Allocation

Allocation logic determines how and when allocators can express opinions about distributing the pool's funds to recipients. Allocators are wallet addresses that are able to utilize the allocate function. Each strategy will need to determine what makes a wallet eligible to be an allocator. Allocation can be as complex or simple as needed for a given strategy.

Some common considerations include:

  • Is there a certain time period allocation can occur during?
  • Can an allocator allocate multiple times?
  • Does allocation require funds to be sent, and if so where are they stored?
