Amendment to approved CCTools proposal

Proposal file: proposals/2026-03-CCTools-cctools.md

Approved proposal: #159

Related milestone: #221

Champion at approval: Evan Varsamis (Temple Digital Group)

Purpose

This amendment makes the volatility stipulation in the approved proposal operational before the Milestone 3 vote. It defines an absolute 20% trigger, the CoinGecko reference source, a symmetric recalculation formula, rounding rules, and applicability only to unpaid milestones raised before voting.

Milestone 3 adjustment

• Original funding: 125,000 CC
• Adjusted funding: 175,000 CC
• Total grant funding: 500,000 CC to 550,000 CC
• Reference price on 9 April 2026: $0.14102 per CC
• Reference price on 10 September 2026: $0.098781 per CC
• Price change: -29.95%
• Formula result: 178,450 CC
• Result after rounding down to the nearest 5,000 CC: 175,000 CC

At the Milestone 3 delivery reference price, 175,000 CC represents approximately $17,287, or 98.1% of the approximately $17,628 budget approved for the milestone at the final proposal revision.

Scope

This amendment does not change the Milestone 3 scope, deliverables, or acceptance criteria. Any adjustment remains subject to confirmation by the Tech & Ops Committee.
