The appointment covered retroactive compensation for December-March and forward compensation for April-June, totaling 1,015 META and 100,000 USDC.

The appointment of benevolent dictators created a hybrid model where strategic decisions remained futarchy-governed while operational execution moved to trusted individuals.
