Appendix 1: Glossary & Key Concepts

  • Public Goods: Resources or services that benefit everyone and cannot be restricted (like clean air, scientific knowledge, or open-source software). They are "non-rivalrous" (one person's use doesn't reduce availability for others) and "non-excludable" (can't prevent people from using it).

  • HyperStructure: A crypto-economic protocol that can run for free and forever, without maintenance, interruption, or intermediaries. Key properties include being unstoppable, free, valuable, and expansive.

  • DeSci (Decentralized Science): Scientific research and funding conducted through decentralized Web3 technologies.

  • Quadratic Funding: A matching mechanism where the matching amount increases with the number of contributors.

  • StreamingQF: A continuous version of quadratic funding where support flows in real-time.

  • Gardens: A decentralized governance framework that enables communities to coordinate around shared resources.

  • CCGF: This framework -- Continuous Convertible Grants Framework.

  • Moloch: A metaphor for coordination failures in society where individual incentives lead to collectively harmful outcomes.

  • Multipolar Coordination Trap: A situation where multiple actors, each acting in their own rational self-interest, create collectively suboptimal outcomes because they cannot effectively coordinate. Examples include:

    • Arms races where nations spend on weapons rather than social goods

    • Environmental degradation where companies pollute to stay competitive

    • Research secrecy where sharing would benefit all but each party holds back

    This is a key challenge that CCGF aims to address through aligned incentives and collaborative mechanisms.

  • DYOR: Do Your Own Research.

  • Slashing: A mechanism to penalize projects for violating rules, typically by reducing their staked tokens.

  • Staking: The act of locking up tokens to support a project or mechanism, typically to earn rewards or influence decision-making.

  • Conviction Voting: A voting system where the weight of a vote decreases over time, encouraging long-term commitment.

  • Treasury: The treasury of the HyperDeSci ecosystem, holding $MEGAPI tokens and other ecosystem tokens.
