Proposal Details
Budget Guardrail: Core Budget Proposals Require 2 Contributors Each
collin_mav100
Abstract
For any Core Budget Proposal designed to improve core aspects of the Cardano Blockchain we must hire at least 2 companies to work cooperatively on each proposal. Any core bucket budget proposal must contain more than one entity with developers who will have full access to repos used to develop the project subject.
Motivation
We need more developers who are able to develop the core functionality on this blockchain. This is a key weakness right now that IOHK is really the center of core development on this blockchain. Any company or community that develops products/applications that include production code recognizes that you need cross-pollination between teams. The Tribal knowledge problem has already caused problems with key programmers leaving unsupported projects in this system. We need to decentralize this code creation pipeline. Additionally this creates a natural auditing function for each proposal. If there are 2 or more separate entities on a proposal we will get reviews of all party efforts in each proposal from the other parties. This will create a chance to create a solid auditing system. Once we have enough capable entities we can create a serious auditing system that random selects/rotates through entities. I would create 3 levels of Core Development entities which would boil down to Apprentice/Journeyman/Master. New development groups will need to go through an apprenticeship period. Groups that succeed and get positive reviews from partners can become journeyman entities. After a period of years a group could go to master status. This would allow us to create an auditing system to support DApp developers on this chain.
Rational
A core principle in this ecosystem is decentralization and we need to decentralize development of the core functionality on this blockchain. A core principle we believe in is trustlessness. This proposal creates a built in auditing system.
