 - **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees
 - **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."

 # MetaDAO: Engage in $500,000 OTC Trade with Theia? [2]

 ## Summary
-Theia Research proposed to acquire 370.370 META tokens from the MetaDAO Treasury for $500,000 USDC at $1,350 per token, representing a 14% premium to spot price at proposal time. The tokens vest linearly over 12 months via Streamflow. Theia committed to active governance participation, research publication, roadshow support, and policy guidance as strategic value-add beyond capital.

 ## Market Data
 - **Outcome:** Passed
 - **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
- **Proposal Date:** 2025-01-27
- **Resolution Date:** 2025-01-30
+- **Proposal Created:** 2025-01-27
+- **Resolution:** 2025-01-30
 - **Deal Terms:** 370.370 META at $1,350/token = $500,000 USDC
 - **Premium:** 14% above spot price
 - **Vesting:** 12-month linear via Streamflow

 ## Significance
-This is MetaDAO's second attempt at a Theia OTC deal (first proposal failed). The 14% premium demonstrates investor willingness to pay above-market for strategic position in futarchy infrastructure. Theia's value-add proposition (governance participation, research, roadshows, policy guidance) represents a model for strategic investor relationships in futarchy-governed DAOs. The proposal includes portfolio company references from Kamino and Metaplex attesting to Theia's active involvement model.
+This is MetaDAO's second attempt at this OTC trade with Theia (first proposal failed). The proposal passed, demonstrating futarchy's ability to approve strategic fundraising with premium pricing when value-add justification is clear. Theia's commitment to active governance participation and research distribution addresses a key need for MetaDAO: sophisticated market participants who can provide liquidity and credibility to futarchy markets.

-MetaDAO leadership (Proph3t) noted the $500K would extend runway and enable experimentation with decision markets on non-futarchic proposals plus growth spending on content.
+The $500K capital injection was earmarked for hiring senior engineering talent, seeding liquidity on new markets, and expanding business development to onboard more DAOs. The premium pricing (14% above spot) suggests the market valued Theia's strategic contributions beyond pure capital.

The 14% premium and strategic investor model are factual transaction details, not claims about how futarchy works. All extractable content is entity data (decision_market record + timeline updates for MetaDAO and Theia).
