Appendix 3: HyperStructure Properties

CCGF aims to become a true HyperStructure for public goods funding. Let's analyze its current properties and areas for improvement:

Current HyperStructure Properties

1. Unstoppable

   • Conviction voting ensures permissionless operation

   • Gardens framework provides decentralized governance

   • No central admin keys or pause functions

2. Free (or very low cost)

   • Only gas costs for interactions

   • No platform fees or administrative overhead

   • Minimal economic barriers to participation

3. Valuable

   • Treasury growth tied to ecosystem success

   • Value capture through token mechanics

   • Network effects from project collaboration

4. Expansive

   • Multiple funding experiments possible

   • Community-driven parameter adjustment

   • Cross-project pollination built-in

Areas for Further Development

1. Credible Neutrality

   • Current: Basic slashing mechanisms

   • Future: More robust anti-gaming systems

   • Goal: Fully autonomous eligibility verification

2. Perpetual Operation

   • Current: Relies on community maintenance

   • Future: More automated treasury management, maybe even with AI

   • Goal: Self-sustaining economic model

These improvements will be developed through community governance and experimental funding mechanisms, moving CCGF closer to its ideal form as a true HyperStructure.
