Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards: Difference between revisions

{{KidsIntro|Rewards are conditional rights to receive a share of future user subscription revenues. They are a way to give back to those who fund or build the platform early on, converting their contribution into cash over time, but only if and when users actually subscribe.}}

{{ExpertIntro|Rewards are conditional rights that are automatically converted into Swiss francs at the pace of the subscriptions taken by users. Subscription revenue is redistributed proportionally to Reward holders. Rewards can be obtained in two ways: through a donation (determined by the bonding curve) or through an attribution for work (open calls, mandates). Cash-out occurs in tranches of CHF 100, and speed depends on the number of subscribed users. We estimate reaching the optimal threshold (approx. 5 million users) will take 3 to 4 years on average, but it could take up to 10 years or never happen. There is no guarantee.}}

=== Who Receives Rewards ===

Rewards are intended for three categories of contributors:

# '''Donors''': people who support WikiDeal through Donations.

# '''Early supporters''': people who contributed to the project in the years preceding the launch of WikiDeal.

# '''Pioneers''': people who bring added value to the project and receive Rewards either through the [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Main|Open Call]] process, or as experts invited by the initial [[Gov/en/Portal:Institutions/Steering-Committee|Steering Committee]].

The [[Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Innovations:Need-Driven Funding|Need-Driven Funding]] mechanism regulates the availability of Rewards. We strictly use the Need-Driven concept.
