(Note: I’m going to start calling ¤ “grain” instead of “mana”, for reasons discussed here).
I want to move grain from a “redemption model” (SourceCred redeems grain for $1=100¤) to a “purchasing model” (Protocol Labs buys grain for $1=100¤). This more clearly manifests the idea that the price of grain reflects how external parties currently value the project.
I’m now committed to making grain a digital currency, so it will be fungible and will not evaporate.
The Cred weighted roadmap will operate over every proposed initiative. So far, no one has written an initiative about making grain into an ERC-20 token. I encourage you to propose it.
