:bust_in_silhouette::moneybag: Contributor time based incentives are a great way for a disbursement process to:

  1. Reduce budgeting complexity
  2. Reduce voter decision complexity
  3. Reduce governance complexity
  4. Reduce game theory risks

:moneybag::arrow_right::bust_in_silhouette: The majority of incentives disbursed in Web3 ecosystems go towards compensating contributors for their execution efforts. The complexity and risks around budgeting and handling incentives increases as the incentive gets moved further away from the contributors that will be receiving them.
