RetroPGF Experimentation: Voting Algorithms

[Griff]

I discussed a bunch of other problems that could be addressed by changing the algorithm in a different thread so I will cross post here.

These are the 8 topics I explore

1. Popularity Bias & Nepotism

2. Lack of Feedback from Badgeholders to Projects

3. Quantifying Every Projects Impact as an OP Amount

4. Considering previous OP grants and other income in RetroPGF

5. Badgeholder Overwhelm

6. Over-rewarding subpar projects, under rewarding top-tier projects

7. Inequitable Recognition of Badgeholders’ Efforts

8. Projects don’t get exposure, only OP tokens

RetroPGF Round 3 Feedback Thread

I’m so excited about the RetroPGF mechanism and have been since the first round. I have seen its impact in Optimism and am confident the mechanisms’ impact can scale beyond crypto and into the default world. I deeply want to support its evolution which is why I am excited to share some insights aimed at refining and enhancing the RetroPGF voting process. We are using these insights to redesign Pairwise The following problem/solutions sets are inspired by @OPmichael’s format in the thread and ar…
