With 9% of token supply unlocking monthly over 24 months from investors, the mechanism could have increased the Team Reserve by up to 27 million CLOUD while reducing token overhang. The team committed not to redistribute forfeited tokens for at least 24 months. + +## Market Data +- **Outcome:** Failed +- **Platform:** Futardio (MetaDAO Autocrat v0.3) +- **Proposal Account:** C61vTUyxTq5SWwbrTFEyYeXpGQLKhRRvRrGsu6YUa6CX +- **Created:** 2025-08-20 +- **Completed:** 2025-08-23 +- **Discussion:** https://research.sanctum.so/t/cloud-005-should-sanctum-offer-investors-early-unlocks-of-their-cloud-under-deliberation/1793 + +## Significance +This proposal represents an alternative to hedgeable time-based vesting: forfeit-for-liquidity creates direct economic cost for early unlock rather than relying on lockup periods that sophisticated investors can neutralize through derivatives. The 35% forfeit rate creates a revealed preference test—investors who accept it value liquidity more than the forfeited tokens, while those who decline signal confidence in long-term value. The failure suggests either the forfeit rate was insufficient to compensate for reduced alignment, or investors preferred maintaining their vesting schedules (possibly because they had already hedged their exposure). + +The proposal also demonstrates futarchy governance applied to treasury and tokenomics decisions, where the market evaluates complex tradeoffs (reduced overhang vs immediate selling pressure vs team reserve growth) rather than simple binary choices. + +## Relationship to KB +- [[sanctum]] - parent entity, treasury governance decision +- [[time-based-token-vesting-is-hedgeable-making-standard-lockups-meaningless-as-alignment-mechanisms-because-investors-can-short-sell-to-neutralize-lockup-exposure-while-appearing-locked]] - this proposal tests an alternative mechanism +- [[futarchy-adoption-faces-friction-from-token-price-psychology-proposal-complexity-and-liquidity-requirements]] - demonstrates proposal complexity friction +- [[MetaDAOs-futarchy-implementation-shows-limited-trading-volume-in-uncontested-decisions]] - another data point on futarchy market activity diff --git a/inbox/archive/2025-08-20-futardio-proposal-should-sanctum-offer-investors-early-unlocks-of-their-cloud.md b/inbox/archive/2025-08-20-futardio-proposal-should-sanctum-offer-investors-early-unlocks-of-their-cloud.md index 0c3b0248..55e411e5 100644 --- a/inbox/archive/2025-08-20-futardio-proposal-should-sanctum-offer-investors-early-unlocks-of-their-cloud.md +++ b/inbox/archive/2025-08-20-futardio-proposal-should-sanctum-offer-investors-early-unlocks-of-their-cloud.md @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ url: "https://www.futard.io/proposal/C61vTUyxTq5SWwbrTFEyYeXpGQLKhRRvRrGsu6YUa6C date: 2025-08-20 domain: internet-finance format: data -status: unprocessed +status: processed tags: [futardio, metadao, futarchy, solana, governance] event_type: proposal processed_by: rio @@ -14,6 +14,11 @@ processed_date: 2025-08-20 enrichments_applied: ["time-based-token-vesting-is-hedgeable-making-standard-lockups-meaningless-as-alignment-mechanisms-because-investors-can-short-sell-to-neutralize-lockup-exposure-while-appearing-locked.md", "MetaDAOs-futarchy-implementation-shows-limited-trading-volume-in-uncontested-decisions.md", "futarchy-adoption-faces-friction-from-token-price-psychology-proposal-complexity-and-liquidity-requirements.md"] extraction_model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5" extraction_notes: "No new claims extracted.
