<aside> 💡 In order to achieve a decent payment process, the finance guild re-designed this process. The aim of re-designing is providing more clarity and transparency for the several stakeholders (Aragon Community, ESD, Finance Squad, and Guilds with approved funding). The new payment process for contributors will flow as follows:

</aside>

Step 1 - Monthly reporting by Guilds (standardized format)

Who? Guilds with approved funding
What? Fill out the standardized report and share it on the forum, within a fixed time period
When? Before the first day of the next month (e.g. April’s report before the 1st of May)
Why? Community is able to assess the KPI’s and deliverables in time

Step 2 - Compile and prepare transactions by Finance Squad

Who? Financial Squad
What? Schedule core contributor payments based on the approved guild proposals
When? On the last Thursday of every month
Why? To have a streamlined and transparent overview on the reward payments

Step 3 - Pay out contributors on a fixed day

Who? 3 out of 5 signers of each guild’s MultiSig wallet
What? Approve scheduled transaction
When? On the last Thursday of every month
Why? Approval is required to release the fund from the Guilds MultiSig
