-- **Resolution Date:** 2024-10-26
-- **Categories:** DAO, Treasury
+- **Proposal Account:** B82Dw1W6cfngH7BRukAyKXvXzP4T2cDsxwKYfxCftoC2
+- **Proposal Number:** 7
+- **Completed:** 2024-10-26
 
 ## Compensation Structure
-- **Fixed Token Allocation:** 237 META (1% of 23,705.7 total supply including co-founder allocations)
-- **Linear Unlocks:** 100% unlock at $5B market cap, proportional at lower caps (e.g., 10% at $500M)

+- **Cash:** $180,000/year (retroactive to October 16, 2024)
+- **Tokens:** 237 META (1% of 23,705.7 supply including founder allocations)
+- **Vesting:** 4-year cliff starting November 2024 (no tokens unlock before November 2028)
+- **Performance Unlocks:** Linear based on market cap ($5B = 100% unlock, $500M = 10% unlock)
+- **Clawback:** DAO can reclaim all tokens until July 2025 (8-month illiquid vest)

 ## Significance
-This proposal demonstrates MetaDAO's implementation of performance-based compensation aligned with long-term value creation. The structure eliminates immediate dilution while creating strong alignment through market cap-triggered unlocks. The 4-year minimum vesting and 8-month clawback period signal commitment to sustained execution over speculation.
+This hiring decision demonstrates MetaDAO's execution on its Fundraise #2 strategy to build a core San Francisco team. The compensation structure uses the same performance-based token vesting as co-founders, treating founding engineers as equity-equivalent stakeholders rather than employees. The 4-year cliff and 8-month clawback period signal long-term commitment requirements while the market-cap-based unlocks align incentives with protocol success rather than time served.
