Primary value is entity data (decision_market record) and enrichment showing futarchy platforms enabling governance spectrum beyond pure conditional markets. The committee-based execution model contrasts with pure market mechanisms and provides evidence for how futarchy-governed platforms can delegate specific decisions to expert committees while maintaining market oversight at proposal level." --- ## Proposal Details @@ -133,3 +138,12 @@ This comes at a cost of 50k DRIFT tokens to the foundation. - Autocrat version: 0.3 - Completed: 2024-12-22 - Ended: 2024-12-22 + + +## Key Facts +- Drift AI Agents RFG allocated 50,000 DRIFT for grants (2024-12-19) +- Grant range: 10,000-20,000 DRIFT per project +- Application deadline: March 1st, 2025 +- Target categories: trading agents, yield agents, information agents, social agents +- Proposal passed 2024-12-22 on Autocrat v0.3 +- Grants deployed within 2 weeks of approval, may require KYC
