Briefings
RawVentures proposes an early proposal to convert Ethereum staking rewards into venture capital using futarchy. The mechanism routes a portion of future rewards into an Ethereum venture vault, allowing shareholders to buy portfolio shares that claim returns while their principal remains staked. Investment choices are made via prediction markets where outcomes are settled against declared project results, creating a reputation-based selection system. The proposal estimates 1% of annual staking rewards could supply roughly 10,800 ETH annually, with a snapshot taken on September 17, 2026.
Key points
- RawVentures proposes routing a portion of future Ethereum staking rewards into an Ethereum venture vault to fund projects.
- Investment choices are made through prediction markets where outcomes are settled against declared project results to build a reputation record.
Context and limitations
The proposal is described as an early proposal with specific details like the 1% routing rate and 10,800 ETH estimate based on a September 2026 snapshot. The exact market format and selection rules for the prediction markets remain to be designed. The proposal has not yet been implemented, so the outcomes of funded investments have not been observed.
