[FumaSage]

Applicant Information:

Name: FumaSage Contact Email: fumasage76@gmail.com Project Overview:

Having actively contributed to the development of FIP-1proposed by Dr. ZS, I propose to write a series of articles to disseminate this innovative treasury mechanism to the crypto community. The articles will provide detailed explanations of what FIP-1 proposes, how it operates, its benefits, and its potential impact on the blockchain ecosystem.

Objectives:

Education: To provide clear and comprehensive insights into the FIP-1 mechanism for both technical and non-technical audiences. Awareness: To increase visibility and understanding of FIP-1 within the crypto community. Engagement: To stimulate discussion and interest around FIP-1, encouraging community involvement and feedback.

Methodology:

Article Series: I will create a series of well-structured articles, each focusing on different aspects of FIP-1, including its technical foundation, practical applications, and benefits over existing mechanisms. Research and Analysis: Each article will present a unique aspect of the proposed mechanism. Publication and Distribution: The articles will be published on prominent crypto platforms, forums, and social media channels to maximize reach and engagement. Feedback Integration: Reader feedback and questions will be addressed in subsequent articles.

Deliverables:

Number of Articles: A series of 7 articles. Length: Each article will be approximately 800 words. Timeline: Articles will be delivered biweekly over a period of 4 months.

Budget:

Amount Requested: $190 USD per article. Total Project Cost: $1330 USD for 7 articles. Payment Terms: Payment to be made upon the completion and approval of each article.

Justification:

The requested funding compensates for the time spent on research, writing, editing, and dissemination of each article. It ensures a professional standard of work that effectively communicates the value of FIP-1 to the target audience.

Conclusion:

Fushuma will benefit from increased awareness and understanding of FIP-1, leading to greater adoption and support within the crypto community and familiarizing users with the new treasury management mechanism.

I am committed to delivering high-quality content that reflects the innovation and significance of FIP-1.

Thank you for considering my proposal. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to Fushuma's mission.

Sincerely,

FumaSage

Hello @FumaSage, thanks for opening this grant proposal.

It makes sense to have you write the articles, given your contribution to FIP 1. Could you share a bit more about your plan? Seven articles might be a lot, and perhaps we could condense some topics for a stronger impact.

Also, please tell us on what crypto platforms and forums you plan to share them?

Looking forward to your answer.

Hi @spatialiste,

Thank you for your prompt answer!

I believe a seven-article series allows to explore different aspects of FIP-1 in a simple manner, so both technical and non-technical can first understand it so that they can interact with the smart contract when it will be developed. However, I'm open to condensing the content if it enhances impact.

For distribution, I plan to publish on reddit and bitcointalk if you think its appropriate.

I think if the articles will be shared through Fushuma social media channels the reach and engagement will be maximized.

Also I already started working on the draft version of the article and post it below. Any feedback is more than welcome. I plan to make also an image for blogpost through AI platforms if it is ok.

Introduction to Blockchain Financing and the Need for Innovation

Blockchain technology has fundamentally altered the way we view decentralization, security, and transparency. It has opened up new possibilities, from decentralized finance to secure, trustless systems, and beyond. However, while the technology holds great promise, ensuring sustainable and equitable funding for blockchain-based projects remains a challenge.

Over the last decade, we have witnessed a host of failed initiatives, with more than $1 billion lost in attempts to launch and sustain projects. The very decentralization that is the cornerstone of blockchain is often compromised in its funding mechanisms, especially when Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and other traditional models are employed. While ICOs provided a fast means of securing capital, they also introduced significant risks. Many projects have suffered from a lack of transparency, mismanagement of funds, and centralization of tokens in the hands of a few key players, undermining the principles of decentralization that blockchain promises to uphold. A major shortcoming in many current funding models lies in their inability to ensure long-term support and decentralised control. Many projects suffer from token price volatility, early sell-offs by large holders, and the absence of proper mechanisms to encourage sustained investment. This often results in early collapses or market manipulation, leaving small investors vulnerable. Additionally, the centralization of power and influence in the hands of a few erodes the very trust that these projects are supposed to build.

To address these issues, there is an urgent need for innovation. The solution must go beyond simply raising capital; it needs to address fundamental concerns, such as incentivizing long-term participation, providing liquidity while minimizing risk, and ensuring that the financial system remains transparent, decentralized, and fair. A new mechanism should provide:

• Decentralization of control: No single entity or group should wield disproportionate power over the system, maintaining the foundational principles of blockchain.
• Transparency and trust: Participants should be able to verify all transactions and decision-making processes through immutable records, ensuring trust throughout the lifecycle of the project.
• Incentives for long-term investment: Short-term speculative behavior must be discouraged. The system should reward patience and long-term commitment from stakeholders.
• Market stability: Prices should adjust in a controlled manner, ensuring that tokens are not subject to extreme volatility, which often scares away potential investors and disrupts the project’s progress.
• Fair pricing mechanisms: The pricing of tokens should be determined in a way that reflects the project’s health and available reserves, discouraging early sell-offs and encouraging the steady growth of the project’s ecosystem.

• This article serves as the starting point of a broader conversation around the future of blockchain financing and the systems needed to ensure sustainable growth. It outlines the key problems that any new mechanism must solve and sets the stage for the exploration of innovative solutions that can reshape how projects are funded in this space. These solutions must align with the ethos of decentralization, fairness, and long-term viability if we are to see blockchain realize its full potential.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Best regards, FumaSage

Hello @FumaSage, OK, I like that you have a plan, so let's get it started, and we will adjust it on the go.

• Reddit and Bitcointalk sound great, and yes, we will share the articles on the Fushuma blog and socials.
• OK for the picture via AI, please just make sure that it follow these guidelines:
  • Style: Japanese old style— clean, and 2D. Technical representations are to be avoided, and symbolism is appreciated
  • Color Palette: Use shades of beiges, browns, reds, and blacks. Other colors should be subtle.
  • Composition: Harmonious, without excessive detail.
  • Logo Space: Reserve space at the bottom right for the Fushuma logo.

I like the structure of the article, but I guess that some adjustments could be necessary. Could you please create a Google doc, @Dr-ZS and me will request access so that we can help if needed.

Thank you. Best regards.
