# ISC (Inflation-resistant Stable Currency)
## Overview
ISC is a Solana-native stablecoin designed as an inflation hedge rather than a USD peg. Launched in March 2023, ISC maintains collateralization through a diversified basket of assets (20% each: cash, commodities, treasuries, bonds, equities). Unlike traditional stablecoins pegged to fiat, ISC aims to preserve purchasing power against inflation.
## Timeline
- **2023-03-17** — Launched at Solana Hacker House in Ho Chi Minh City at $1.545
- **2024-10-30** — Trading at $1.81; proposed MetaDAO treasury swap of $150,000 USDC into ISC
- **2024-11-03** — MetaDAO proposal failed
## Key Metrics
- **Launch Price:** $1.545 (2023-03-17)
- **Price at MetaDAO Proposal:** $1.81 (2024-10-30)
- **Collateral Structure:** 20% cash, 20% commodities, 20% treasuries, 20% bonds, 20% equities
## Relationship to KB
- [[metadao-swap-150000-into-isc]] - failed treasury diversification proposal
- Represents alternative stablecoin design philosophy (inflation resistance vs. fiat peg)

# MetaDAO: Swap $150,000 into ISC?
## Summary
MetaDAO proposed converting $150,000 USDC (approximately 6.8% of its $2.2M treasury) into ISC, a Solana-native inflation-resistant stablecoin. The proposal aimed to hedge against USD devaluation while encouraging other DAOs to adopt similar treasury diversification strategies. The proposal failed.
MetaDAO proposed swapping $150,000 USDC (approximately 6.8% of its $2.2M treasury) for ISC, a Solana-native inflation-resistant stablecoin. The proposal aimed to hedge against USD devaluation while encouraging other DAOs to adopt similar treasury diversification strategies. The ISC team offered to use MetaDAO's futarchy for governance decisions in exchange.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed
- **Proposer:** @Richard_ISC (ISC team member)
- **Proposer:** @Richard_ISC (ISC team)
- **Proposal Account:** Gp3ANMRTdGLPNeMGFUrzVFaodouwJSEXHbg5rFUi9roJ
- **Proposal Number:** 8
- **Created:** 2024-10-30
- **Completed:** 2024-11-03
## Proposal Details
The proposal called for a DCA order on Jupiter with:
- Amount: 150,000 USDC
- Frequency: Every 1 hour
- Duration: 10 orders
- Price range: $1.70 - $1.90
- **Amount:** $150,000 USDC (~6.8% of treasury)
- **Target Asset:** ISC (Inflation-resistant Stable Currency)
- **Execution Method:** DCA order on Jupiter with 10 orders over 1-hour intervals
- **Price Range:** $1.70 - $1.90 per ISC
- **ISC Collateral:** 20% cash, 20% commodities, 20% treasuries, 20% bonds, 20% equities
- **ISC Launch:** 2023-03-17 at $1.545, trading at $1.81 at proposal time
ISC is collateralized by a basket of assets (20% each: cash, commodities, treasuries, bonds, equities) and launched at $1.545 on 2023-03-17, trading at $1.81 at proposal time.
## Rationale
- USD lost 17.8% of value since 2020
- ISC designed as inflation hedge through diversified collateral basket
- ISC team committed to using MetaDAO futarchy for governance (freeze authority removal, basket changes)
- Potential to attract other DAOs to MetaDAO platform
## Significance
This proposal represents an early test of treasury diversification strategies in futarchy-governed DAOs. The failure suggests either market skepticism about ISC's risk profile, concerns about the proposer's conflict of interest (ISC team member), or general resistance to moving away from USDC as the treasury standard.
The proposal also attempted to create a reciprocal governance relationship where ISC would use MetaDAO futarchy for its own governance decisions, representing a potential network effect for futarchy adoption.
This proposal represents an external project using MetaDAO's futarchy platform to gain legitimacy and treasury diversification from an established DAO. The failure suggests MetaDAO token holders were skeptical of either ISC's value proposition or the appropriateness of treasury diversification into a nascent stablecoin. The proposal also demonstrates the challenge of cross-promotional treasury deals where the proposer has direct financial interest.

extraction_notes: "Failed treasury diversification proposal. Primary extraction is decision_market entity with parent timeline update and new ISC entity. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or treasury management—this is a straightforward proposal rejection with no broader theoretical implications. The proposal's failure provides a data point about MetaDAO's risk appetite but doesn't establish a generalizable pattern."
