# COAL: Establish Development Fund?
## Summary
Proposal to establish a development fund through a 4.2% emissions allocation (472.5 COAL/day) to support protocol development, reward community contributions, and enable marketing initiatives. The allocation would increase total supply growth by 4.2% rather than reducing mining rewards. Failed after 3-day voting period.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed
- **Proposer:** AH7F2EPHXWhfF5yc7xnv1zPbwz3YqD6CtAqbCyE9dy7r
- **Proposal Account:** DhY2YrMde6BxiqCrqUieoKt5TYzRwf2KYE3J2RQyQc7U
- **DAO Account:** 3LGGRzLrgwhEbEsNYBSTZc5MLve1bw3nDaHzzfJMQ1PG
- **Duration:** 2024-12-05 to 2024-12-08
- **Daily Allocation Proposed:** 472.5 COAL (4.2% of 11,250 COAL/day base rate)
## Significance
This proposal tested community willingness to fund protocol development through inflation in a fair-launch token with no pre-mine or team allocation. The failure suggests miners prioritized emission purity over development funding, or that the 4.2% dilution was perceived as too high. The proposal included transparency commitments (weekly claims, public expenditure tracking, DAO-managed multisig) but still failed to achieve market support.
The rejection creates a sustainability question for COAL: how does a zero-premine project fund ongoing development without either diluting miners or relying on volunteer labor?
