Compensation Model

Purpose (Why)

At a practical level, Samara only dealt with contributions so far:

• historical contributions (recorded in Google sheets)
• personal contributions (work done on the side)
• external contributions (financial or knowledge transfers)
• quest-based contributions (Hypha quests)

In addition, Samara has developed an ad-hoc compensation model:

• define HUSD need in advance (based on your fiat needs to be able to contribute the time to Samara)
• propose commitment (%)
• do the Co-Ev process
• update commitment
• use 3 salary bands related with contribution (%): 70k for 1%- 49% contribution, 90k for 50%-79% contribution, 110k for >80% contribution
• HUSD amount pay and the rest in Samara tokens with 1.8 multiplier

The purpose of this policy is to anchor the compensation model on the approach outlined in The Chronicles of Samara and to better integrate with key concepts for:

1. Mindshare (level of personal involvement)
2. Complexity (a priori encoding of experience for roles, tasks or quests)
3. Value (a posteriori evaluation and assessment of activities)
4. Bonus (generic multiplier added on top)
