# agrippa
## Overview
Solana governance infrastructure developer and conditional vault architect. Led development on Solana Labs' governance-ui (Realms frontend) and created the first conditional tokens vault on Solana (Precogparty). Proposed multi-modal futarchy functionality to MetaDAO in February 2024.
## Timeline
- **2014** — Started one of the first high-school blockchain clubs with physics teacher Jed (now at Jito)
- **2017** — Invited to smart contract summit in China for Sybil resistance work (attended by Vitalik Buterin)
- **~2022** — Developed first conditional tokens vault on Solana as part of Precogparty prediction market (FTX grant-funded)
- **2023-2024** — Lead developer on Solana Labs' governance-ui (Realms frontend)
- **2023-12** — Met Proph3t in Greece for 3-hour discussion on MetaDAO and futarchy
- **2024-02-20** — [[metadao-develop-multi-option-proposals]] proposed to MetaDAO; failed 2024-02-25
## Relationship to KB

# MetaDAO: Develop Multi-Option Proposals?
## Summary
Proposal by agrippa to develop multi-modal proposal functionality for MetaDAO's Autocrat program, allowing proposals with multiple mutually-exclusive outcomes rather than only binary pass/fail. Requested 200 META compensation across 4 milestones (conditional vault program, futarch integration, frontend integration, plus immediate payment). Proposal failed despite technical merit and detailed implementation plan.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed
- **Proposer:** agrippa (99dZcXhrYgEmHeMKAb9ezPaBqgMdg1RjCGSfHa7BeQEX)
- **Proposal Account:** J7dWFgSSuMg3BNZBAKYp3AD5D2yuaaLUmyKqvxBZgHht
- **Created:** 2024-02-20
- **Completed:** 2024-02-25
- **Compensation Requested:** 200 META across 4 milestones
- **Multisig Review:** 3/5 multisig (Proph3t, DeanMachine, 0xNallok, LegalizeOnionFutures, sapphire)
## Significance
This proposal is significant for futarchy mechanism design because it addresses a fundamental limitation of binary futarchy: the inability to evaluate multiple alternatives simultaneously. The proposer estimated multi-option functionality would add ~12% to DAO value through increased decision bandwidth (+5%), pork-barrel reduction (+5%), and innovation credibility (+2%).
The proposal's failure despite technical merit and detailed planning suggests either:
1. Markets priced the feature as less valuable than the proposer estimated
2. Markets doubted the proposer's ability to deliver
3. Markets believed 200 META was overpriced for the work
4. Low liquidity prevented accurate price discovery
The proposal demonstrates sophisticated understanding of futarchy architecture, noting that "conditional markets do not compete with each other over liquidity" and that there is "no need to hard-limit the number of conditions in a conditional vault."
## Proposer Background
Agrippa presented strong credentials:
- Lead developer on Solana Labs' governance-ui (Realms frontend) for 1 year
- Developed first conditional tokens vault on Solana (Precogparty, FTX grant-funded)
- Research at Cornell's Initiative for Cryptocurrency and Contracts
- Started one of the first high-school blockchain clubs (2014)
- Met with Proph3t in Greece (December 2023) for 3-hour discussion on futarchy

extraction_notes: "High-quality technical proposal with detailed mechanism design and strong proposer credentials. Failed outcome is significant data point for futarchy adoption friction. Three claims extracted focus on: (1) multi-option proposal architecture and decision bandwidth, (2) pork-barrel reduction through draft stages, (3) milestone-based compensation as DAO contracting pattern. Created decision_market entity for the proposal and person entity for agrippa given technical contributions and detailed background."
