# MetaDAO's DAO-of-DAOs vision positions futarchy as a coordination layer across an ecosystem of governed entities

MetaDAO's long-term vision extends beyond being a launch platform to becoming a "meta DAO"—a DAO of DAOs that coordinates capital and governance across an ecosystem of futarchy-governed entities. This represents an architectural aspiration about how decentralized organizations could compose: rather than isolated governance silos, futarchy-governed entities would share infrastructure and potentially coordinate decisions through a meta-governance layer.

The vision statement includes the claim that "futarchy will replace C-suite decision-making," positioning the mechanism as a general-purpose alternative to traditional corporate governance. If this thesis holds, MetaDAO would function as the coordination substrate—providing shared infrastructure (Autocrat program, conditional markets, settlement mechanisms) while individual DAOs maintain sovereignty over their specific domains.

This "DAO of DAOs" model implies several structural properties:
1. Shared liquidity across conditional markets (capital efficiency through pooling)
2. Reputation and trust networks that span multiple governed entities
3. Meta-governance decisions about platform-level parameters and upgrades
4. Potential for cross-DAO coordination on decisions with spillover effects

The vision remains largely aspirational. Current MetaDAO activity focuses on individual project launches, not inter-DAO coordination. The mechanism for how meta-governance would work—how MetaDAO itself makes decisions about the ecosystem—is unclear. The claim that futarchy will "replace C-suite decision-making" is bold but lacks evidence beyond MetaDAO's own adoption.

This positions MetaDAO as an infrastructure play rather than just a launchpad. If the ecosystem grows, the platform captures value through fees across all governed entities while individual DAOs capture value from their specific operations.

## Evidence
- MetaDAO described as "meta DAO" — DAO of DAOs
- Vision: "coordinating capital and governance across ecosystem of futarchy-governed entities"
- Claim: "futarchy will replace C-suite decision-making"
- Current platform provides shared infrastructure (Autocrat, conditional markets)

## Challenges
- No evidence of actual inter-DAO coordination happening yet
- Unclear how meta-governance decisions would be made
- "Replace C-suite" claim is aspirational without supporting evidence
- Coordination mechanisms between DAOs not specified
- Risk of centralization if MetaDAO becomes single point of control

Relevant Notes:
- [[MetaDAO is the futarchy launchpad on Solana where projects raise capital through unruggable ICOs governed by conditional markets creating the first platform for ownership coins at scale]]
- [[MetaDAOs Autocrat program implements futarchy through conditional token markets where proposals create parallel pass and fail universes settled by time-weighted average price over a three-day window]]
- [[optimal governance requires mixing mechanisms because different decisions have different manipulation risk profiles]]
- [[collective intelligence requires diversity as a structural precondition not a moral preference]]
