In the curation market for subgraphs, Curators stake a deposit Graph Tokens to receive Subgraph Tokens which entitle the Curator to a share of the curation rewards for that particular subgraph.
In order to reward early Curators of a subgraph, the first Graph Tokens staked for a subgraph will receive a proportionally greater share of the curator rewards than later Graph Tokens which are staked.
The function which relates the marginal share of the curator reward received for each new Graph Token staked is a "bonding curve".
We must select the mathematical function, and any parameters for that function which will be set via governance, to act as our bonding curve.
It should encourage behavior in Curators that maximizes their incentive to produce a good signal to the network as to which subgraphs will be valuable in the future.
