Eliminate Leaderboard and Wearable Rewards to Extend Runway and Cut Unproductive Costs
Background
BAG.WIN currently allocates approximately $4,000 per week to leaderboard rewards and wearable rewards, totaling $16,000 per month. These rewards were originally designed to incentivize early user engagement and retention.
However, the platform is now burning $100,000 per month with only $648,000 left in treasury funds, giving us a remaining runway of 6.48 months. In order to preserve capital and ensure sustainability, we must cut unproductive spending immediately.
Proposal
- Permanently eliminate all leaderboard rewards and wearable rewards, saving $16,000 per month.
- Do not reallocate these funds—this proposal is solely aimed at reducing burn rate and extending runway.
- With this reduction, monthly burn would drop from $100,000 to $84,000, extending runway from 6.48 months to 7.71 months, giving the DAO 1.23 additional months of operations.
Rationale
-
DAO funds are currently rewarding users who contribute nothing to the platform. The majority of leaderboard and wearable rewards are being claimed by a small, concentrated group of users who:
- Do not hold any BAG tokens
- Do not generate profits for the project
- Have no long-term alignment with the success of BAG.WIN
-
This is a critical misallocation of capital. Rewards are flowing to users with zero skin in the game, while real BAG holders and contributors receive no benefit from this expenditure.
-
Unproductive gambling volume: Wearable rewards are creating artificial gambling activity, which not only inflates platform metrics but also results in additional costs from game providers without corresponding revenue.
-
Preserving runway is essential. Cutting these unproductive costs gives us more time to reach profitability without needing additional fundraising or emergency measures.
Summary
This proposal:
- Cuts $16,000/month in unnecessary spending
- Extends runway by 1.23 months
- Eliminates rewards for users with no BAG holdings or value contribution
- Stops subsidizing fake volume that incurs additional provider costs
- Prioritizes long-term sustainability and alignment with real stakeholders
