# MetaDAO: Appoint Nallok and Proph3t Benevolent Dictators for Three Months
## Summary
This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M) from proposal finalization through June 30, 2024, to accelerate MetaDAO's execution velocity. The role included authority over retroactive compensation (December 2023 - March 2024), ongoing business operations, project management, and contributor compensation. The proposal requested 1,015 META and 100,000 USDC to cover seven months of compensation (four retroactive, three forward-looking).
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz
- **Proposal Number:** 14
- **Completed:** 2024-03-31
## Significance
This proposal represented a critical governance transition for MetaDAO, explicitly acknowledging that "the current proposal process is too slow and costly" for startup-speed execution. The proposers estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's probability of success by more than 20%, framing this as an emergency measure to bridge the gap until futarchy could function autonomously. The decision consolidated operational authority outside the futarchy mechanism itself, creating a temporary hierarchy to solve the cold-start problem of governance market liquidity.
The scope included exceptional authority to make code license grants and steer the off-chain proposal process, effectively creating a dual governance structure where strategic decisions remained with the dictators while futarchy continued to operate for other proposals.

extraction_notes: "Governance proposal establishing temporary centralized leadership structure. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms — this is operational data about MetaDAO's governance evolution. The proposal explicitly acknowledges futarchy's execution bottleneck ('too slow and costly') but doesn't provide new theoretical insight beyond what existing claims already capture. Entity extraction captures the governance decision and its significance."
