## Summary

### 🎯 Key Points  
MetaDAO proposes to swap $150,000 USDC (approximately 6.8% of its treasury) for ISC to hedge against dollar devaluation and encourage other DAOs to adopt similar treasury strategies.

### 📊 Impact Analysis  
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact  
This move aims to protect MetaDAO's treasury value while potentially benefiting other DAOs through the promotion of innovative governance structures.

#### 📈 Upside Potential  
Holding ISC may help maintain the value of MetaDAO's treasury over time due to its inflation-resistant design.

#### 📉 Risk Factors  
The proposal carries risks such as the potential for ISC to lose value against the USD, given its nascent stage and smaller market presence compared to USDC.

**Overview**

MetaDAO has approximately \$2.2M in USDC in its treasury.

This poses a risk to the DAO given that the US Dollar has been losing value at an increasing rate. The dollar has lost 17.8% of its value since 2020. Due to the debt situation, we don’t expect this to be resolved soon, if ever. 

\$ISC was built specifically to solve this issue. ISC is an inflation-resistant stable currency built on Solana. It was launched at the Solana Hacker House in HCMC on 2023-03-17 at a price of \$1.545. It is now trading at \$1.81.

Not pegged to USD, ISC is collateralized by a basket of financial assets. This basket consists of 20% cash, 20% commodities, 20% treasuries, 20% bonds, and 20% equities. 

If the proposal passes, MetaDAO will swap 150,000 USDC of its treasury (~6.8%) for ISC. 

Details: 

MetaDAO would execute a DCA order on jup.ag using the following parameters:


Amount: 150,000 USDC
To buy: ISC
Every: 1 hours
Over: 10 orders
Min price: 1.7
Max Price: 1.9

The ISC team would encourage other DAOs to use MetaDAO Futarchy for similar treasury swap proposals. This could easily turn into a win-win-win. 

Once the ISC DAO is set up, ISC would commit to use MetaDAO for part of its governance. Example proposals that we have in mind:
- Remove Freeze authority
- Changes in the basket

Potential advantages:
- MetaDAO maintains its treasury value over time
- Promotes other new Solana-native projects
- Showcase a simple Futarchy proposal for other DAOs to follow

Potential pitfalls:
- ISC is still small and early compared to USDC
- ISC could lose value to the USD
