Hey Owocki,
I completely agree that POAP’s can be great for sybil resistance but there is an open problem of quantifying how much weight each POAP holds.
Short Term Fun, Unscalable
An interesting short term solution would be to fund a small bounty(s) for someone to gather a ~top 100 list of Sybil resistant POAPs. It could be anchored around a few data points (collector base, size, historical significance, etc) but focusing on the quality of distribution is the most important.
Examples of POAPs that could be included may be:
- You Met Me POAPs from Patricio
- Schelling Point POAPs
- rAAVE POAPs
- ETHGlobal Builder POAPs (distributed to builders at events)
- Ethereum Foundation POAPs (DevConnect)
- and the entire gambit of Ethereum core events (ETH Denver, DappCon, ETH Berlin, ETH CC, etc)
There are random goodies that exist that are not known to most but a good analyst can find, like the AAVE V2 Pioneers POAP.
The POAP Community Call has a small treasury and I would assume they would be willing to throw into this bounty as well.
Mid Term Solution, More Scalable
Zooming out, it’s easy to see that this isn’t very scalable and feels more like a fun POC for learnings.
I like your idea of having some sort of stake-weighted-voting mechanism to measure conviction, there could be interesting dynamics as well if not only GTC could be staked but some of those “top 100” POAPs as well. One may assume that those collectors may be more philosophically aligned with what we are trying to achieve here and may have quality input into the conviction voting system.
