+# MetaDAO: Hire Advaith Sekharan as Founding Engineer
+
+## Summary
+Proposal to extend an offer to Advaith Sekharan for founding engineer role at $180,000 annual cash compensation and 237 META tokens (1% of supply excluding DAO holdings), with vesting terms matching co-founder allocations but starting November 2024. The compensation structure includes linear unlocks tied to market cap milestones ($500M = 10% unlock, $5B = 100% unlock) with a 4-year cliff (no tokens unlock before November 2028) and 8-month clawback period.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Passed
+- **Proposer:** Nallok, Proph3t
+- **Proposal Account:** B82Dw1W6cfngH7BRukAyKXvXzP4T2cDsxwKYfxCftoC2
+- **Proposal Number:** 7
+- **Completed:** 2024-10-26
+
+## Key Terms
+- **Fixed Token Allocation:** 237 META (1% of 23,705.7 supply including co-founder allocations)
+- **Linear Unlocks:** 100% at $5B market cap, proportional below (e.g., 10% at $500M)
+- **Market Cap Definition:** $1B = $42,198 per META
+- **Vesting Cliff:** No tokens unlock before November 2028 regardless of milestones
+- **Clawback Period:** DAO can reclaim all tokens until July 2025 (8 months)
+- **Start Date:** November 2024 for vesting; October 16, 2024 for retroactive salary
+
+## Significance
+This proposal demonstrates MetaDAO's execution on its San Francisco core team buildout strategy from Fundraise #2. The compensation structure mirrors co-founder terms, signaling equal treatment of early team members while maintaining long-term alignment through the 4-year cliff and performance-based unlocks. The 8-month illiquid vest with clawback provisions balances commitment verification against team member security.
