Supporting this project will fund research and publication on Index Wallets, focusing on economic modeling for public goods, wealth distribution, and voluntary taxation mechanisms.

Index Wallets are a promising crypto economic mechanism that enable:

  1. Funding for public goods
  2. Wealth equalizing dynamics
  3. Voluntary taxation

To read about Index Wallets in detail, please see https://coda.io/@connor/index

Support for this grant will fund further research and the publication of Index Wallets II, which will:

  1. Extend the game-theoretic analysis beyond worst-case assumptions (e.g. to average case)
  2. Explore voluntary taxation and its relationship with public goods more rigorously
  3. Consider in detail the many questions enumerated at the end of the article

This project has participated in the prior 2 grant funding rounds, but hasn't yet raised sufficient funds to engage a firm to perform economic modeling and publish the results. When that threshold is reached we'll continue.
