# FVPGF ## 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 Duration ``` #### Definitions * **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. {% hint style="info" %} This model gives a simplified view of impact over profit. For deeper analysis, factor in discounting, risk, and any delayed costs or benefits. {% endhint %} 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 Use the official FVPGF address for direct support: * **ENS**: [FVPGF.eth](https://app.ens.domains/fvpgf.eth) * **Ethereum address**: [0x124a816a4E7b078E5ED10949740E64A4b2c56925](https://etherscan.io/address/0x124a816a4E7b078E5ED10949740E64A4b2c56925) {% hint style="success" %} FVPGF.eth is designed to receive donations across EVM-compatible networks that work together through interoperable infrastructure. {% endhint %} ### Creator-based rewards #### General Sales Contract (Base Tier) * **Purpose**: Entry point for all creators. * **KPI**: **$100** in total retroactive funds. * **Marketplace Fee**: Standard **2%** fee. * **Seasonal Retroactive Rewards**: **25% or (1/4)** of marketplace fees collected throughout each season to be redistributed to creators retroactively. * **Progression**: Reach **$100** in retroactive funds to start allocation. * **Allocation Model:** Equalateral distribution of rewards to artists. #### Top Tier Rewards * **Eligibility**: **$1,000** in retroactive funds. * **Fee Redirect**: **25% or (1/4)** of the 2% marketplace fee. * **Rewards Timing**: Paid retroactively at the end of each season. * **Cycle Duration**: 90 days. * **Progression**: Reach **$1,000** in sales to qualify for Tier 2. * **Allocation Model:** Weighted distribution of rewards to artists. ### Reward cycle summary {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Start by generating sales All creators recieve a equal reward from the standard **2%** marketplace fee. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Reach sales milestones Creators move into higher tiers by reaching **$1,000** in retroactive funds. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Receive retroactive rewards Qualified creators receive a share of marketplace fees at the end of each season. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Reiterate each season After each season, creators return to the General Sales Contract and can qualify again based on volume of total rewards generated from the marketplace fee. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} {% hint style="success" icon="recycle" %} “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](https://x.com/VitalikButerin) {% endhint %} {% embed url="" %} 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. ### Related pages * [Contracts & Links](/fveco/contracts-and-links.md) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
