ProsperON Season 0

A Plural Staking Super App for Celo

ProsperON is an experimental economic model where network usage (gas fees and voluntary CELO burns) earns users non-transferable, decaying "Prosper Credits" that determine their share of weekly yield distributions from a collaborative endowment pool.

Key Concepts

Prosper Credits

• Earn: 1 CELO burned (gas or voluntary) = 1 raw credit
• Decay: 2% per week, applied continuously based on transaction age
• Non-transferable: Credits are tied to your wallet identity
• Aggregated: All linked wallets contribute to your total

Credit Formula

decayed_credits = raw_credits × (0.98 ^ weeks_since_transaction)
total_credits = sum(decayed_credits for all transactions)

Governance Voting

• Voting power = your current decayed credits at vote time
• Votes are "snapshot" at cast time for auditability
• Supports For / Against / Abstain votes
• Credit threshold required to create proposals and vote

Weekly Distributions

• Yield generated from Aave deposits
• Distributed proportionally: your_share = your_credits / total_credits
• Users can steer their allocation across ecosystem buckets

Season 0: Validation Phase

ProsperON Season 0 is a centralized MVP designed to validate the economic model before decentralization:

• All inputs are on-chain verifiable (Celo transactions)
• Credit calculations are auditable
• Allocations are tracked on a centralized ledger
• This phase collects data to design Celo's future economic system

Contributing

This project is in experimental validation phase. Contributions and feedback are welcome as we iterate on the economic model.
