extraction_notes: "Governance proposal for COAL protocol. Created decision_market entity for the proposal and new entity for COAL protocol. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms - this is a straightforward treasury/funding proposal that failed. The 4.2% allocation model (supply inflation vs miner dilution) is interesting but not sufficiently novel given existing KB coverage of treasury mechanisms."

## Summary

### 🎯 Key Points  
Establish a Development Fund through a 4.2% emissions allocation to support protocol development, reward community contributions, and enable marketing initiatives for the \$COAL ecosystem.

### 📊 Impact Analysis  
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact  
This proposal provides a structured funding mechanism that benefits community members and developers by rewarding contributions and fostering innovation.

#### 📈 Upside Potential  
The fund has the potential to enhance project sustainability and growth, leading to a more robust \$COAL ecosystem.

#### 📉 Risk Factors  
Implementing the fund may dilute mining rewards and could create tension among miners if perceived as reducing their share of emissions.

## Content

## Overview
Since its fair launch in August 2024, \$COAL has been a community-driven project with no pre-mine or team allocation. While this approach has ensured a fair start, it limits our ability to scale the project and reward community contributions.

To ensure the long-term sustainability of the project, we propose establishing a **Development Fund through a 4.2% emissions allocation**. 

This fund will:
- Support on-going protocol development and innovation
- Reward community-driven initiatives and contributions
- Enable marketing and growth initiatives to expand the \$COAL ecosystem

## Details
The emissions allocation will be 4.2% of the current mining emission rate:

11,250 * 0.042 = 472.5 (development allocation per day)

To avoid reducing mining rewards, this allocation will result in a 4.2% increase in total supply growth. However, future emission rate adjustments will integrate this allocation into the base rate.

The development allocation will be claimed weekly and transferred to a DAO-managed multisig wallet. All expenditures from this fund will be tracked and shared publicly to ensure transparency and accountability.

#### Example for Future Adjustments:
If the emission rate were adjusted to 10,000 \$COAL/day:
- Mining rewards: 9,580 \$COAL/day
- Development allocation: 420 \$COAL/day
