The growth and engagement of the POB community continues to amaze me. In only a few short months, POB is developing at a rate faster than I imagined and continues to build momentum and users of the #proofofbrain tag.

To keep this momentum going we need to come together as an invested community and start discussing the direction for the tribe. If the tribe is to continue to build in value, worth and engagement now and into the future, potential investors need to see where the tribe intends to go.

Just as the teams behind LeoFinance and CTP have done, I feel we need a roadmap showing the planned direction of the tribe.

Now it is easy to say that we are plodding along nicely and there is some great growth in this community, it could all come to a screaming halt if there is no planned direction.

What drew me to this tribe from the outset was the tokenomics and how tokens were to distributed through Proof of Brain. The overall scarcity of tokens will also fare the tribe well into the future. My biggest concern is, without a clear direction, the tribe could slide into just another tribe on Hive-Engine that is supported by a handful of core members but doesn't see it's full potential as a truly Proof of Brain concept.

I was hoping that it could become a more decentralised tribe than LeoFinance or HIVE, but whales are starting to build their stake significantly and have a very large influence over the rewards pool. One place I always check when looking at a tribe is the Trending page to see what and who is being upvoted. Even though there are a few regular names in the Trending list, there is a wider spread of POBbers which is encouraging.


So where to from here to build and generate more growth and interest in the POB tribe?

  1. More communication from @proofofbrainio - some users have likened the founder to Satoshi Nakamoto of Bitcoin fame, which is fine from an anonymity point of view. But, if the tribe is to gain further traction and some sustained growth, I feel the founder needs to engage some more with the community to at least set some boundaries or give permission for tribe members to move forward. Without @proofofbrainio's involvement in some form, it will be hard to make any changes.
  2. Develop a methodology for proposing improvements and getting these approved through the community. I initially proposed a governance team of some sort, but after engaging with @proofofbrainio, a better method could be some sort of stake voting method. Again, this will give more power and influence to those who hold a larger stake so some sort of tiered voting might be the best way to go?
  3. Propose a Draft Roadmap and publish this to the community - this will provide the reason and background to gain potential investment and drive further growth. My ideas that could be included in a roadmap are:
  • Upgrading the front-end UI - this idea seems to have already been taken on by @leprechaun and there is some ideas and work happening behind the scenes already. Another idea is to engage a Dev working on other tribe front-ends to assist with the development on the POB one. The current front-end is the generic tribe one and is glitchy and lacking some of the features seen on others like LeoFinance
  • Look for opportunities to list on other exchanges - As LeoFinance has done, where can we build value in the POB token through access to other markets? CUB Fiance could be a way to access the Binance Smart Chain platform and there are possibilities to place the token on the EOS blockchain if that was of interest. wPOB could also provide access to the endless avenues of ETH based DeFi as well.
  • Incorporating Advertisement Revenue Streams - a possibility to use ad revenue to pay for tribe upgrades and build further capacity for the tribe to self-fund it growth.

There are many opportunities that could be investigated to build the POB tribe into one of the strongest tribes and truly see the potential of #proofofbrain. I am not sure where to from here, though I'd be happy to start up a discussion at a suitable time to engage in the next steps and how we might be able to carve out a Draft Roadmap.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks for reading.
