Thanks for pulling this together and all the info provided.
I am aligned 100% with multisig signers being compensated for the responsibility and effort put into this role.
However, I think there should be more information on the effort required to be a lead multisig signer or a signer, as well as a clear set of metrics, before I can weight in the right amount. Specially if this is expressed in USD. Why is it 500 USD and not 300 USD or 800 USD? Why is it measured in USD and not HOP, as it is the case with delegates? I would also like to see vesting considered, e.g. linear vesting over 3 months or something, maybe even consider streaming if gas allows for it.
Additionally, having metrics is key from my perspective as it enables to:
- Ensure the community has tools to measure the results of what it is being compensated
- Have a measure of the cost/effort of what’s being compensated, and that incentives are aligned. E.g. amount of transactions that had to be signed, or funds that are being secured.
I understand there may have been a big knowledge gap or lack of clear understanding on how to setup the right environment to perform the role. But I am unsure the learning curve is something that should be compensated. That’s not typically the case in other roles.
