The stated goals were to strengthen partnership with the 200-member student organization, attract skilled blockchain talent to the DAO ecosystem, and increase participation in governance. The proposal passed with a success condition requiring a 5% increase in the DAO's fully diluted valuation (FDV) over a 5-day trading period. + +## Market Data +- **Outcome:** Passed +- **Proposer:** HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz +- **Token Allocation:** 1,000,000 $DEAN (~1,300 USDC) +- **DAO FDV at Proposal:** $115,655 +- **Required FDV Increase:** $5,783 (5%) +- **Trading Period:** 5 days +- **Completed:** 2024-06-11 + +## Significance +This represents an early example of futarchy-governed grant allocation where the market mechanism enforced an explicit ROI condition. The proposal's economic model calculated that each of the 200 students needed to contribute activities increasing FDV by approximately $28.92 to justify the expenditure, projecting a benefit-to-cost ratio of $4.45 per dollar spent. The proposal demonstrates how futarchy can apply market discipline to traditionally subjective partnership and community-building decisions. + +## Relationship to KB +- [[deans-list]] - parent organization governance decision +- [[futardio]] - platform used for decision market +- [[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]] - governance mechanism diff --git a/inbox/archive/2024-06-08-futardio-proposal-reward-the-university-of-waterloo-blockchain-club-with-1-mil.md b/inbox/archive/2024-06-08-futardio-proposal-reward-the-university-of-waterloo-blockchain-club-with-1-mil.md index 1a8ebb66..a999455c 100644 --- a/inbox/archive/2024-06-08-futardio-proposal-reward-the-university-of-waterloo-blockchain-club-with-1-mil.md +++ b/inbox/archive/2024-06-08-futardio-proposal-reward-the-university-of-waterloo-blockchain-club-with-1-mil.md @@ -6,9 +6,13 @@ url: "https://www.futard.io/proposal/7KkoRGyvzhvzKjxuPHjyxg77a52MeP6axyx7aywpGbd date: 2024-06-08 domain: internet-finance format: data -status: unprocessed +status: processed tags: [futardio, metadao, futarchy, solana, governance] event_type: proposal +processed_by: rio +processed_date: 2026-03-11 +extraction_model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5" +extraction_notes: "Source is a futarchy governance proposal for grant allocation.
