How Money Can Be Made

  • RPL Rewards

    • Initial Approach : worked to get folks comfortable with the idea of staking (where I don’t take a cut of their rewards) and “borrowed ETH” wasn’t as much of a factor to determine profitability.
    • Protocol/Market changes have necessitated, a shift in this strategy
      • Bond curves didn’t exist before! They really put us in a great position~~
      • RPL is both too inherently volatile and, when taking competitors into account, is far more burdensome than it is helpful
      • eg unpredictability of staying above cliff, need to consider initial capital depreciation, token inflation, etc~~
  • ETH Staking Take Rate

    • Rejected because a direct “take rate” adds complexity to explaining the value prop and puts the onus on 2G members to calculate the impact
  • SaaS (Monthly/Annual)

    • Rejected based on overall negative sentiment when floating this idea to 2G members
  • Tiered Commission Rate Cut

    • As NO, I take a dedicated % of rETH commission — across all 2GI members, with better tiers getting the lower cut
    • RPL will still be relevant but more-so serve as optional capital used to determine ETH commission “surplus” eligibility
    • Like before, my principle here is “own your risk” — both on the upside and downside.

** Research & Thoughts on liquid staking as a buffer when full node ETH min not met?

  • Pros: yield (can choose to further subsidize recipients and/or have it be a source of revenue)
  • Cons: liquid staking is much riskier than holding reserves
