+# MetaDAO: Hire Advaith Sekharan as Founding Engineer?
+
+## Summary
+Proposal to hire Advaith Sekharan as MetaDAO's founding engineer with $180,000 annual salary and 237 META tokens (1% of supply excluding DAO holdings). Token allocation uses performance-based unlocking tied to market cap milestones, with 100% unlocking at $5B market cap and linear scaling below that threshold. Vesting includes 4-year lockup starting November 2024 and 8-month clawback period.
