 Dean's List DAO fee structure proposal passed despite requiring traders to actively migrate to new pools and accept 20x higher fees (0.25% to 5%). The proposal explicitly acknowledged potential 20-30% volume decrease but passed anyway, suggesting the market priced the net treasury benefit (~$19k-25k annual growth) as worth the migration friction. This demonstrates that futarchy can approve proposals with significant user friction when the economic benefit is clear.

+The Dean's List DAO proposal passed futarchy governance despite requiring complex economic modeling (FDV calculations, TWAP projections, multi-step cash flow analysis) to evaluate. The proposal included detailed scenarios showing 5.33% FDV increase exceeding 3% TWAP requirements, but this level of financial sophistication creates evaluation barriers for typical token holders.

 The proposal passed MetaDAO governance but represents a single implementation without long-term performance data. The 80% sell-off assumption is stated as "assumption" in the proposal itself, not empirically validated. No mechanism prevents citizens from selling more than 80% if they face liquidity pressure.

+The Dean's List DAO implemented a treasury buyback model where 80% of USDC revenue (2000 USDC per 2500 USDC dApp review) purchases $DEAN tokens distributed to DAO citizens, with 20% retained as USDC tax. The model assumes 80% of distributed tokens are immediately sold, creating net positive price action where 'buys exceeded sells by 20%' and 'the price will always achieve a higher low on each cycle.' With 400 USDC daily purchases against 500 USDC baseline volume (80% increase), they projected 24% upward price pressure offset by 15% downward pressure from citizen selling, yielding 5.33% FDV increase versus 3% TWAP requirement.
