Voting questions

1. Budget weighting percentage for each category

Question - What percentage should be allocated to each of the funding categories for the next funding round?

Important notes & rules

• Only add whole numbers, no decimals or other characters

• The total for all categories MUST add up to exactly 100.

• Each category cannot have an allocation below 3%. This is to ensure every category has at least some funding as categories have been created to cover all forms of ideas and innovation.

• Voters can only vote once.

• Casted votes that do not follow the above guide will have ALL votes attached to that voter ID discarded.

Answer options - Attach a percentage weighting to the following categories. The total must add up to 100%, please check your math.

• Community & Outreach

• Products & Integrations

• Governance & Identity

• Development & Infrastructure

• Small & Early Stage Ideas

• Catalyst Contributors

• Infrastructure Contributors

Example

The total funding amount for fund 9 is 12,800,000 ADA. Some example percentage values to consider:

1% - 128,000 ADA

2% - 256,000 ADA

3% - 384,000 ADA

5% - 640,000 ADA

10% - 1,280,000 ADA

Applying some percentages to each category that add up to 100% produces the following example:

Category	Percentage	Category Budget Allocation
Community & Outreach	15	1,920,000 ADA
Products & Integrations	20	2,560,000 ADA
Governance & Identity	20	2,560,000 ADA
Development & Infrastructure	25	3,200,000 ADA
Small & Early Stage Ideas	6	768,000 ADA
Catalyst Contributors	7	896,000 ADA
Infrastructure Contributors	7	896,000 ADA
Total	100	12,800,000 ADA

NOTE: The amounts in the example above would then need to be rounded to the closest 25,000 ADA. This is currently a required part of the funding process.

Outcome notes

• Voter power - 1 person 1 vote.

• Weighted outcome - The outcome from the vote is based on weightings. Values will be aggregated from every vote to work out the final value for each category.

• Rounded outcome - The final values will be rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, 24.64 would be rounded to a 25% allocation. The total weightings together will equal 100%.
