# MetaDAO: Execute Creation of Spot Market for META?

## Summary
This proposal authorized the transfer of 4,130 META tokens to a 4/6 multisig to execute the creation of a spot market for META tokens. The execution plan involved coordinating a private sale to raise 75,000 USDC, then using 1,000 META paired with 35,000 USDC to create a liquidity pool on Meteora, setting an initial spot price of 35 USDC per META.

## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** UuGEwN9aeh676ufphbavfssWVxH7BJCqacq1RYhco8e
- **Proposal Number:** 5
- **Completed:** 2024-02-10
- **Autocrat Version:** 0.1

## Execution Structure
The proposal established a 4/6 multisig containing Proph3t, Dean, Nallok, Durden, Rar3, and BlockchainFixesThis to execute a multi-step process:

1. Collect demand through Google form
2. Proph3t determines allocations
3. Participants transfer USDC (Feb 5-7 deadline)
4. Backfill unmet demand from waitlist (Feb 8)
5. Multisig distributes META to participants, creates LP, and disbands (Feb 9)

Token allocation breakdown:
- 3,100 META to sale participants
- 1,000 META paired with 35,000 USDC for liquidity pool
- 30 META as multisig member compensation (5 META each)

## Significance
This proposal demonstrates the operational scaffolding required for futarchy-governed treasury operations. The proposal explicitly acknowledged "no algorithmic guarantee" of execution, instead relying on reputational incentives: "it's unlikely that 4 or more of the multisig members would be willing to tarnish their reputation in order to do something different."

The execution model shows futarchy DAOs using human-operated multisigs with social enforcement for operational tasks even when the governance decision itself is market-determined. This represents a pragmatic hybrid between algorithmic governance and traditional operational execution.
