FVPGF
Retroactive funding for artists
Fractal Visions Public Goods Fund
FVPGF supports retroactive public goods funding across the Fractal Visions ecosystem.
The mechanics
Primary funding source: Standard 2% marketplace fee
Redirect to FVPGF: 0.5% - or one quarter of the 2% fee
Distribution model: Retroactive rewards for creators, developers, and active ecosystem contributors
Core objective: Support network growth, exploration, and long-term creator participation
Proof of impact
Use this formula as a starting point for evaluating retroactive work.
Proof of Impact = (Retroactive Work Benefits - Retroactive Work Costs) / Project DurationDefinitions
Retroactive Work Benefits: Financial gains created by the work. This can include increased sales, cost savings, improved efficiency, or other measurable gains directly attributable to the retroactive work.
Retroactive Work Costs: Direct expenses tied to the work. This can include labor, materials, equipment, and related operating costs.
Project Duration: The time needed to complete the work and begin realizing value. This can be measured in days, weeks, months, or years, depending on project scope.
This model gives a simplified view of impact over profit. For deeper analysis, factor in discounting, risk, and any delayed costs or benefits.
Benefits and costs vary by project. Define those metrics around the goals of the work being funded.
For more complex projects, financial review may be necessary to support accurate calculations and better decision-making.
Mission statement
Our goal is to onboard both old and new users into the public goods ecosystem.
We do this by reinforcing the ethos of public goods and applying a retroactive public goods funding mechanism within the ecosystem.
How the fund works ?
There is a standard 2% marketplace fee. This is the main funding source for retroactive rewards for creators and developers.
0.5% - or one quarter of the 2% fee - is directed to FVPGF.eth.
FVPGF.eth is a standard EVM address that can receive donations across multiple networks.
These funds are distributed periodically to active projects that contribute to the overall growth of the Ethereum network.
Marketplace fees returned through FVPGF create value for users and builders. That value helps attract new creators to the Fractal Visions intellectual property launchpad.
Each cycle builds on previous work as the creators of the Fractal Visions expand across additional networks over time. Generating passive income from their art on the superchain.
Funding address

ENS: FVPGF.eth
Ethereum address: 0x124a816a4E7b078E5ED10949740E64A4b2c56925
FVPGF.eth is designed to receive donations across EVM-compatible networks that work together through interoperable infrastructure.

Reward cycle summary
“The core principle behind the concept of retroactive public goods funding is simple: it’s easier to agree on what was useful than what will be useful.” - Vitalik Buterin
Retroactive Funding for artists on Fractal Visions NFT marketplace is a novel approach towards creating demand for block space. Finding ourselves inspired by the concept we decided to integrate the retroactive rewards in our own style of capturing fees to give back to people who contribute to on chain activity.
