# Futarchy proposals can condition passage on token price appreciation thresholds creating market-based approval gates

The Dean's List DAO ThailandDAO proposal demonstrates a futarchy mechanism where proposal passage is explicitly conditioned on achieving a specific token price appreciation threshold. The proposal states: "For this proposal to pass, it must result in a 3% increase in the Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of The Dean's List DAO's Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV). The trading period for this proposal will be 3 days."

This creates a market-based approval gate where:
- Proposals must demonstrate measurable positive impact on token price (3% TWAP increase over 3 days)
- The market's expectation of proposal value determines passage, not just token holder votes
- The threshold is set relative to a specific metric (FDV TWAP) over a defined period
- Current FDV of $123,263 required a $3,698 increase (3%) for passage

This mechanism forces proposals to justify their value through market pricing rather than political coalition-building. The proposal failed, suggesting the market did not price in sufficient positive impact to meet the 3% threshold.

## Evidence

From the proposal:
- "For this proposal to pass, it must result in a 3% increase in the Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of The Dean's List DAO's Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV)"
- "The trading period for this proposal will be 3 days"
- Current FDV: $123,263
- Required increase: $3,698 (3% of FDV)
- Proposal status: Failed
- Completed: 2024-06-25
- Proposal account: `DgXa6gy7nAFFWe8VDkiReQYhqe1JSYQCJWUBV8Mm6aM`
- DAO account: `9TKh2yav4WpSNkFV2cLybrWZETBWZBkQ6WB6qV9Nt9dJ`
- Autocrat version: 0.3

The proposal was submitted through MetaDAO's futarchy infrastructure (futard.io platform, Autocrat version 0.3).
