 ## Summary
 
-Sanctum's first governance proposal (CLOUD-1) implements two mechanisms to improve futarchy governance: (1) staked CLOUD (sCLOUD) with 30-day linearly vesting lockups as the base asset for conditional markets, designed to mitigate Keynesian beauty contest dynamics by selecting for long-term holders; (2) active staking rewards (ASR) distributing 30M CLOUD (3% of total supply) over six months to participants based on (stake × time) × (proposals participated in), with a 10 USDC minimum trading volume threshold per proposal.
+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 passed 2025-02-09 after a three-day voting period. Implementation is phased: staking and participation tracking begin immediately, but the transition from CLOUD/USDC to sCLOUD/USDC markets is delayed until users are comfortable with the mechanism.
+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.

-**Staking Lockups:**

+- 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)

-- 30M CLOUD total allocation (3% of supply)
-- Two 15M tranches distributed quarterly
-- Pro rata formula: (staked CLOUD × time) × (proposals participated in)

 ## Significance
 
-This is the first production implementation of staking lockups specifically designed to address futarchy's Keynesian beauty contest problem. The proposal explicitly theorizes that vesting lockups create selection effects where long-term aligned holders face lower opportunity cost than momentum traders, potentially improving prediction market accuracy.
+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).
 
-The active staking rewards mechanism addresses the free-rider problem in governance by making participation directly profitable, but introduces new questions about whether volume-based rewards attract genuine evaluation or mercenary capital.
-
-The phased rollout (tracking participation before enforcing sCLOUD markets) reveals adoption friction: even committed futarchy projects face user comprehension barriers that require gradual onboarding.
+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.
