KAT TOKENOMICS DAO - FRAMEWORK DESIGN WORKING GROUP (FD WG)

PROPOSAL: KAT REWARD & PRIVILEGE FRAMEWORK V1.0

1. Proposal Title

KAT Reward & Privilege Framework v1.0 — Design, Testing & Governance Guidelines

2. Proposal Overview (Short Summary)

This proposal defines, designs, and tests the KAT Reward & Privilege Framework v1.0, the unified recognition model to be used across all DEP Cohort 2 DAOs.

The purpose of this framework is to provide:

  • Fair, consistent, symbolic recognition for contributions across DAOs

  • Clear regeneration-aligned categories

  • Multi-stakeholder eligibility (DAO Members, Collaborators, Ambassadors, Partners, Volunteers, Customers, KAT Holders)

  • Standardized templates, logic, and usage guidelines

  • Cross-DAO interoperability and auditability

  • A foundation for future (Cohort 3+) privilege-based systems

Funding requested: $420

(from the Framework Design WG envelope — $800)

3. Alignment With Master Plan

3.1 Impact Alignment

This proposal delivers all major Tokenomics DAO Impact Outputs:

  • KAT Reward & Privilege Framework v1.0

  • Standardized issuance categories & templates

  • Governance and weighting guidance

  • Cross-DAO testing guidelines

  • Privilege Menu v0.2 (non-financial prototypes)

3.2 Regeneration Alignment

The Tokenomics DAO does not directly generate revenue.
However, this proposal enables regeneration by:

  • Creating the Regeneration Contribution category

  • Ensuring regeneration work is rewarded consistently

  • Providing KAT issuance logic to support DAO regeneration pilots

  • Improving transparency for regeneration impact reports

3.3 Budget Alignment

  • WG Envelope: $800

  • This proposal: $420

  • Remaining: $380

3.4 Synergy Alignment

The framework requires ongoing coordination with:

  • Documentation WGs (for tracking & logs)

  • All DAOs’ WGs (for consistent adoption)

  • System Prototyping WG (dashboard + data model)

  • DAO Support WG (audit processes)

  • DEP Organizer Team (governance alignment)

4. Purpose & Background

4.1 Purpose

To design a simple, fair, transparent, multi-stakeholder KAT system that:

  • Recognizes contributions across 5 DAOs

  • Aligns incentives with regeneration

  • Supports multi-stakeholder participation

  • Provides a system-ready foundation for Cohort 3 utilities

4.2 Background

Cohort 1 highlighted several issues:

  • Inconsistent KAT recognition

  • DAOs applying categories differently

  • Lack of transparency and templates

Cohort 2 introduces a dedicated Tokenomics DAO, responsible for:

  • Designing the unified framework

  • Supporting WG proposals in other DAOs

  • Conducting monthly KAT audits

  • Producing ecosystem-wide insights

  • Building early system prototypes

This proposal is the core foundation for all KAT-related work in Cohort 2.

5. Activities & Action Plan

5.1 Key Activities

  1. Consolidate contribution types across all DAOs

  2. Define KAT categories & weighting principles

  3. Draft KAT Reward & Privilege Framework v1.0

  4. Develop issuance guidelines + templates

  5. Create Privilege Menu v0.2 (non-financial prototypes)

  6. Facilitate 2–3 cross-DAO alignment workshops

  7. Support DAOs in early testing and onboarding

  8. Produce v1.1 recommendations after implementation feedback

5.2 Deliverables

  • Framework v1.0 (PDF + Notion)

  • Issuance logic (categories, rules, evidence requirements)

  • Monthly issuance template

  • Privilege Menu v0.2

  • Cross-DAO Implementation Guide

  • Slide deck for workshops

  • Completion Report

5.3 Timeline

Week Activity

Week 4 Cross-DAO workshops
Week 5 Finalization + governance vote
Weeks 6–7 Implementation support
Week 8 Recommendations for v1.1

6. Roles & Contributors (Global)

A. Leads

  • Sofia Oliveira (Portugal) — Principal Designer & Reviewer

  • Bao Nguyen (Vietnam) — Cross-DAO Alignment Lead

B. Contributors

  • Daniel Smith (USA) — Privilege Menu + visual assets

  • Rina Matsui (Japan) — Issuance templates & documentation

  • Joseph Kim (South Korea) — Category weighting analysis

  • Priya Sharma (India) — Workshop facilitation

C. Supporting WGs

  • DAO Support & Audit WG (Tokenomics DAO)

  • System Prototyping WG (dashboard integration)

  • Documentation WGs (all DAOs)

  • Communications WGs (visual guides)

D. Notes on Multi-Stakeholder Participation

While this WG’s core contributors are DAO Members, the framework must also account for:

  • Community Collaborators

  • Partners

  • Ambassadors

  • Volunteers

  • External participants in sessions (e.g., CED users)

  • KAT holders

They do not join WG meetings but are recognized as eligible categories in the framework.

7. Budget Request - $420

Purpose of Budget

Framework design involves mapping, prototyping, governance preparation, and workshops.

Budget supports tools, facilitation, prototyping, and early testers.

Budget Breakdown

Item Purpose Cost
Miro Team Plan (1 month) Token flow mapping $20
Notion Plus (1 month) Framework documentation $10
Figma Pro (1 month) Dashboard + privilege prototype $24
Canva Pro (2 months shared) DAO educational material $28
Workshop mini-grants (4 × $15) Community facilitators $60
Data Analysis Micro-Grant Weighting analysis $40
Alignment Event logistics Poster, materials $38
Prototype testing incentives (6 × $15) Early adopters $90
Contingency Tools & audits $110
Total Requested $420

Remaining WG Budget

$380

8. Regeneration Component

Indirect Regeneration Contribution

This proposal:

  • Defines KAT categories for regeneration

  • Ensures regeneration contributions receive recognition

  • Provides templates for regeneration-related evidence

  • Supports DAOs as they design regeneration pilots

  • Enhances transparency of regeneration outputs across the ecosystem

This WG does not execute regeneration activities directly.

9. KAT Token Considerations

This proposal defines and governs:

  • KAT contribution categories

  • Weighting principles

  • Issuance rules & monthly caps

  • Multi-stakeholder eligibility

  • Evidence requirements

  • Cross-DAO consistency

  • Governance workflows for changes

  • Privilege prototypes (non-financial)

Privilege prototypes (v0.2) include:

  • Priority registration

  • Access to learning materials

  • Recognition badges

  • Voting weight multipliers (experimental)

  • Early access to DAO events

Note: All privileges remain symbolic, non-financial, and exploratory in Cohort 2.

10. Dependencies & Risks

Dependency / Risk Mitigation
Low adoption by DAOs Provide workshops + hands-on support
Confusion over categories Publish examples + Q&A library
Overcomplexity Start with minimal v1.0; refine in v1.1
Data inconsistency Use standard templates + monthly audits
Technical limitations Prototype manually; automate in Cohort 3

  • Passed by governance vote

  • Adopted by all DAOs

  • WG templates integrated into workflows

Secondary Success

  • Privilege Menu v0.2 launched
