Keeping deans-list-enhancing-economic-model.md which has better analysis and links to the treasury-buyback-model claim. Fixes self-review feedback on PR #1753.

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. - -## Relationship to KB -- [[deans-list]] - treasury and payment restructuring -- MetaDAOs-Autocrat-program-implements-futarchy-through-conditional-token-markets-where-proposals-create-parallel-pass-and-fail-universes-settled-by-time-weighted-average-price-over-a-three-day-window - TWAP settlement mechanics -- [[futarchy-markets-can-price-cultural-spending-proposals-by-treating-community-cohesion-and-brand-equity-as-token-price-inputs]] - operational model pricing - -## Full Proposal Text - -*Source: futard.io, tabled 2024-07-18* - -The proposed model involves continuing to charge clients in USDC and using the collected USDC to purchase $DEAN tokens. These tokens will be distributed to DAO citizens as payment for their work, replacing USDC payments. The DAO tax will remain in USDC to hedge against $DEAN price fluctuations. This creates constant buying pressure on the $DEAN token. - -Example: DAO Tax @ 20%, Cost of dApp review 2500 $USDC -- 500 $USDC goes to the treasury -- 2000 $USDC used for purchasing $DEAN tokens (560k $DEAN, price goes up) -- DAO Citizens paid 560k $DEAN; 80% sell to pay bills (448k $DEAN hits market) -- Price always achieves a higher low on each cycle - -### Detailed Analysis -- Current FDV: $337,074 -- Daily Trading Volume: $500 -- Circulating Supply: 100,000,000 $DEAN -- Current Price: $0.00337 - -With 400 USDC daily purchase (80% increase in buy volume), estimated 24% price increase, 15% decrease from sell pressure. -- Initial FDV: $337,074 → New FDV: $355,028 (5.33% increase) -- Exceeds TWAP 3% requirement ($347,186)
