# c2yptic
## Overview
c2yptic is a core contributor to Saber protocol who initiated the partnership between Saber and MetaDAO for vote market infrastructure development. Described as "really excited about the Meta-DAO's vision," c2yptic proposed that MetaDAO build Saber's planned vote market rather than Saber developing it internally.

# MetaDAO: Develop a Saber Vote Market?
## Summary
Proposal to build a vote market for Saber (similar to Curve's Votium/Convex model) where veSBR holders can sell their governance votes to projects seeking liquidity. The platform would be funded by $150K from ecosystem partners (UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, Saber), with MetaDAO owning 65% and taking a 15% fee on vote trades. Development budget of $62K with 10-week timeline targeting February 2024 launch.
Proposal 2 requested MetaDAO build a vote market platform for Saber protocol, funded by $150,000 from ecosystem partners (UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, Saber). The platform would enable veSBR holders to earn yield by selling votes while projects could efficiently purchase liquidity. MetaDAO would own majority stake and earn 5-15% take rate on vote trade volume. This represented MetaDAO's pivot from pure governance platform to revenue-generating infrastructure provider.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** Proph3t (metaproph3t)
- **Completed:** 2023-12-22
- **Budget:** $62,000 development cost, $150,000 total consortium funding
- **Timeline:** 10 weeks (Dec 18, 2023 - Feb 19, 2024)
- **Proposal Account:** GPT8dFcpHfssMuULYKT9qERPY3heMoxwZHxgKgPw3TYM
- **DAO Account:** 7J5yieabpMoiN3LrdfJnRjQiXHgi7f47UuMnyMyR78yy
- **Autocrat Version:** 0.1
- **Funding:** $150,000 consortium (UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, Saber)
- **Development Budget:** $62,000
- **Treasury Allocation:** $90,000 for operations/maintenance
## Mechanism Design
The proposal models vote market economics on Curve/Convex data:
- Estimated $1 in yearly vote trade volume per $50 of Saber TVL (based on Curve at $1/$67, pre-depeg Curve at $1/$48, Aura at $1/$56)
- 15% take rate (compared to Convex 7-10%, Votium ~3%, Hidden Hand ~10%)
- At $20M Saber TVL baseline: $400K annual vote volume → $60K annual revenue to MetaDAO
- Revenue scales with TVL growth scenarios ($40M TVL = $120K/year, $100M TVL = $300K/year)
## Financial Model
- **Revenue Model:** 5-15% take rate on vote trade volume
- **Volume Estimate:** $1 yearly vote trade per $50 Saber TVL (based on Curve/Aura comparables)
- **Saber TVL (Dec 2023):** $20M
- **Projected Annual Volume:** ~$400k at baseline
- **MetaDAO Ownership:** 65% (after 10% liquidity mining allocation)
## Team and Execution
- Marie (UI/UX): $12,000
- Matt/fzzyyti (smart contracts): $24,000
- Durden (platform design & tokenomics): $7,000

- Marie (swagy_marie): UI/UX ($12k)
- Durden: Platform design ($7k)
- Proph3t: Program management ($7k)

## Timeline
- **Kickoff:** December 11-15, 2023
- **Development:** December 18 - February 9, 2024 (with holiday break)
- **Audit:** January 29 - February 2, 2024
- **Launch Target:** February 19, 2024
## Significance
This represents MetaDAO's second attempt at building vote market infrastructure after pivoting from Marinade (which built internal solution). The proposal demonstrates:
1. **Partnership strategy** - Ecosystem consortium funding model where beneficiaries co-fund infrastructure
2. **Revenue model validation** - First detailed financial projections for MetaDAO revenue beyond token appreciation
3. **Legitimacy building** - Partnering with established Solana protocols (Saber, UXD) to gain credibility
4. **Futarchy application** - Using conditional markets to decide whether to pursue this business opportunity
This proposal marked MetaDAO's strategic evolution from governance-only platform to infrastructure-as-a-service provider. By building revenue-generating products for partner protocols, MetaDAO demonstrated futarchy could govern not just internal decisions but external product development. The consortium funding model showed multi-stakeholder coordination around futarchy infrastructure. The financial projections based on Curve/Votium/Hidden Hand comparables represented first attempt to model vote market economics in Solana DeFi context.
The financial modeling is notably sophisticated, benchmarking against Ethereum vote market comparables (Votium, Hidden Hand, Convex) and projecting revenue scenarios across different TVL levels.
## Context
Proposal referenced MetaDAO's original Proposal 0 (Marinade vote market) which passed but pivoted when Marinade developed internal solution. Saber partnership emerged when c2yptic approached MetaDAO to build what Saber had planned internally, showing protocol preference for futarchy-governed infrastructure over internal development.

# Saber
## Overview
Saber is a Solana-based automated market maker (AMM) protocol specializing in stablecoin and pegged asset trading. As of December 2023, Saber had $20M in total value locked (TVL). The protocol uses vote-escrowed governance (veSBR) where token holders lock SBR to gain voting power over liquidity gauge emissions.

extraction_notes: "Proposal entity extraction. This is a governance decision with detailed financial modeling but no novel mechanism claims - the vote market concept itself is established (Curve/Convex model). The significance is in MetaDAO's application and partnership structure, not in the underlying mechanism. Financial projections are self-reported estimates, not verified outcomes. No new claims warranted as the vote market mechanism and futarchy governance are already covered in existing KB claims."
extraction_notes: "This is a governance proposal document, not a claim-generating source. Primary output is the decision_market entity for the proposal itself, plus timeline updates for MetaDAO and creation of new entity pages for consortium partners (Saber, UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance) and development team members. Three enrichments added showing: (1) Autocrat v0.1 operational parameters in production, (2) MetaDAO's business model evolution toward infrastructure-as-a-service, and (3) partnership-driven adoption strategy as friction reduction mechanism. No new claims extracted because the proposal contains operational/financial details rather than novel mechanism insights. The vote market economics modeling (based on Curve/Aura comparables) is interesting but represents application of existing knowledge rather than new theoretical contribution."
