Hi everyone,

As part of **PancakeSwap V4** , the introduction of **HOOKS** is a major development. To support their rollout and ensure their success, I propose a **community-driven funding approach**.  
The idea would be to raise a certain amount of **capital** (for example, **$1 million** ) to finance and incentivize the adoption of **HOOKS**. **Contributors** to this funding round would be repaid at a **fixed rate** , determined in advance, over the next few years, through a combination of **CAKE emissions** and **platform-generated profits**.  
This **flexible funding model** would not only support **innovation** but also reward the **community** for actively engaging in the project.

Also

I propose an alternative strategy to fund the operation of **HOOKS** and the **V4** of PancakeSwap. Specifically, I suggest we reduce the **CAKE** allocation currently distributed in the lottery and activate **quests** in both the **Prediction** platform and the **lottery** game.

This approach is feasible and could attract as many players, if not more, than the lottery without the need to mint and distribute excessive amounts of **CAKE**. By saving on the distribution of **CAKE** in the lottery, we can allocate those funds to support the development of the HOOKS.

For more details on activating quests, check out my proposal here: [Weekly Quests on PancakeSwap Prediction](https://forum.pancakeswap.finance/t/proposal-weekly-quests-on-pancakeswap-prediction/810).

Taking these funds directly from the lottery will not impact the various communities that stake **CAKE** (like **StakeDAO** and **CakePie** ) and will allow us to reach a conclusive vote quickly.

What are your thoughts on this two proposal?
