# MetaDAO: Create Spot Market for META?

## Summary
This proposal initiated the creation of a spot market for $META tokens by conducting a public token sale with a $75,000 hard cap, pricing tokens at the TWAP of the passing proposal, and allocating approximately $35,000 to establish a liquidity pool. The proposal passed and enabled MetaDAO to raise funds from public markets for the first time.

## Significance
This was MetaDAO's first public fundraising mechanism through futarchy governance, establishing the precedent for token sales governed by conditional markets. The proposal included a critical constraint: if it failed, MetaDAO would be unable to raise funds until March 12, 2024, creating meaningful stakes for the decision. The structure separated the token sale from liquidity provision, with excess funds reserved for operational funding in $SOL.
