The proposal framed this as an experiment in decentralized listing processes, arguing that futarchy could empower community participation, improve governance utilization, and create a more optimal allocation of development resources compared to traditional listing decisions. + +## Market Data +- **Outcome:** Passed +- **Proposer:** Nallok, Divide +- **Proposal Account:** FXkyJpCVADXS6YZcz1Kppax8Kgih23t6yvze7ehELJpp +- **DAO Account:** 8ABcEC2SEaqi1WkyWGtd2QbuWmkFryYnV1ispBUSgY2V +- **Autocrat Version:** 0.3 +- **Created:** 2024-11-25 +- **Completed:** 2024-11-28 + +## Context +META had limited liquidity at proposal time: +- 7-day average daily volume: $199.7k +- 30-day volume: $7.4M +- FDV: $79.9M +- Only CEX listing: CoinEX +- Token address: METADDFL6wWMWEoKTFJwcThTbUmtarRJZjRpzUvkxhr + +The proposal acknowledged significant risks from low liquidity and limited trading volume, noting susceptibility to volatility and price manipulation.

The proposal explicitly positioned futarchy as superior to standard voting for surfacing community preferences and allocating development resources.
