{{ExpertIntro|Need-Driven Funding acts as a reward ratio regulation: a second algorithm, separate from the bonding curve, that adjusts rewards to the real needs of the platform. When needs are low, the corresponding share would feed a provision fund intended to be managed by the Ynternet.org Foundation; when needs are high, the reward would be higher. The funding starts at zero or in negative territory (founders invest before the call for funding), measured by the funding cost ratio. Non-speculative, donation-based, transparent.}} | {{ExpertIntro|Need-Driven Funding acts as a reward ratio regulation: a second algorithm, separate from the bonding curve, that adjusts rewards to the real needs of the platform.
