+# Dean's List: Enhancing The Dean's List DAO Economic Model
+
+## Summary
+The proposal restructures The Dean's List DAO's payment model to charge clients in USDC, use 80% of revenue to purchase $DEAN tokens, distribute those tokens to DAO citizens as payment, and retain 20% DAO tax in USDC. The model aims to create consistent buy pressure on $DEAN while hedging treasury against token volatility.

+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Passed
+- **Proposer:** IslandDAO
+- **Resolution:** 2024-07-22
+- **Proposal Account:** 5c2XSWQ9rVPge2Umoz1yenZcAwRaQS5bC4i4w87B1WUp
+
+## Economic Model
+- **Revenue Structure:** 2500 USDC per dApp review, targeting 6 reviews monthly (15,000 USDC/month)
+- **Tax Split:** 20% to treasury in USDC (3,000 USDC/month), 80% to $DEAN purchases (12,000 USDC/month)
+- **Daily Flow:** 400 USDC daily purchases → ~118,694 $DEAN tokens
+- **Sell Pressure:** Assumes 80% of distributed tokens sold by contributors (94,955 $DEAN daily)
+- **Net Impact:** Modeled 5.33% FDV increase vs 3% TWAP requirement
+
+## Significance
+This proposal demonstrates futarchy pricing a specific operational business model with quantified buy/sell pressure dynamics. The structured approach—USDC revenue → token purchases → contributor distribution → partial sell-off—creates a measurable feedback loop between DAO operations and token price. The 20% USDC tax hedge shows hybrid treasury management within futarchy governance.
