Overview: Equal Split Allocation is a Flow State strategy that divides funding equally among all eligible contributors, providing each person with a fixed share of the funding river. It’s a straightforward, egalitarian approach that’s available for any team, project, or ecosystem using Flow State today.

Benefits of Using Equal Split in Flow State
Using Equal Split in a Flow State flow round allows teams, DAOs, and any collaborative ecosystem to:
- Quickly and transparently allocate funds in real time.
- Implement an easy-to-understand distribution model.
- Encourage team cohesion and unity by equalizing each member’s share of the funding river.
Limitations of Equal Split Allocation
While simple and inclusive, Equal Split Allocation may not suit contexts where:
- Contributors vary significantly in their levels of effort or impact.
- There’s a need to incentivize specific high-impact contributions.
- A project has progressed to a point where more advanced contribution tracking and reward systems are required. See An Allocation Strategy that Prioritizes Your DAO’s Top Builders: “Contribution Weighting”
How to Implement Equal Split Allocation in Flow State
With Flow State, setting up Equal Split Allocation is as simple as defining the total funding amount and number of contributors, then letting Flow State stream equal portions to each participant in real time. This strategy provides a consistent and clear way to ensure fair and inclusive distribution, ideal for any team or ecosystem looking to start a Flow Round without complexity.
Starting Simple with Flow State: From Equal Split to Advanced Allocation
Flow State is designed to grow with you. You can start with a basic Equal Split Allocation—where each contributor gets an equal share—by setting everyone’s merit points to the same value. This strategy works well for smaller teams or when you’re not yet ready to differentiate between different contributions.
Why Start with Equal Split?
- Simplicity: Equal Split Allocation is straightforward and fair, making it ideal for early stages when the team is small or priorities are still evolving.
- Quick Setup: It doesn’t require complex point-tracking or role definitions, so you can get started fast.
Shifting to a New Allocation Strategy
As your team grows and contributions diversify, Flow State makes it easy to transition to more sophisticated strategies—like Contribution Weighting—without opening a new flow round. Simply adjust the point distribution for each contributor based on the new criteria or merit system.
This flexibility ensures your funding approach can grow alongside your ecosystem, from early simplicity to advanced contribution-based rewards.
Equal Split Allocation is ready for use today in Flow State, providing a simple, equitable way to distribute funds and create a positive, collaborative environment across various teams and ecosystems.
