Cosmos-sdk: Support for sending funds to the community pool

Created on 16 Oct 2019  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: cosmos/cosmos-sdk

Summary

Would be great if atom holders could fund the community pool directly. For instance, someone may want to fund some kinds of development but leave the decision making to the Gaia stakeholders. They would make a "donation" to the community pool and the governance system could be used to distribute the funds.

Strongly in favor!

Another potentially compelling option is an in-protocol way for validators to commit part of their commission to the community pool - this could then be used by delegators as a way to select validators, especially if staking indices come into play later on as has been proposed.

Allowing funds to be sent to the community pool should be pretty trivial to support. I'm in favor of the feature. I'm moving the issue to the SDK as that's where this would be handled 👍

100% support this idea!
