!end

This is by far our biggest proposal request yet. Once approved it will update SPORTS to take advantage of nearly every feature available to Hive Engine tokens. This will include everything from new contracts for things like distribution and trading all the way to SPORTS NFTs! Let's break down what all I'm looking at changing with your approval.

The Proposal

There are a lot of new changes available for Hive Engine tokens that we have available to us. I would like to see us start taking advantage of these features. With this proposal I plan to upgrade our token, using the listed parameters, and pay all costs associated with the upgrade of SPORTS. In return I request a refund of SPORTS from the @sportsprojects account.

Update SPORTS to the SMT Contract

Hive Engine is moving away from the SCOT distribution model. By upgrading to the SMT contract we will keep SPORTS on the front of these changes. This will help to make SPORTS much more decentralized by moving away from SCOT bot and towards a contract run by Hive Engine witnesses.

Proposed Token Settings

I've kept most of the settings the same from our SCOT instance. The only changes I made was to add #sports and #hive-101690 to the approved tags.

Create a SPORTS Diesel Pool

Diesel Pools are Hive Engine's version of decentralized trading. These pools allow anyone to provide liquidity to a token pairing which allows other users to swap against that pairing. I will be purchasing a pool for SPORTS:SWAP.HIVE allowing anyone to trade SPORTS against Hive Engine's swap token for Hive.

Create Liquidity Rewards for Diesel Pool

Since there are no fees to trade on diesel pools we need a way to encourage users to provide liquidity for our pools. I would like to allocate 105,120,000 SPORTS tokens each year for liquidity providers to SPORTS:SWAP.HIVE.

Strategy Type: DieselPool 
Select Fixed for predefined list of users, DieselPool for rewarding liquidity providers to the selected pool. 
 
Number of Payments: 365 
Number of times to distribute deposited tokens. Must be between 1 and 5555. Payments are distributed every 24 hours. 
 
Token Pair: SPORTS:SWAP.HIVE 
DieselPool liquidity pair for recipient determination. 
 
Excluded Accounts: None 
Optional. List of account names to be excluded from pool share calculation. 

Create DAO Managed by Hive Engine Contract

Our tribe has strived to take governance seriously for a long time. We've already deployed solutions from ARCHON to take the vote on this proposal and manage funding in the past. This will take our governance to the next level by relying on a contract versus any single person.

In the past this our governance and funding has been done by allowing the ARCHON team to manage an account (@sports-gov) that holds assets for the tribe. Based on our voting they will send funds from that account based on our needs. This has been a great solution for decision making but leaves us trusting another tribe to support us.

Hive Engine has released a new contract that will allow us to have a decentralized contract manage our DAO. This means we can have the funds automatically stored in the contract without third party risk. This also makes it much simpler for users to request funds without needing to understand how to write the python needed to request funds from our current setup.

I confirmed that the contract for the DAO would be able to accept outside funds. With that in mind I am planning to take any remaining funds held in @sportsprojects and move them to the DAO as they were intended. This will give us quite a bit of runway to fund the account.

Payment Token: SPORTS 
Token to be paid out to the ranked proposals. You have to be the issuer of the token.

Token to be used for paying creation fee. 
 
Amount: 2500 SPORTS 
 

Launch Outpost

One of the newest additions to the Hive Engine ecosystem is tribe outposts. These outposts look to replace tribe condensers and be a one stop home to all things associated with the tribe. We'll have a refreshed home that focuses on all of our new tools. Outposts have dedicated pages just for diesel pools and our Hive Engine DAO proposals all in the same stop. To see examples of other tribe's outposts check out CTPTalk, Palnet and Splintertalk.

Launch SPORTS NFT

The biggest feature of outposts is the ability for users to use SPORTS to launch their own NFTs! After getting whitelisted, you'll be able to go to SportsTalkSocial.com, burn some SPORTS and have your own NFT created on the Hive blockchain! There will be more about this feature in upcoming posts after its launched.

Continue Hosting Legacy SportsTalkSocial.com

I've confirmed with the Hive Engine team there will be no problem with keeping the existing site up and running. I will upgrade sportstalksocial.com to point to the new Outpost site and will point sportstalk.social to our legacy condenser site. I'm happy to keep the legacy site up and running as long as its code is supported and users are still stopping in.

The Costs

I am requesting 100,000,000 SPORTS to be sent to @patrickulrich from @sportsprojects.
