The treasury systems and processes may require more or less contribution effort over time as the systems and processes start to mature and as the external environment changes. Due to a constantly changing environment it could be expected to see the number of contributors involved in the operation of the treasury to expand and contract based on the needs of the ecosystem at a given moment in time.
Long term importance of contributors for Web3 treasuries
Community members have high flexibility to move to other ecosystems
Web3 ecosystems are inherently digital first networks. Anyone can participate and use these networks for their own benefit. This means community members are easily able to use and benefit from multiple ecosystems and can fully migrate from one ecosystem to another. This reality helps to highlight the importance of ecosystems being able to attract and retain quality contributors so that ecosystem can continue to grow and develop at a similar or faster pace than its competitors.
The skill and competence of an ecosystems contributors will highly impact how it evolves and improves over time
Both nation states and corporations require highly skilled professionals that are competent in contributing towards the overall success and daily operation of these organisations. In a similar vein, the skill level and competence of the contributors involved in different Web3 ecosystems will also be highly influential on the long term evolution and success of these ecosystems. Ultimately it will be the people who are actually contributing towards improving these emerging Web3 ecosystems that end up creating the right incentives and reasons for community members to engage and participate in an ecosystem over the long term.
