 Coal's v0.6 migration sets minimum liquidity requirements of 1500 USDC and 2000 coal for proposals, with OTC buyer lined up to purchase dev fund tokens and seed the futarchy AMM. This shows the liquidity bootstrapping pattern extends beyond initial launch to governance upgrades, where projects must arrange capital to meet minimum depth requirements before migration.

+The proposal describes the bootstrapping mechanism: 'These types of proposals would also require that the proposer lock-up some initial liquidity, and set the starting price for the pass/fail markets. With this setup, liquidity would start low when the proposal is launched, someone would swap and move the AMM price to their preferred price, and then provide liquidity at that price since the fee incentives are high. Liquidity would increase over the duration of the proposal.'

+MetaDAO proposal CF9QUBS251FnNGZHLJ4WbB2CVRi5BtqJbCqMi47NX1PG quantifies the cost reduction: CLOB market pairs cost 3.75 SOL in state rent per proposal (135-225 SOL annually at 3-5 proposals/month), while AMMs cost 'almost nothing' in state rent. At January 2024 SOL prices ($85), this represents $11,475-$19,125 annual savings.

+The proposal identifies that 'estimating a fair price for the future value of MetaDao under pass/fail conditions is difficult, and most reasonable estimates will have a wide range. This uncertainty discourages people from risking their funds with limit orders near the midpoint price, and has the effect of reducing liquidity (and trading).' This is cited as 'the main reason for switching to AMMs.'

-The Dean's List DAO proposal passed futarchy governance despite requiring complex economic modeling (FDV calculations, TWAP projections, multi-step cash flow analysis) to evaluate. The proposal included detailed scenarios showing 5.33% FDV increase exceeding 3% TWAP requirements, but this level of financial sophistication creates evaluation barriers for typical token holders.
+The Dean's List proposal passed with detailed economic modeling showing 5.33% FDV increase versus 3% TWAP requirement, yet required extensive documentation (detailed price impact analysis, FDV projections, worked examples) to achieve passage. The proposal's complexity—explaining tax distribution, purchase mechanics, sell pressure calculations, and multi-step price impact scenarios—suggests that even economically favorable proposals face adoption friction from comprehension barriers.

Every time there is a swap, these metrics are updated/aggregated.' This creates a continuous aggregation mechanism rather than point-in-time measurement.

-The Dean's List DAO implemented a treasury buyback model where 80% of USDC revenue (2000 USDC per 2500 USDC dApp review) purchases $DEAN tokens distributed to DAO citizens, with 20% retained as USDC tax. The model assumes 80% of distributed tokens are immediately sold, creating net positive price action where 'buys exceeded sells by 20%' and 'the price will always achieve a higher low on each cycle.' With 400 USDC daily purchases against 500 USDC baseline volume (80% increase), they projected 24% upward price pressure offset by 15% downward pressure from citizen selling, yielding 5.33% FDV increase versus 3% TWAP requirement.
+The Dean's List DAO proposal demonstrates buyback mechanics with specific parameters: 20% DAO tax retained in USDC for treasury stability, 80% of revenue used to purchase governance tokens, with 80% of distributed tokens expected to be sold by recipients. The model projects net positive price action because buys exceed sells by 20% per cycle, creating 'higher lows' through systematic buy pressure that outweighs predictable sell pressure from token recipients liquidating for operational expenses.
