# MetaDAO Autocrat v0.1 reduces proposal duration to three days enabling faster governance iteration

The Autocrat v0.1 upgrade introduces configurable slots per proposal with a default of 3 days, explicitly designed to "allow for quicker feedback loops." This represents a significant reduction from previous implementations and addresses a key friction point in futarchy adoption: the time cost of decision-making. The proposal passed and migrated 990,000 META, 10,025 USDC, and 5.5 SOL to the new program, demonstrating community acceptance of faster iteration cycles. The architectural change makes proposal duration a parameter rather than a constant, allowing MetaDAO to tune the speed-quality tradeoff based on empirical results. This matters because governance mechanism adoption depends on matching decision velocity to organizational needs—too slow and participants route around the system, too fast and markets cannot aggregate information effectively.


### Additional Evidence (confirm)
*Source: [[2025-10-15-futardio-proposal-lets-get-futarded]] | Added: 2026-03-15*

Coal's v0.6 parameters set proposal length at 3 days with 1-day TWAP delay, confirming this as the standard configuration for Autocrat v0.6 implementations. The combination of 1-day TWAP delay plus 3-day proposal window creates a 4-day total decision cycle.
