 ## Summary
 
-Sanctum's CLOUD-1 proposal (passed 2025-02-09) implements two governance mechanisms: (1) staked CLOUD (sCLOUD) with 30-day linearly vesting lockup as the base asset for futarchy participation, designed to mitigate Keynesian beauty contest dynamics by filtering for long-term holders, and (2) active staking rewards distributing 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply) over six months to participants based on (stake × time) × vote count with 10 USDC minimum trading volume per proposal.
-
-The proposal represents Sanctum's adoption of MetaDAO's Autocrat v0.3 futarchy infrastructure with custom extensions for staking and participation incentives. It plans biweekly governance cadence (1 week deliberation + 3 day voting) and explicitly delays transitioning to sCLOUD/USDC markets until users are comfortable with the mechanics.
+Sanctum's first governance proposal (CLOUD-1) passed on 2025-02-09, implementing two mechanisms: (1) CLOUD staking with 30-day linearly vesting lockup as the base asset for futarchy participation, designed to mitigate Keynesian beauty contest dynamics by incentivizing long-term holder participation, and (2) active staking rewards allocating 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply) over six months to participants based on (staked amount × time) × votes participated, with a 10 USDC minimum trading volume threshold per proposal.

-## Key Mechanisms
+## Mechanism Design
 
-**Staking Lockup:**
+**Staking Implementation:**
 - 30-day linearly vesting lockup (~3.3 CLOUD/day per 100 sCLOUD unstaked)
-- Designed to filter for long-term holders and reduce short-term speculation
-- Framed as solution to "primary potential failure mode of futarchy" (beauty contest)
+- Planned transition from CLOUD/USDC to sCLOUD/USDC markets (deferred initially due to user confusion)
+- Designed to filter for long-term holders and reduce speculative momentum trading
 
 **Active Staking Rewards:**
-- 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply) allocated over 6 months
-- Distribution formula: (staked CLOUD × time) × vote count
+- 30M CLOUD allocation (3% of total supply)
+- Two 15M tranches distributed quarterly
+- Rewards formula: (staked CLOUD × time) × number of votes participated
 - Minimum 10 USDC trading volume per proposal to qualify
-- Two 15M tranches, quarterly distribution, first ~3 months after passage
-- Voting tracked starting from CLOUD-2
+- First distribution ~3 months after passage
+- Proposal cadence: every two weeks (1 week deliberation + 3 day voting)
 
 ## Significance
 
-This proposal is significant for futarchy mechanism design because it introduces two novel extensions to the base Autocrat architecture: staking lockups as a beauty contest mitigation strategy and active rewards as a participation incentive. Both are theoretical mechanisms without empirical validation—the proposal represents a live experiment in whether these additions improve governance quality versus introducing new attack vectors (e.g., mercenary capital farming minimum rewards).
+This proposal represents the first major implementation of staking-gated futarchy markets on Solana, introducing two novel mechanisms to address known futarchy failure modes: beauty contest dynamics (via lockups) and low participation (via rewards). The staged rollout strategy—deferring sCLOUD markets until users are comfortable—demonstrates pragmatic adoption friction management.
 
-The staged rollout approach (delaying sCLOUD/USDC transition until users are comfortable) also reveals adoption friction in futarchy implementations, suggesting mechanism complexity requires gradual onboarding rather than immediate full deployment.
+The 30M CLOUD allocation (3% of supply) is substantial, indicating Sanctum's commitment to subsidizing governance participation as a public good rather than expecting pure market incentives to drive engagement.
