DSTKBecome a sponsor Measure methodically
Savings must be assessed in context. Criteria and limitations must be understandable.
DSTK / THE VISION
Consume less.
Give progress value.
DSTK starts from a practical idea: make energy savings visible and create an incentive to take action.
Three beliefs.
Reward verified actions
The proposed incentive relies on funded campaigns and evidence, with rules known in advance.
Build with the first participants
Feedback from users, specialists and potential sponsors must guide development.
Move forward in stages.
- 01 / NOW
Gather initial support.
Present the fundamentals, gather ideas and identify people ready to test, contribute or fund a future campaign.
- 02 / PROTOTYPE
Test the process.
Trial a limited campaign, evidence verification, the label and test-token distributions.
- 03 / VALIDATION
Assess the results.
Check real interest, measurement reliability, costs and the viability of reward rules.
- 04 / IF THE CONDITIONS ARE MET
Consider a launch.
Finalise responsibilities, technical checks and the applicable framework before any real deployment.
DST manages the ecosystem with the community.
DST coordinates the ecosystem and adjusts overall difficulty. The process is designed to be accessible at the start, then require greater effort towards higher classes.
More users in A, B and C
If many participants are in A, B and C and few in E, F and G, overall difficulty increases.
The reverse situation
If few participants are in A, B and C and many in E, F and G, overall difficulty decreases.
Details to specify
Thresholds, frequency and the size of adjustments have yet to be defined. The role of D in this monitoring and how changes take effect must be explained.
Difficulty management does not, by itself, change reward rates: it concerns the criteria for reaching classes. Rules must be understandable and announced before they are applied.
A role for the community.
The period before any potential safety-fund burn will be set by DST and the community. Decision procedures, treasury controls and gradual decentralisation have yet to be organised.
GOVERNANCE, VISUALLY
DST adjusts difficulty with the community.
Many users in A, B and C
If higher classes dominate and E, F and G are underrepresented, overall difficulty may increase.
The reverse situation
Overall difficulty may decrease to make progress more accessible.
Adjustments concern the criteria for reaching classes. They do not automatically change reward rates. Thresholds, frequency and the size of changes have yet to be defined.
