Each Dev Fund slice has a Funding Target, initially US $700,000 for each
|
||||
slice. At the end of each calendar month, the fair market value of the Dev
|
||||
Fund ZEC received during that month will be computed, and the excess over
|
||||
the Funding Target will be put into a dedicated Volatility Reserve account
|
||||
by the funds' recipient.
|

the Funding Target will be deposited into a dedicated Volatility Reserve
|
||||
account by the funds' recipient.
|

|
||||
Each slice has its own separate Volatility reserve account, owned and
|
||||
managed by the recipient (ECC or ZF), but limited in how it may be used
|
||||
(i.e., analogously to some types of retirement or trust accounts).
|
||||
Funds may be withdrawn from the Volatility Reserve account only by that same
|
||||
party, in months where the aforementioned monthly ZEC value falls short of
|

the Funding Target, and only to the extent needed to cover that shortfall.

Note that grantees of Major Grants are not directly subject to the Funding
|
||||
Target, and do not have to manage a Volatility Reserve account; this is
|
||||
addressed upstream by the Zcash Foundation, which awards these grants. The
|
||||
hope is that the Foundation-managed ZF-MG Volatility Reserve will ultimately
|
||||
form a large long-term "endowment" pool that cushions the volatility for the
|
||||
various grantees, so grantees can focus on their work instead of hedging
|
||||
short-term price risks.

|

Irrevocable obligations to the above must be made by the recipients (e.g.,

||||
using their Operating Agreements or by receiving the slice as Restricted

Funds).
