i just watched the AMA. It's been described that the payment distribution will change from a % of returns to a 'payment pool' that will be distributed. How will you determine the size of the pool?
To answer your question quite directly: Nothing guarantees the pool size
The pool is discretionary and will be announced each month. This is actually good because it means we will allocate a pool every month and absorb the risk in the business of months where the fund doesn't perform well, for example.
It's important to recognise that our tokens do not represent an interest in a fund, they are proof-of-stake tokens that underpin our entire ecosystem. Our fund is just the first of many that will pay SHP holders to access their predictions. As we increase the number of funds and institutions that are prepared to pay for this data, we expect the size of the payment pool to grow.
