# MetaDAO: Develop a Saber Vote Market?
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
Proposal to build a vote market platform for Saber's veSBR token holders, enabling them to earn yield by selling their governance votes while allowing projects to purchase liquidity more efficiently. The platform would be funded with $150K from ecosystem partners (UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, Saber) with MetaDAO owning 65% of the platform.
|
||||
Proposal to build a vote market for Saber's veSBR holders, funded by a $150k consortium of ecosystem teams (UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, Saber). MetaDAO would own the majority of the platform, with $62k allocated to development costs and $90k reserved for ongoing operations. The platform would enable veSBR holders to earn yield by selling their votes and allow projects to acquire liquidity more efficiently than through bespoke campaigns.

## Significance
|
||||
This proposal represents MetaDAO's pivot from the original Marinade vote market (Proposal 0) to Saber after Marinade developed an internal solution. It demonstrates MetaDAO's strategy of building governance infrastructure for DeFi protocols while generating revenue through take rates on vote trading volume. The proposal includes detailed financial modeling based on Curve/Convex/Aura comparables and emphasizes legitimacy-building through partnerships with established Solana projects.
|
||||
This proposal demonstrates MetaDAO's pivot from building its own vote market (Marinade, proposal 0) to providing futarchy-governed infrastructure as a service for other protocols. It shows MetaDAO's legitimacy-building strategy through partnerships with established Solana projects and represents an early test of the "futarchy as a service" model. The multi-party funding consortium structure ($150k from 4+ teams) validates external demand for MetaDAO's governance technology.

# Saber
|
||||
|
||||
Saber is a Solana-based decentralized exchange (DEX) focused on stablecoin and pegged asset trading. The protocol uses a vote-escrowed governance model (veSBR) where token holders lock SBR to gain governance rights over liquidity gauge emissions.
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
Saber is a Solana-based decentralized exchange focused on stablecoin and wrapped asset trading. The protocol uses a vote-escrowed token model (veSBR) where token holders lock SBR to gain governance rights over liquidity gauge emissions. As of December 2023, Saber had $20M in TVL and was planning to implement a vote market to enable veSBR holders to monetize their voting power.

No extractable claims - the proposal contains standard vote market mechanics already covered in existing KB claims about governance infrastructure and legitimacy-building."
|

extraction_notes: "This is a decision_market entity extraction, not a claim extraction. The proposal itself contains no novel mechanism insights - it applies existing vote market concepts (Curve/Convex/Votium model) to Saber. The value is in the governance event and the strategic pivot it represents for MetaDAO (from building own products to providing infrastructure as a service). Enrichments focus on operational complexity, multi-party coordination, and MetaDAO's evolving positioning. Created new entity for Saber as it's a significant Solana protocol with $20M TVL and ongoing relationship with MetaDAO."
