: Lightweight - 25 🍰

    • Fighter 2: Middleweight - 50 🍰

    • Fighter 3: Heavyweight - 125 🍰

    • Fighter 4: Sumo - 250 🍰

Governance Voting - Snapshot

• Bespoke ERC-721 multi-registry strategy on Snapshot, built by MantisClone.eth

Future Ideas 💡

Automation - Orange Protocol

• May be able to automate spreadsheet calculations + soulbound token distribution through Orange 🍊 Protocol

  • Do algorithm math in the orange model and let them handle the distribution

  • Requires Dework board + task points to be exposed by Dework API (add to 721 metadata)

Visibility - Sobol

• Make all the data and calculations visible to the community

• Using sobol.io

• All the game theory for optimizing labor allocation depends on teams knowing what the distribution of contributors is…

  • Thanks for that feedback, Reese!

• Connecting Sobol visualization with a comms tool allows for real-time team assignment visualization based on Dework API

  • Some additional API data exposure from Dework is required (task board, task points…)

    • Or put that info in Dework’s task completion NFT metadata

  • Thank you to Bpetes for talking through this with me

Metropolis pods

• Metropolis pods give NFTs for Gnosis safe ownership

• On-chain data visibility for pod membership

  • Connect using collab.land for discord roles

    • 💥 Dework access is still controlled through Discord roles
