Shared ownership of smart contracts

Anons. I have a dream. Imagine. Picture it. See it within you. Shared ownership of smart contracts. Each smart contract deployed on the NoM or any extension chain can be auctioned and sold for ZNN to multiple buyers who then own it collectively, sharing possible revenue and governance, much like Pillars now do with the NoM. ZNN used to buy would be burned or returned to A.Z. Imagine the infinite layers of market anons. Imagine leverage trading shares of smart contracts anons. Imagine the narrative and all the ways we’d be different for both Bitcoin, ETH or any other chains anons.

Imagine. Discuss.

Interesting concept. Is this available today on other chains? I googled around and did not find much.

I have no idea but it might open many interesting DeFi legos for us and new community to join.

Interesting idea. If contract deploying would automatically issue an NFT which would receive part of the fees generated by the usage of the contract, it could accomplish what you’ve described.

An economic usecase that I didn’t emphasis is that ZNN become de facto the governance currency of every single project built on the NoM. The implication are tremendous. Project creators still make money selling their onchain software IPO style (let’s call it Initial Smart Contract Offering), then we own it. The system forces them to create tokens with actual utility - even just memes - they can MM the same way they used to. But ZNN remains King of the ecosystem with governance rights on the smart contracts. No more BS governance shitcoins.

The idea proposed in the forum post revolves around the concept of shared ownership of smart contracts on the Zenon Network Model (NoM) or any extension chain. Here are the benefits of such an idea:

  1. Collective Ownership: Smart contracts can be auctioned and sold to multiple buyers, allowing for collective ownership.
  2. Revenue and Governance Sharing: Multiple owners can share potential revenue and participate in governance.
  3. Token Burn or Return: ZNN tokens used for purchasing shared ownership can be burned or returned, impacting token economics.
  4. Market Expansion: Introduction of infinite layers of markets and potential for leverage trading.
  5. Economic Usecase: ZNN becomes the primary governance currency for all projects on the NoM.
  6. Economic Stimulation: Buying shares in smart contracts can stimulate economic activity and increase liquidity.
  7. Asset Diversification: Stakeholders can diversify investments by owning shares in multiple smart contracts.

Innovation and Development:

  1. Distinctive Narrative: Differentiates Zenon from other major blockchain networks.
  2. Diverse Input and Innovation: Multiple owners bring diverse perspectives, leading to innovative solutions.
  3. Feedback and Iteration: Continuous feedback from stakeholders leads to iterative improvements.
  4. Holistic Development: Diverse stakeholder inputs lead to comprehensive smart contract development.

Governance and Community Building:

  1. Initial Smart Contract Offering (ISCO): Monetization of on-chain software in an IPO style.
  2. Dynamic Governance Models: Creation of evolving decision-making processes based on feedback.
  3. Community Building: Fosters a strong community around the smart contract.
  4. Stakeholder Accountability: All stakeholders are accountable for their actions.
