EOS Worker Proposal System Announcement

Core WPS Working Group

August, 2018

Summary

The Core WPS Working Group was formed to execute on the vision for a Worker Proposal System (WPS) as outlined initially in the EOS.IO White Paper. Comprised of members of the EOS community, the working group has been voluntarily building out both the process and software (WPS smart contract and WebApp) necessary to execute on this core functionality in order to pave the way for a stronger, self-sustaining ecosystem.

We have incorporated features based on the massive amount of feedback and concerns provided by the community. It was far from simple to design a governable, decentralized system that supports those who are willing to innovate for the community, while managing to prevent non-legitimate projects and frauds from stealing from the network. Thanks to the discussions and hard work of the community, we believe that the Worker Proposal System is now much closer to this goal. As for any system, it will never be perfect. However, it is clear that the WPS has the potential to become a unique initiative governed by the community that powers the growth and success of the EOS ecosystem as a whole.

This document will also recapitulate the need for the WPS, address some concerns, and present the proposal for the initial phase to allow critical community projects to move forward.

We expect to have both the process and the software in full to present to the community by October 2018. In the meantime, an interim proposal, along with an initial version of the WPS platform, has been developed to support these crucial, community-driven programs that require immediate funding.

In addition, we will be holding community discussions for the next 2 weeks (until the end of August) and then putting forth a proposal for referendum as soon as the referendum contract is ready for use. This will include the proposal to approve the WPS Emergency Category Plan and the Worker Proposal System itself to approve several budgeted projects deemed to be critically urgent.

Please direct any questions to the WPS telegram channel (https://t.me/eosio_wps).

摘要

成立了核心工作小组，以执行最初在EOS.IO白皮书中概述WPS的愿景。该工作组由EOS社区的成员组成，一直在自愿地构建流程和软件(WPS smart contract和WebApp)，以执行这一核心功能，以便为一个更强大、自我维持的生态系统铺平道路。

基于社区提供的大量反馈和关注，我们整合了许多功能。设计一个可管理的、去中心化的系统，支持那些愿意为社区创新的人，同时设法防止不合法的项目和欺诈从网络中窃取，这绝非易事。由于社区的讨论和努力工作，我们相信现在WPS更接近这个目标。对于任何一个系统来说，它都不会是完美的。然而，显而易见的是，WPS有潜力成为一个由推动整个EOS生态系统成长和成功的社区管理的独特方案。

这份文件还将概括说明WPS的必要性，解决一些问题，并提出初步阶段的建议，以使社区的关键项目向前推进。

我们希望在2018年10月之前将整个过程和软件全部呈现给社区。目前为止，一项临时提议以及WPS平台的初始版本，已经被开发出来，以支持这些关键的、社区驱动的项目，这些项目需要立即获得资金。

此外，我们将在未来两周(至8月底)举行社区讨论，一旦全民公投的合约准备就绪，我们就会提出全民公投的建议。这将包括批准WPS紧急类别计划的提案，以及批准几个被认为极为紧迫的WPS项目预算。

有任何问题，请移步到WPS电报群(https://t.me/eosio_wps)讨论。

Background

Pursuant to a blockchain based on the EOS.IO software, token holders can elect a number of Worker Proposals designed to benefit the community. [...] The system contracts that implement Worker Proposals may not be in place at initial launch in June 2018, but the funding mechanism will. It will begin to accumulate funds at the same time block producer awards start. Since the Worker Proposal System will be implemented in WASM it can be added at a later date without a fork.

EOS.IO Technical Whitepaper

EOS.IO is an operating system created for business on the blockchain. All software in its first release has bugs, requires patches, and requires ongoing strategic development. Who will be responsible for providing support for the maintenance of this operating system? How do we add on new features as desired by the community?

Currently, the community relies heavily on the block producers. They are an incredible group who has taken on more than intended, and they should be allowed to focus on producing blocks securely. Similarly, there are many volunteers working away to build this grand venture, but voluntary support on its own is not sustainable for the long-term health of an enterprise decentralized platform. Block.one gave us an admirable beta release. Now, for the EOS Mainnet to reach its full potential, we must fully utilize the power of the larger community. Block.one promised a number of key features that have not come to fruition yet and we, the EOS community, need to take responsibility for them. These include: properly funded core arbitration, account key recovery, IPFS-based storage, referenda tools, clear UX, and a functioning Worker Proposal System, to name a few.

The Core WPS Working Group is working to build a set of tools and a proposed set of rules and guidelines to be utilized towards this goal. By using a portion of the inflation to support necessary projects, we can improve the utility of EOS and its overall adoption. Therefore, we appeal to every member of the EOS community to support the Worker Proposal System, and together help allocate these funds to further accelerate the growth of the EOS blockchain.

背景

根据基于EOS.IO软件的区块链，token持有人可以考虑选择一些WP有益社区的设计… 实施WP的系统合约可能不会在2018年6月启动时到位，但资金机制会。积累资金的同时，让BP开始收到奖励。由于工人提案系统将在WASM中实现，所以以后添加不需分叉。

EOS.IO技术白皮书

EOS.IO是为区块链上业务创建的操作系统。第一个版本中的所有软件都有bug，需要补丁，需要持续的战略开发。谁将为这个操作系统的维护提供支持?我们如何根据社区的需要添加新特性?

目前，社区严重依赖于BP。他们是由一群难以置信的团队组成的，承担了比预期更多的工作，他们应该被允许专注于安全地出块。同样，也有许多志愿者在为建立这个大型社会实践付出努力，但这样基于自愿地去支持去中心化的企业平台，对于长期健康的发展是不可持续的。 Block.one给了我们一个出色的beta版本。现在，为了使EOS主网充分发挥其潜力，我们必须充分利用更大的社区力量。 Block.one 承诺了一些尚未实现的关键特性，而我们作为EOS社区的成员需要对此负责。其中包括:资金充足的核心仲裁、帐户密钥恢复、基于IPFS的存储、提交工具、和一个正常运行的WPS系统。

WPS核心工作组正在努力建立一套工具和一套规则和准则的提案，以实现这一目标。通过使用部分增发来支持必要的项目，从而提高EOS的整体效用。因此，我们呼吁EOS社区的每一个成员支持WPS，使这些资金能去到恰当的地方，进一步加速EOS的发展。

Why do we need WPS?

EOS.IO has several improvements to be made and some features are still missing. However, due to the decentralized nature of EOS, there are not enough incentives for individual community developers to spend their time contributing patches and upgrades needed for efficient and scalable advancements. To ensure that EOS.IO keeps up with the changing needs of the community, a Worker Proposal System was introduced in the initial design of the software. This would allow for an allocation of funds to be reserved that could incentivize developers to work on community needs, critical patches, and forward-looking upgrades. This allows the system to fully utilize the strengths of a decentralized community going forward, reducing the reliance on a single source for these new additions. Block.one has given the world a great starting point for the tool, and the Worker Proposal System will allow the community to nurture and grow that tool.

我们为什么需要WPS?

EOS.IO有一些需要改进的地方，一些功能仍然缺失。然而，由于EOS去中心化的特性，对于单个社区开发人员来说，没有足够的激励来花费他们的时间为高效和可扩展的升级贡献补丁和升级，来确保EOS.IO紧跟社区不断变化的需求，在软件的初始设计中引入了WPS。这将允许预留一笔资金，以鼓励开发人员致力于社区需求、关键补丁和前瞻性的升级。这使系统能够充分利用去中心化的社区优势，减少对单一来源的依赖。 Block.one已经为开启世界提供了一个伟大的工具，WPS将会为社区培育和发展这个工具。

Plan

September/October - Execution of the First Referendum

The first referendum allows the community to authorize the following actions:

1.An amount of 1 million EOS tokens is transferred from the eosio.saving account to a new account, eosio.wps. This fixed amount can only be used for the purposes of what is initially proposed. No one party or individual will have control over these funds. The program is designed in a way that anyone in the community can participate and help decide where these funds are to be allocated. The breakdown of the usage of this amount can be seen in a related article about budgets. This funding is to last for six months, or until the Emergency Committee is dissolved.

2.The Emergency Category is established along with the Emergency Committee. The Emergency Committee only exists in order to help review and prevent non-legitimate proposals and frauds from going on vote. This category is based on urgent needs rather than a specific type of project. This is the only category included in the first referendum but it will be used to help launch other categories.

3.From this fund, budgets included in the initial referendum will be allocated to support the EOS.IO Core Arbitration Forum (ECAF) （https://eoscorearbitration.io）for six months, EOS Mainnet code repository（https://github.com/eos-mainnet） management, the Mainnet security testing, and further development of the Worker Proposal Portal.

计划

9月/ 10月-第一次全民公投的执行

第一次全民公投允许共同体授权采取下列行动:

1，从eosio.saving储蓄帐户转移了100万个EOS token到一个新的eosio.wps帐户，这一固定数额只能用于最初的提案。任何一方或个人都不能控制这些资金。该项目的设计方式是，社区中的任何人都可以参与，并决定将这些资金分配到何处。在一篇关于预算的相关文章中可以看到这个金额的使用情况。这笔资金将持续存在6个月，或者直到应急委员会解散。

2，紧急情况类别是由应急委员会一起确定的。应急委员会的存在只是为了帮助审查和防止不合法的提案和欺诈行为进行投票。这个类别是基于紧急需求而不是特定类型的项目。这是第一次公投中唯一包含的类别，但它将被用来帮助推出其他类别。

3，从这一基金中，将拨出列入第一次全民公投的预算，以支助EOS.IO核心仲裁论坛(ECAF)（https://eoscorearbitration.io）为期6个月的资金支持、EOS Mainnet（https://github.com/eos-mainnet）代码存储库管理、Mainnet安全测试，以及进一步开发Worker提案门户。

November/December - A Governance Competition

The Emergency Committee announces a competition for governance design of each category of works. This concept is to allow for experimentation with governance without risk to the entire system.

11月/ 12月-治理竞赛

应急委员会宣布为每类工作的治理设计比赛。这个概念允许对整个系统进行无风险的治理试验。

January-March - Categories are Voted For

Referendums for each category, along with a party responsible for overseeing it, will be held within the community. As each category is voted for, the category in question becomes active, and proposals that fall under that category can be submitted. There will me a cap on the amount of funds that can be allocated within each category, in order to ensure fairness across different categories and limit potential abuse and/or waste. Furthermore, there will always be a portion of the worker proposal fund remaining, allowing room for future growth and a safety net in case of an emergency need of community funds, if and when token holders decide on it. When the category goes live, the Emergency Committee surrenders control over relevant proposals. Over time, the Emergency Committee ceases to exist as its duties are absorbed.

1月到3月——分类投票

每个类别的全民公投以及一个监督负责方将在社区内举行。当每个类别可以开始投票，这个话题就会变得活跃起来，属于该类别的提案就可以提交。每个类别中可分配的资金数量被设定上限，以确保不同类别之间的公平，并限制潜在的滥用和/或浪费的情况。此外，总会有一部分WP基金剩余下来，为未来的增长留有空间，并在需要社区资金的紧急情况下建立一个安全网，以备token持有人作出决定。当这一类别开始启动时，应急委员会将交出对相关提议的控制权。随着时间的推移，应急委员会不再存在，因为它的职责已经被接管了。

Proposed Categories

Oversight

This category is for WPS portal maintenance, quality control and oversight of other categories. They also help validate the vote tallies on the databases as well as supporting any proposals that go through direct referendum instead of applying to one of the categories.

Infrastructure

This category is for supporting the underlying code base of the blockchain. This includes security audits, DDOS protection, bug patches and mainnet repository maintenance.

Community

Fund Approval Process

Addressing Concerns

We would like to address four major concerns:

Whales will vote for personal interests.
$400M/year is too much money until proven useful, 4% is too high of inflation.
A new centralized group will be ineffective and waste money.
Block Producers or Block.one can pay for these projects instead of WPS.

解决问题

我们要解决四个主要问题:

巨鲸会为个人利益投票。
在证明有用之前，4亿美元/年，也就是4%是过高的增发。
一个新的中心化集团将是无效的和浪费金钱。
BP或Block.one（而不是WPS）可以为这些项目付费。

Whales will vote for personal interests.

Large stakeholders will vote for personal gain, this is inevitable. This is the same challenge that we face for block producer elections. Nevertheless, as a decentralized Worker Proposal System, the design must still ensure that anyone can be part of the process. The community would not want to block the next great idea because it comes from an unexpected source— in fact, the existence of whales should not prevent the endeavour of designing a sensible worker proposal system. Therefore, in order to prevent fraud, there will be a reviewer system in place; the reviewers responsible for each category will help discern clearly non-legitimate proposals, solely based on an objective and public “proposal checklist”.

巨鲸会为个人利益投票

大的利益相关者会为个人利益投票，这是不可避免的。这同样是我们在BP选举中面临的挑战。尽管如此，作为一个去中心化的WPS，设计仍然必须确保任何人都可以成为过程的一部分。社区不想阻止下一个伟大的想法，因为它来自一个意想不到的来源——事实上，巨鲸的存在不应该成为阻止设计一个合理的WPS的因素。因此，为了防止欺诈，会有一个审查系统存在；负责每个类别的评审员将根据客观和公开的“提案清单”，帮助明确地辨别不合法的提案。

$400M per year is too much money until proven useful, 4% is too high.

The goal of the Worker Proposal System should be to spend wisely in ways that benefit and enrich the whole community. There is no need to spend it all. In fact, our first proposal for referendum is to move only a small, fixed amount from the eos.saving account to the worker proposal account (eosio.wps). This will be less than 20% of the eosio.saving account. In the future, the community may even suggest a proposal for burning surplus funds in the eosio.saving account. We are proposing to start the WPS system with a very contained and risk-reduced environment.

在被证明有用之前，每年4亿美元（4%）的资金过多了

WPS的目标应该是明智地支出，使整个社区受益，并从中受益。没有必要花光所有的钱。事实上，我们关于公投的第一个提议只是从eos.saving中移出一小部分固定的金额到WPS帐户(eosio.wps)，这将小于eos.saving储蓄账户的20%。在未来，社区甚至可能会建议在eosio中销毁掉eosio.saving账户中的盈余资金。我们建议在一个非常包容和降低风险的环境下启动WPS系统。

A new centralized group will be ineffective and waste money.

With the current design of the Worker Proposal System, no centralized party has control over the funds. As it is programed, the eosio.wps account is community owned, meaning that those funds can’t be accessed without proposal reviews and votes. The main purpose of the Emergency Committee, and other categories in the future, is to remove malicious proposals from being passed on to the community. It is to manage the input of ideas and defer projects that do not fit clear public criteria.

一个新的中心化组织将是无效的和浪费金钱的

在现行的WPS设计中，没有中心化的一方可以控制资金。当它被设计时，eosio.wps账户属于社区所有，这意味着如果没有提案审查和投票，这些资金就无法使用。应急委员会的主要目的，以及未来的其他类别，是让恶意提案防止流入社区。它是管理想法的输入和延迟不符合明确公共标准的项目。

Block producers or Block.one can pay for these projects instead of WPS.

Block producers and other groups such as Block.one will continue to produce exemplary work for the community. Companies can be very efficient in developing resources. However, a community-managed fund can support projects that are not a priority for block producers or private companies. For example, who will fund the management of the github repository with indifference? Who will support the arbitration forum (ECAF)? These projects add value to the community as a whole, but are not profitable on their own. No independent business would fund these vital projects, as there would be little to no ROI, nor should some of these endeavours be built with the need for a return.

We believe that most people support a worker proposal fund; it is the control of a large amount of money that concerns them. That is why we believe in a conservative approach to designing the system, with only a small amount of funds to be available to begin with.

BP或Block.one可以为这些项目而不是让WPS付费

BP和其他组织如Block.one，会继续为社会作出模范的工作。公司可以非常有效地开发资源。然而，一个由社区管理的基金可以支持那些不是BP或私人公司优先考虑的项目。例如，谁会漠不关心地资助github存储库的管理？谁将支持仲裁论坛？这些项目为整个社区增加了价值，但它们本身并不盈利。没有独立的企业会为这些重要的项目提供资金，因为几乎没有或根本没有ROI（译者注：投资回报率），而且这些努力中也不应该有回报的需求。

我们认为，大多数人支持WP基金：他们关心的是大量金钱的控制权。这就是为什么我们相信用保守的方法来设计系统，也就是一开始只有少量的资金可用。

Support a Place to Fund Innovation

Since the introduction of the worker proposal system in the EOS.IO whitepaper, WPS has been a symbolic pledge for a blockchain that funds innovation that fuels the growth of the ecosystem. We call for participation in the EOS community, to come together and support the launch of a Worker Proposal System. Progress demands forging into the unknown and here we stand before the dawn of WPS!

为创新提供资金支持

自从EOS引入WPS以来，WPS是区块链的象征性承诺，旨在为推动生态系统增长的创新而提供资金。我们呼吁EOS社区的参与，共同支持启动WPS。这个进程将引导我们走向未知，而我们正站在WPS的黎明前！
