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.
