# MetaDAO: Appoint Nallok and Proph3t Benevolent Dictators for Three Months
## Summary
This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M) from proposal finalization through June 30, 2024, to accelerate MetaDAO's execution velocity while the futarchy proposal process remained too slow and costly for operational decisions. The proposal allocated 1,015 META and 100,000 USDC for four months of retroactive compensation (December-March) and three months of forward-looking compensation (April-June), averaging 145 META and $14,000 per month.
This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M) from proposal finalization through June 30, 2024, to accelerate MetaDAO's execution speed. The proposal allocated 1,015 META and 100,000 USDC to cover four months of retroactive compensation (December 2023 - March 2024) and three months of forward-looking compensation (April - June 2024), averaging 145 META and $14,000 per month.

## Significance
This proposal represents a critical governance transition where MetaDAO explicitly acknowledged that its futarchy mechanism was not yet mature enough to handle operational tempo, requiring a temporary reversion to centralized leadership. The proposers framed failure as decreasing MetaDAO's success probability by more than 20%, indicating this was viewed as an existential decision point. The compensation structure notably mentioned likely issuance in 5-year locked META form, establishing a long-term alignment mechanism.
This proposal represented a critical governance transition for MetaDAO, acknowledging that the futarchy proposal process was "too slow and costly" for operational decisions at that stage. The proposers estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's probability of success by more than 20%, framing it as an existential decision. The META tokens were likely issued in 5-year locked form, and funding came from multisigs rather than directly from the DAO treasury for technical reasons.

extraction_notes: "This is a governance decision entity, not a claim-generating source. The proposal contains no novel mechanism insights — it's a pragmatic operational decision acknowledging futarchy's immaturity for high-tempo decisions. The significance lies in MetaDAO explicitly reverting to centralized leadership as a temporary measure, which is captured in the entity record and timeline entry on the parent MetaDAO entity."
