**2018**

- [3125822-004](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-004) [mechanism/asserted] -- The novel element of the architecture is a dynamical evolutionary feedback system that ties an expert's reputation to their proof of ability and productive contributions, verified by validation pools that are generated by public fees sent to the system.
  > properly incentivizes productive cooperation by tying an expert's reputation to their proof of ability and productive contributions as verified by validation pools generated by public fees sent to the system.

- [3125822-005](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-005) [mechanism/asserted] -- When a fee bearing evidence of work post enters the platform, half the newly minted sem tokens are staked in the poster's name as an upvote bet and the other half are staked against the post and left unassigned, so the poster's only direct reward for off-platform work is a contested stake.
  > Half the new sem tokens are staked in the poster's name as a bet that the work done is accurate and improves the expertise (this stake is their only direct reward for the off-platform work). The other half of the newly minted sem tokens are staked against the post, and left unassigned.

- [3266953-023](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3266953-023) [mechanism/asserted] -- A successful Semada block producer wins half of the newly minted reputation tokens for a block while the remaining members share the other half for policing the block in the validation pool.
  > they win the lottery of half of a great deal of new reputation tokens if they are chosen while the rest of the members share the other half of newly minted reputation tokens for policing the block in the validation pool.

**2021**

- [3931933-022](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3931933-022) [mechanism/asserted] -- Shasper governance is funded in a hardcoded way: each validator that succeeds in propagating a block allocates a fixed percentage of its block reward, denominated in SHAS, into a separate SDAO wallet, in addition to the ordinary Casper PoS allocation.
  > However, in addition to the Casper PoS Consensus algorithm allocation, each validator who succeeds in propagating a block allocates [__]% of the block reward, denominated in SHAS, into a separate SDAO wallet.

- [3931933-023](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3931933-023) [mechanism/asserted] -- The same percentage of the block reward that funds the SDAO wallet also mints reputation in the SDAO for the propagating validator, with both the minting and the sharing of the pooled tokens following the DEVxDAO MVPR protocol.
  > That [__]% of the block reward in SHAS token also mints reputation in the SDAO for said validator. The reputation minting process follows the DEVxDAO MVPR protocol and the SHAS token that are allocated to the SDAO are shared among the SDAO members following the DEVxDAO MVPR protocol.

- [3962614-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3962614-037) [design/argued] -- A better system emphasizes reputation by prohibiting capital investment into portfolio companies after an initial minting of reputation in proportion to incoming capital.
  > A better system would avoid this scenario by emphasizing the reputation in the system by prohibiting capital investment into portfolio companies after an initial minting of reputation in proportion to incoming capital.

- [3981021-039](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3981021-039) [design/asserted] -- Under Type 1 onboarding the DAO treasury matches the assets the candidate raised, and the value of those raised assets is used to mint reputation under the DEVxDAO MVPR at a ratio of one thousand dollars per reputation unit.
  > a. The treasury of the CHARITYxDAO will match the assets the candidate raised b. The value of the assets they raised will be used for the minting of reputation under the DEVxDAO MVPR with a minting ratio of $1000/Rep1
