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.

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?

Full Proposal Text

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. 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 tracked and shared publicly.
