Some of you may remember me as the leader of the Degens Army and the Kitchen Guild.

Everyone received rewards in accordance with their statistics, members who did not achieve the set KPIs in their directions... # Budget formation At the moment, NDC Degens were at the test stage, now we are ready to move on to full-fledged activity and be a part on Marketing DAO constellations (at least until NDC v1). We have revised the system of remuneration of participants, based on the current conditions of budgeting and the formation of the final monthly budget, which cannot exceed $10,000. Using our TLS system (\*paragraph 7 in our charter) we determine the activity of each Degens based on the performed KPIs. Previously, TLS defined a fixed reward system. **Example:** Leader - 1500$ Tier 1 - 1500$ Tier 2 - 1000$ Tier 3 - 500$ For more honest and transparent remuneration, we have chosen a system that excludes clear monetary rewards, and the total monetary reward of NDC Degens is divided into all participants depending on the TLS level. Thus, instead of a fixed payment, NDC Degens members will receive “Degens Points”, which determine the amount of rewards. We get a flexible system that is ready to fairly distribute resources within NDC Degens. **Now the system looks like this:** Leader - 5 Degen Points TLS 1 - 5 Degen Points TLS 2 - 3 Degen Points TLS 3 - 1.7 Degen Points ## Test Month Budget Currently, the number of participants NDC Degens Main Team - 10 Degens + 2 Leaders. Based on our report | Degen Points | Points | Rewards | Links | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TLS LVL 1 | | | | | (for 3 members) | 15 | $3797,4 | [[Approved] Test Month Report NDC Degens](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35250) | | TLS LVL 2 | | | | | (for 2 members) | 6 | $1518,9 | [http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35251](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35251) | | TLS LVL 3 | | | | | (for 5 members) | 8.5 | $2151,8 | [http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35252](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35252) | | Leaders Rewards | | | | | Leader 1 (Lolson) | 5 | $1265,8 | [[Approved] Test Month Report NDC Degens](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35250) | | Leader 2 (Baxoff) | 5 | $1265,8 | [[Approved] Test Month Report NDC Degens](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35250) | | **Total** | 39.5 | $10,000 | | | **DP cost** = $253.16 | | | | Based on the activity of each Degens, we received: Leaders = $1265,8 TLS1 = $1265,8 TLS2 = $759,4 TLS3 = $430,3 This system will allow us to work with any budget, calculating all metrics honestly and impartially. ## August Budget Based on the Degens Points and the budget limit of $ 10,000, we predict an increase in the level of content quality, as well as an increase in KPI’s for each direction. Due to the increase in professionalism, as well as the increase in KPI’s, the amount of content created will increase, but the variance of participants’ remuneration will decrease. Thus, our budget forecast for August. | Degen Points | Points | Rewards | Links | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TLS LVL 1 | | | | | (for 4 members) | 20 | $4405,2 | [[Approved] Test Month Report NDC Degens](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35250) | | TLS LVL 2 | | | | | (for 4 members) | 12 | $2643,12 | [http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35251](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35251) | | TLS LVL 3 | | | | | (for 2 members) | 3,4 | $748,88 | [http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35252](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35252) | | Leaders Rewards | | | | | Leader 1 (Lolson) | 5 | $1101,3 | [[Approved] Test Month Report NDC Degens](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35250) | | Leader 2 (Baxoff) | 5 | $1101,3 | [[Approved] Test Month Report NDC Degens](http://gov.near.org/t/test-month-report-ndc-degens/35250) | | **Total** | 45,4 | $10,000 | | | **DP cost** = $220.26 | | | | Based on the activity of each Degens, we received: Leaders = $1101,3 TLS1 = $1101,3 TLS2 = $660,8 TLS3 = $374,4 ## September Budget In the future, we intend to reduce the variance between Degens participants by increasing the level of content and changing KPI’s.

It would be great to have the Army of Degens back. In my opinion, it is one of the things that is necessary in NEAR ecosystem nowadays. I personally would like to see again how Degens work on attracting new people to NEAR. I hope this proposal will be approved and good luck guys! ---

Hi you are doing an amazing job, i hope this propolsal will be accepted. By the way, since I am a former member of the Degen team, and I know its members, I see that the list of people for payment includes people who are in Russia, will they also receive funding? Doesn’t this violate the sanctions policy? ---
