NetOps WG · Stand up a subsidy-administration entity with transparency reporting

Once the Foundation stops administering subsidy payouts, a community body must take over: computing uptime-adjusted payments, distributing them, and reporting transparently each month.

Deliverables

• Assign subsidy administration to a WG / Authorized Signers.
• Compute each validator's monthly payment from ledger data, adjusted for uptime and stake weight; the RFC sets stake weight by assuming every validator charges a 15% fee.
• Publish monthly transparency reports.
• Allocate a small admin stipend (amount via proposal).

Dependencies & cross-references

• Governed by the framework the DAO ratified on 2 October 2026, held in RadixDAO/governance-framework; Daffy's Shadaffy/radix-dao is the reference library of earlier drafts. See the Governance Framework Reference Repo and Charter (Round 1) RFCs.
• Executes the outcome of the subsidy decision.
• Pays via the treasury multisig.
