Listen Later

Tune in to the episode where the duo chats with Seth Benton, core contributor for Source Cred (a reward distribution tool for measuring value created & covers activity such as Github commits, Discord & Discourse activity) as we discuss his journey & insights with SourceCred as a tool for reshaping how value creation in DAOs is rewarded.

We talk about:

  • His foray into open source code, how his passion for it eventually lead him to work with Decred, one of the earliest crypto communities in the space & the XPs that lead him to tinker with SourceCred
  • What SourceCred’s all about & how its scoring algo was inspired by Google PageRank
  • The thought process behind implementing Github commits as a reward-worthy metric & broadening the scope to Discord & Discourse activity
  • How early adopters like MakerDAO used it for incentivizing community engagement & his insights for rewarding these engagement streams while running MakerDAO’s SC instance

    • Seth also has some spicy takes about DAO governance as well as emergent governance & reward distribution ideas that he’s tracking.
