Onchain Cooperatives: Compensation

Part of a series on Onchain Cooperatives, this post covers compensation models for cooperatives that use blockchain for governance and operations. It describes three approaches: cash paid per task or salary, with Indie Protocol weekly agreements given as an example; dividends or bonuses distributed at milestones, such as Indie Season 7's distribution of about 74,000 USDC; and equity, tied to the $INDIE membership token and a Colorado Limited Cooperative Association. The post also says hybrid client engagements may pay in both cash and equity.
