Genesis Scrolls Steering Comittee has been set up with autonomy to shepherd this project into the Lootverse. Some ways that the rewards allocation can work are:
- Committee discussion and emoji voting
- Committee curate the best submissions and then submits them to the community for voting
- Committee hand-picks a voting panel of trusted community members and writers outside of the lootverse.
- Quadratic voting process from communities
Blurb about how this is an initial version and that future rounds will learn and build off this round

Appendix:
ERC - 20 REWARDS ALLOCATION
The Prize Pool for Round 1 will be allocated in a quadratic voting process. Projects and communities participating in the Genesis Scrolls project will have voting rights weighted in the following amounts:
- 25% Loot: Voting with loot bags
- 25% Realms: Voting with Realms
- 25% Genesis Project: Voting with GAs
- 25% Divine: Voting with $DIVINE
Lower Limit Allocation Threshold
To prevent a long tail of rewards that are not economical, no individual Submission may recieve < 1% of the Total Reward Pool. Allocations which are less than 1% of the Total Rewards Pool are considered to be below the Lower Limit Allocation Threshold.
All allocations to submissions below the Lower Limit Allocation Threshold will be re-distributed equitably and pro-rata to submissions above the threshold.
The steering committee reserves the right to adjust and update the allocation of Rewards to make sure that we are allocating appropriately.
