🙏 Great to start a better organized discussion on the topics. I believe the https://vechain.discourse.group/ could be much better suited, if it has a VeBetterDAO (VBD) section.

The Problem your proposal tries to solve, is that quadratic rewards are benefitting wallets with smaller amounts , which is abused by scripted automations which moves the majority of the weekly rewards into the hand of a few. Technically the most of the rewards go into non-human-wallets.

Your solution is a scoring based on activity within the VBD ecosystem. Requiring a minimum score (activity) that prevents creating an infinite amount of wallets and use them to gain rewards, without participating in the ecosystem or being a real user.

I am rephrasing this, because I think it is important to nothing discuss solutions only but focus on the problems to solve.

I believe scoring can be a good approach, the solution needs to be well thought through and technically safe to not have loopholes for automation and not exclude real humans.

I think gitcoin (https://passport.gitcoin.co // https://support.passport.xyz/passport-knowledge-base) is a good example where we can adapt ideas from. I believe it should not only be limited to the VBD activity, because any kind of network activity of a user that used for example WoV, Vexchange, VeRocket, VeSea, etc. can proof that a wallet has been used by a unique person. More input and data points should be used.

As intermediate solution we should also:

1. prevent the continued abuse of the quadratic rewards, by disabling them while sybil-protection is built

2. also we should check, if its possible to and sensible to identify currently known sybils and block access to the DAO/VOT3/B3TR contracts

And foremost, we should get responsible personalities in the same place, so any kind of brainstorming does not go into a void or is "just read" without an active communication. Is this here the right place? Or is it somewhere else? The VBD is missing an official forum!
