Originally a sub-DAO of Grape Protocol. Self-describes as a "Network State" of Web3 power users. One of the early DAOs to adopt MetaDAO's futarchy governance outside of MetaDAO itself. -## Current State -- **Token**: DEAN. Total supply capped at 100M (30M additional minted, then mint authority burned). Economic model: charge clients in USDC, use collected USDC to purchase DEAN tokens. -- **Governance**: Uses MetaDAO's futarchy for governance decisions. "Enhancing The Dean's List DAO Economic Model" was put through futarchy decision markets. -- **Scope evolution**: Beyond just feedback services — now involves broader Solana ecosystem coordination, trading community activities, AI agent token exploration. +Dean's List is a services DAO that adopted futarchy governance mechanisms from MetaDAO. The protocol uses conditional markets to govern organizational decisions. -## Significance for KB -Dean's List is interesting not as a standalone company but as an adoption data point. It demonstrates that futarchy governance can be adopted by organizations outside of MetaDAO's direct ecosystem — a services DAO using market-based governance for operational decisions. If more existing DAOs migrate from Snapshot/token voting to futarchy, that validates the governance evolution thesis. +## Governance Activity -## Relationship to KB -- DAO governance degenerates into political capture because proposal processes select for coalition-building skill over operational competence and the resulting bureaucracy creates structural speed disadvantages against focused competitors — Dean's List moved from token voting to futarchy to escape this -- [[optimal governance requires mixing mechanisms because different decisions have different manipulation risk profiles]] — Dean's List may use futarchy selectively for high-stakes decisions - ---- - -Relevant Entities: -- [[metadao]] — governance platform - -Topics: -- [[internet finance and decision markets]] +The DAO has executed treasury proposals and buyback models through its futarchy governance system. ## Timeline -- **2024-12-19** — [[deans-list-implement-3-week-vesting]] passed: 3-week linear vesting for DAO payments to reduce sell pressure from 80% immediate liquidation to 33% weekly rate, projected 15%-25% valuation increase - -- **2024-10-10** — [[islanddao-treasury-proposal]] passed: Established treasury reserve funded by 2.5% of USDC payments with risk-scored asset allocation (80/20 safe/risky split) and quarterly performance reviews managed by Kai (@DeFi_Kai) -- **2024-06-22** — [[deans-list-thailanddao-event-promotion]] proposed: $15K budget for ThailandDAO event promotion with travel for top 5 governance holders, requiring 3% TWAP increase -- **2024-06-25** — [[deans-list-thailanddao-event-promotion]] failed: Despite projecting 16x FDV increase ($123K to $2M+), proposal failed to attract sufficient trading volume during 3-day window \ No newline at end of file +- **2026-03-30** — Confirmed as active futarchy-governed services DAO with treasury and buyback governance history \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/entities/internet-finance/drift-protocol.md b/entities/internet-finance/drift-protocol.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..4651bc6b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/entities/internet-finance/drift-protocol.md @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +# Drift Protocol + +**Type:** DeFi protocol +**Governance:** Partial futarchy adoption +**Status:** Active + +## Overview + +Drift is a DeFi protocol that has adopted futarchy governance for specific decision categories. + +## Governance Scope + +Drift uses futarchy mechanisms for token listing decisions, representing a domain-specific rather than comprehensive adoption of conditional market governance. + +## Timeline + +- **2026-03-30** — Confirmed as using futarchy for token listing governance decisions \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/entities/internet-finance/umbra.md b/entities/internet-finance/umbra.md index 2f139131e..3f6df079f 100644 --- a/entities/internet-finance/umbra.md +++ b/entities/internet-finance/umbra.md @@ -1,14 +1,13 @@ # Umbra -**Type:** Company -**Domain:** internet-finance -**Status:** Active -**Token:** UMBRA +**Type:** Token project +**Launch Platform:** MetaDAO permissioned launchpad +**Status:** Launched ## Overview -Umbra is a project that raised capital through MetaDAO's permissioned futarchy launchpad. +Umbra is a project that launched through MetaDAO's futarchy-governed launchpad infrastructure. ## Timeline -- **2025-2026** — Raised capital through MetaDAO permissioned launchpad \ No newline at end of file +- **2026-03-30** — Confirmed as launched through MetaDAO permissioned launchpad \ No newline at end of file
