There is in discussion a proposal created by @dnkta.eth for increasing Single Side Staking and including an Airdrop to further encourage participation in Governance. You can read the discussion in:

> Dear Community Members, Currently there is a proposal for discussion regarding Operating Expenditures Treasury Transfers for Q4]: [https://forum.cryptex.finance/t/2023-operating-expenditures-treasury-transfers-for-q4/](https://forum.cryptex.finance/t/2023-operating-expenditures-treasury-transfers-for-q4/) Core contributors are requesting 229,000 CTX for operating expenditures for Q4. Single Sided Staking has been topped up with 12’600 CTX every 3 months for the past year. The purpose of a protocol token is to align the incentives of developers, investors and users. My job as a …

The goal of this thread is to discuss a few ideas on how to distribute these funds in a way that further increases decentralization and encourages more governance participation. **The proposed amount is 50k CTX**. Here are some suggestions:

- Snapshot should be a few weeks before the initial discussion.
- Airdrop should target both keepers and delegators.
- Airdrop should be calculated based on participation in governance (Snapshot and Onchain).
- Single Side Stakers should be included as delegators.
- Delegators Airdrop should be calculated based on the participation in governance of the Keeper.

The rewards could be calculated based on time or based on governance participation + a bonus for time. If I had to pick I would choose based on governance participation only, as it encourages staking and making decisions based on who is a more active Keeper.

Another nice to have would be a bonus for the users that delegated to minority Keepers with at least X amount of CTX. To encourage the participation of new Keepers.

The idea about a bonus for the users that delegated to minority keepers is really cool. We need to encourage the participation of new delegates.

I created a snapshot vote to decide on the airdrop amount:
