[SDIP-7] Move Ambassador Leaderboard payouts from Quarterly to Monthly

Hindsgaul

Summary

The Shyft DAO aims to continue the Ambassador Program with a slight adjustment, incorporating feedback from existing ambassadors. Ambassadors on the leaderboard will now receive their payouts monthly, instead of every three months. Annual payout amount will not change. This adjustment will provide a more consistent income stream for our Ambassadors, streamlining the operation of the program and catering more closely to the needs of our dedicated community leaders.

Motivation

Our Ambassadors are fundamental in fostering and maintaining the Shyft community. Therefore, their rewards should mirror their commitment and the value they bring. In response to their feedback and to offer a more predictable reward system, we propose the shift to a monthly payout scheme, currently totaling $12,000 and 1,200,000 Shyft Tokens annually. The specific benefits for the Ambassadors, determined by the DAO Marketing & Community Committee, include SHFT token rewards, NFT’s, exclusive access to discord discussions, and more.

Proposal

Request for Funds: The Ambassador Program has successfully cultivated community health, engagement, and growth through a diverse array of activities led by community members and users. Focusing on Content Creation, Growth, and Organization, the program inspires wide-ranging participation, accommodating a variety of strengths and talents among our Ambassadors.

To sustain the momentum of the Ambassador Program, the Marketing & Community Committee is requesting the maintenance of $12,000 USD, and 100,000 Shyft Tokens to be distributed on a monthly basis, aligning with the newly proposed payout structure.

Feedback Period

The feedback process begins now and is scheduled to conclude on 14/07/2023. Following the feedback period, provided there is sufficient interest and support from the community for the proposal, a Snapshot vote is anticipated to be initiated on 14/07/2023.

I think this is the best thing to do. The ambassadors should be the backbone of the ecosystem. Because they are the ones that will drive more awareness

This is the best to do, I also suggest that the ambassador leaderboard payout should be monthly
So that ambassadors that join each month will be able to also join the leaderboard too

Manuson

I accept the fact that payment is monthly. It's also important to keep an eye on the ranking,especially of those who often have the same points. For example,when two ambassadors have the same points,you can favor the one who hasn't received any payment,even if he has the same points as the tenth in the top10.

Manuson there is nothing like favour leaderboard will be done accordingly

Personally, I agree 100% that the payment will become monthly again and $1,000 per month.

And I think it changes practically nothing since it does not change the budget that remains the same and that it is just the payment that becomes per month.

Pjay

I totally support this proposal. Payment in monthly basis, would motivate ambassadors and content creators to do their best, hence it's good for the growth of the community.

JDSH

This is a great idea I would like to have the monthly reward of the ambassador program every month

messyroshko

Moving into a monthly leaderboard rewards system will give the possibility to trace better members' performance, incentivize activity, and have easier accounting.

Given the overwhelming support for the proposal it will now be moved to a snapshot vote.
