# MetaDAO: Fund META Market Making
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary & Connections
|
||||
|
||||
**META-035 — market making budget.** $1M USDC + 600K newly minted META (~2.8% of supply) for engaging market makers (Humidifi, Flowdesk, +1 TBD). Most META expected as loans (returned after 12 months). Covers retainers ($50-80K/month), USDC loans ($500K), META loans (300K), and CEX listing fees (up to 300K META). KPIs: >95% uptime, ~40% loan utilization depth at ±2%, <0.3% spread. 2/3 multisig: Proph3t, Kollan, Jure (Pileks). $14.6K volume, only 17 trades — the lowest engagement of any MetaDAO proposal.
|
||||
|
||||
**Outcome:** Passed (~Jan 2026).
|
||||
|
||||
**Connections:**
|
||||
- 17 trades / $14.6K volume is by far the lowest engagement on any MetaDAO proposal. The market barely traded this. Low engagement on operational proposals validates [[MetaDAOs futarchy implementation shows limited trading volume in uncontested decisions]] — when there's no controversy, the market provides a thin rubber stamp.
|
||||
- "Liquidity begets liquidity. Deeper books attract more participants" — the same liquidity constraint that motivated the Dutch auction ([[metadao-increase-meta-liquidity-dutch-auction]]) in 2024, now addressed through professional market makers
|
||||
- "We plan to strategically work with exchanges: we are aware that once you get one T1 exchange, the dominos start to fall more easily" — CEX listing strategy
|
||||
- "At the end of 12 months, unless contradicted via future proposal, all META would be burned and all USDC would be returned to the treasury" — the loan structure means this is temporary dilution, not permanent

## Full Proposal Text
|
||||
|
||||
**Type:** Operations Direct Action
|
||||
|
||||
**Author(s):** Kollan House, Arad
|
||||
|
||||
### Summary
|
||||
|
||||
We are requesting $1M and 600,000 newly minted META (~2.8% of supply) to engage market makers for the META token. Most of this is expected to be issued as loans rather than as a direct expense. This would cover at least the next 12 months.
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of 12 months, unless contradicted via future proposal, all META would be burned and all USDC would be returned to the treasury.
|
||||
|
||||
We plan to engage Humidifi, Flowdesk, and potentially one more market maker for the META/USDC pair.
|
||||
|
||||
This supply also allows for CEX listing fees, although we would negotiate those terms aggressively to ensure best utilization. How much is given to each exchange and market maker is at our discretion.
|
||||
|
||||
### Background
|
||||
|
||||
Liquidity begets liquidity. Deeper books attract more participants, and META requires additional liquidity to allow more participants to trade it. For larger investors, liquidity depth is a mandatory requirement for trading. Thin markets drive up slippage at scale.
|
||||
|
||||
Market makers can jumpstart this flywheel and is a key component of listing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Specifications
|
||||
|
||||
As stated in the overview, we reserve the right to negotiate deals as we see fit. That being said, we expect to pay $50k to $80k a month to retain market makers and give up to $500k in USDC and 300,000 META in loans to market makers. We could see spending up to 300,000 META to get listed on exchanges. KPIs for these market makers at a minimum would include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Uptime: >95%
|
||||
- Depth (±) <=2.00%: ~40% Loan utilization
|
||||
- Bid/Ask Spread: <0.3%
|
||||
- Monthly reporting
|
||||
|
||||
We plan to stick to the retainer model.
|
||||
|
||||
We also plan on strategically working with exchanges: we are aware that once you get one T1 exchange, the dominos start to fall more easily.
|
||||
|
||||
The USDC and META tokens will be transferred to a multisig `3fKDKt85rxfwT3A1BHjcxZ27yKb1vYutxoZek7H2rEVE` for the purposes outlined above. It is a 2/3 multisig with the following members:
|
||||
|
||||
- Proph3t
|
||||
- Kollan House
|
||||
- Jure (Pileks)

# MetaDAO: Omnibus Proposal - Migrate and Update
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary & Connections
|
||||
|
||||
**META-034 — the omnibus migration that created the current MetaDAO.** Five actions in one proposal: (1) sign amended Marshall Islands DAO Operating Agreement, (2) update Master Services Agreement with Organization Technology LLC, (3) migrate $11.2M USDC + authorities to new program v0.6.1, (4) move 90% of Meteora liquidity to FutarchyAMM, (5) burn 60K META. New DAO settings: 300bps pass threshold, -300bps team threshold, $240K/mo spending limit, 200K META stake required. $1.1M volume, 6.4K trades. Passed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Outcome:** Passed (~Jan 5, 2026).
|
||||
|
||||
**Connections:**
|
||||
- This is the URL format transition point: everything before this uses `v1.metadao.fi/metadao/trade/{id}`, everything after uses `metadao.fi/projects/metadao/proposal/{id}`
|
||||
- The -300bps team pass threshold is new and significant: team-sponsored proposals pass more easily than community proposals. "While futarchy currently favors investors, these new changes relieve some of the friction currently felt" by founders. This is a calibration of the mechanism's bias.
|
||||
- $11.2M USDC in treasury at migration time — the Q4 2025 revenue ($2.51M) plus the META-033 fundraise results
|
||||
- FutarchyAMM replaces Meteora as the primary liquidity venue — protocol now controls its own AMM infrastructure
|
||||
- The legal updates (Marshall Islands DAO Operating Agreement + MSA) align MetaDAO's legal structure with the newer ownership coin structures used by launched projects
|
||||
- 60K META burned — continuing the pattern from [[metadao-burn-993-percent-meta]], the DAO burns surplus supply rather than holding it

|
||||
|
||||
A new onchain DAO with the following settings:
|
||||
|
||||
- Pass threshold 300 bps
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Migrating liquidity from Meteora to FutarchyAMM
|
||||
|
||||
Amending the Marshall Islands DAO Operating Agreement
|
||||
|
||||
Modifying the existing Master Services Agreement between the Marshall Islands DAO and the Wyoming LLC
|
||||
|
||||
Burn 60k META tokens which were kept in trust for proposal creation and left over from the last fundraise.
|
||||
|
||||
The following will be executed upon passing of this proposal:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Sign the Amended Operating Agreement
|
||||
2. Sign the updated Master Services Agreement
|
||||
3. Migrate Balances and Authorities to New Program (and DAO)
|
||||
4. Provide Liquidity to New FutarchyAMM
|
||||
5. Burn 60k META tokens (left over from liquidity provisioning and the raise)
|
||||
|
||||
### Background
|
||||
|
||||
**Legal Structure**
|
||||
|
||||
When setting up the DAO LLC in early 2024, we did so with information on hand. As we have evolved, we have developed and adopted a more agile structure that better conforms with legal requirements and better supports futarchy. This is represented by the number of businesses launching using MetaDAO. MetaDAO must adopt these changes and this proposal accomplishes that.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, we are updating the existing Operating Agreement of the Marshall Islands DAO LLC (MetaDAO LLC) to align it with the existing operating agreements of the newest organizations created on MetaDAO.
|
||||
|
||||
We are also updating the Master Services Agreement between MetaDAO LLC and Organization Technology LLC. This updates the contracted services and agreement terms and conditions to reflect the more mature state of the DAO post revenue and to ensure arms length is maintained.
|
||||
|
||||
**Program And Settings**
|
||||
|
||||
We have updated our program to v0.6.1. This includes the FutarchyAMM and changes to proposal raising. To align MetaDAO with the existing Ownership Coins this proposal will cause the DAO to migrate to the new program and onchain account.
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal adopts the team based proposal threshold of -3%. This is completely configurable for future proposals and we believe that spearheading this new development is paramount to demonstrate to founders that, while futarchy currently favors investors, these new changes relieve some of the friction currently felt.
|
||||
|
||||
In parallel, the new DAO is configured with an increased spending limit. We will continue to operate with a small team and maintain a conservative spend, but front loaded legal cost, audits and integration fees mandate an increased flexible spend. This has been set at $240k per month, but the expected consistent expenditure is less. Unspent funds do not roll over.
|
||||
|
||||
By moving to the new program raising proposals will be less capital constrained, have better liquidity for conditional markets and bring MetaDAO into the next chapter of ownership coins.
|
||||
|
||||
**Authorities**
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal sets the update and mint authority to the new DAO within its instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Assets**
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal transfers the ~11M USDC to the new DAO within its instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
**Liquidity**
|
||||
|
||||
Upon passing, we'll remove 90% of liquidity from Meteora DAMM v1 and reestablish a majority of the liquidity under FutarchyAMM (under the control of the DAO).
|
||||
|
||||
**Supply**
|
||||
|
||||
We had a previous supply used to create proposals and an additional amount left over from the fundraise which was kept to ensure proposal creation. Given the new FutarchyAMM this 60k META supply is no longer needed and will be burned.

# MetaDAO: Sell up to 2M META at market price or premium?
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary & Connections
|
||||
|
||||
**META-033 — the fundraise that worked after the DBA/Variant deal failed.** Sell up to 2M newly minted META at market price or premium. Proph3t executes OTC sales with 30-day window. All USDC → treasury. Unsold META burned. Floor price: max(24hr TWAP, $4.80 = ~$100M mcap). Up to $400K/day in ATM (open market) sales, capped at $2M total ATM. Max total proceeds: $10M. All sales publicly broadcast within 24 hours. $1.1M volume, 4.4K trades. Passed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Outcome:** Passed (~Oct 2025).
|
||||
|
||||
**Connections:**
|
||||
- Direct response to [[metadao-vc-discount-rejection]] (META-032): "A previous proposal by DBA and Variant to OTC $6,000,000 of META failed, with the main feedback being that offering OTCs at a large discount is -EV for MetaDAO." The market rejected the discount deal and approved the at-market deal — consistent pattern.
|
||||
- "I would have ultimate discretion over any lockup and/or vesting terms" — Proph3t retained flexibility, unlike the rigid structures of earlier OTC deals. The market trusted the founder to negotiate case-by-case.
|
||||
- The $4.80 floor ($100M mcap) is a hard line: even if market crashes, no dilution below $100M. This protects existing holders against downside while allowing upside capture.
|
||||
- "All sales would be publicly broadcast within 24 hours" — transparency commitment. Every counterparty, size, and price disclosed. This is the open research model applied to capital formation.
|
||||
- This raise funded the Q4 2025 expansion that produced $2.51M in fee revenue — the capital was deployed effectively.

## Full Proposal Text
|
||||
|
||||
**Author:** Proph3t
|
||||
|
||||
A previous proposal by DBA and Variant to OTC $6,000,000 of META failed, with the main feedback being that offering OTCs at a large discount is -EV for MetaDAO.
|
||||
|
||||
We still need to raise money, and we've seen some demand from funds since this proposal, so I'm proposing that I (Proph3t) sell up to 2,000,000 META on behalf of MetaDAO at the market price or at a premium.
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution
|
||||
|
||||
The 2,000,000 META would be newly-minted.
|
||||
|
||||
I would have 30 days to sell this META. All USDC from sales would be deposited back into MetaDAO's treasury. Any unsold META would be burned.
|
||||
|
||||
I would source OTC counterparties for sales.
|
||||
|
||||
All sales would be publicly broadcast within 24 hours, including the counterparty, the size, and the price of the sale.
|
||||
|
||||
I would also have the option to sell up to $400,000 per day of META in ATM sales (into the open market, either with market or limit orders), up to a total of $2,000,000.
|
||||
|
||||
The maximum amount of total proceeds would be $10,000,000.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pricing
|
||||
|
||||
The minimum price of these OTCs would be the higher of:
|
||||
- the market price, calculated as a 24-hour TWAP at the time of the agreement
|
||||
- a price of $4.80, equivalent to a ~$100M market capitalization
|
||||
|
||||
That is, even if the market price dips below $100M, no OTC sales could occur below $100M. We may also execute at a price above these terms if there is sufficient demand.
|
||||
|
||||
### Lockups / vesting
|
||||
|
||||
I would have ultimate discretion over any lockup and/or vesting terms.

# Microdramas achieve commercial scale through conversion funnel architecture not narrative quality
|
||||
|
||||
Microdramas represent a format explicitly designed as 'less story arc and more conversion funnel' according to industry descriptions. The format uses 60-90 second vertical episodes structured around engineered cliffhangers with the pattern 'hook, escalate, cliffhanger, repeat.' Despite this absence of traditional narrative architecture, the format achieved $11B global revenue in 2025 (projected $14B in 2026), with ReelShort alone generating $700M revenue and 370M+ downloads. The US market reached 28M viewers by 2025. This demonstrates that engagement mechanics can substitute for narrative quality at commercial scale. The format originated in China (2018) and was formally recognized as a genre by China's NRTA in 2020, expanding internationally through platforms like ReelShort, FlexTV, DramaBox, and MoboReels. Revenue models use pay-per-episode or subscription with strong conversion on cliffhanger breaks. The explicit conversion funnel framing distinguishes this from traditional storytelling—creators and analysts openly describe the format using terms like 'conversion funnel' and 'hook architecture' rather than narrative terminology.

The revenue model (pay-per-episode or subscription with conversion on cliffhanger breaks) directly monetizes the engagement mechanics rather than narrative satisfaction. This demonstrates that engagement optimization can substitute for narrative quality at commercial scale, challenging assumptions about what drives entertainment consumption.

MIT Technology Review's April 2026 analysis identifies orbital capacity as a binding physical constraint distinct from economic or technical feasibility. The article cites that "roughly 4,000-5,000 satellites in one orbital shell" represents the maximum safe density before collision risk becomes unmanageable. Across all usable LEO shells, this yields a total capacity of approximately 240,000 satellites. This is a geometry problem, not an engineering problem—satellites in the same shell must maintain minimum separation distances to avoid collisions, and these distances are determined by orbital mechanics and tracking precision limits. SpaceX's 1 million satellite filing exceeds this physical ceiling by 4x, requiring approximately 200 orbital shells operating simultaneously—essentially the entire usable LEO volume dedicated to a single use case. Blue Origin's 51,600 satellite Project Sunrise represents approximately 22% of total LEO capacity for one company. Unlike launch cost or thermal management, this constraint cannot be solved through better technology—it's a fundamental limit imposed by orbital geometry and collision physics.

MIT Technology Review's technical assessment identifies a fundamental physical constraint on LEO constellation scale: approximately 4,000-5,000 satellites can safely operate in a single orbital shell before collision risk becomes unmanageable. Across all usable LEO shells, this creates a maximum capacity of roughly 240,000 satellites total. This is a geometry problem, not a technology or economics problem—you cannot fit more objects in these orbital volumes without catastrophic collision risk regardless of how cheap launches become or how sophisticated tracking systems are. SpaceX's 1 million satellite filing exceeds this physical ceiling by 4x, requiring approximately 200 orbital shells operating simultaneously (the entire usable LEO volume). Blue Origin's 51,600 satellite Project Sunrise represents approximately 22% of total LEO capacity for a single operator. This constraint is independent of and more binding than launch cadence, debris mitigation technology, or orbital coordination systems—it's pure spatial geometry.

# Orbital data center refrigeration requires novel architecture because standard cooling systems depend on gravity for fluid management and convection
|
||||
|
||||
Technical experts identified a fundamental engineering constraint for orbital data centers that goes beyond radiative cooling surface area: standard refrigeration systems rely on gravity-dependent mechanisms. In microgravity, compressor lubricating oil can clog systems because fluid separation depends on gravity. Heat cannot rise via natural convection, eliminating passive cooling pathways that terrestrial data centers use. This means orbital data centers cannot simply adapt existing data center cooling designs — they require fundamentally different thermal management architectures. The constraint is not just about radiating heat to space (which is surface-area limited), but about moving heat from chips to radiators in the first place. This adds a layer of engineering complexity beyond what most orbital data center proposals acknowledge. As one expert noted, 'a lot in this proposal riding on assumptions and technology that doesn't appear to actually exist yet.' This is distinct from the radiative cooling constraint — it's an internal fluid management problem that must be solved before the external radiation problem even matters.
|
||||
Standard terrestrial refrigeration systems face fundamental physics barriers in microgravity environments. Natural convection—where heat rises via density differences—does not occur in microgravity, eliminating passive heat transfer mechanisms. Compressor-based cooling systems rely on gravity to separate lubricating oil from refrigerant; in microgravity, oil can migrate and clog the system. This is distinct from the radiator scaling problem (which is about heat rejection to space) and represents a separate engineering challenge for the refrigeration cycle itself. Technical experts quoted in the FCC filing analysis noted that 'a lot in this proposal riding on assumptions and technology that doesn't appear to actually exist yet,' with refrigeration specifically called out as an unresolved problem. This suggests orbital data centers require either novel refrigeration architectures (possibly using capillary action, magnetic separation, or entirely different cooling cycles) or must operate without active refrigeration, relying solely on passive radiative cooling.

|
||||
|
||||
Amazon's FCC petition provides the most rigorous quantitative challenge to SpaceX's 1 million satellite orbital data center filing. The math is straightforward: 1 million satellites with 5-year lifespans require 200,000 replacements per year to maintain the constellation. Global satellite launch output in 2025 was under 4,600 satellites. This creates a 44x gap between required and achieved capacity. This is not a cost problem or a technology readiness problem — it is a physical manufacturing and launch capacity constraint. Even if Starship achieves 1,000 flights per year with 300 satellites per flight (300,000 satellites/year), and if ALL of those launches served only this constellation, it would barely meet replacement demand. As of March 2026, Starship is not flying 1,000 times per year. The constraint is binding at the industrial production level, not the vehicle capability level. This analysis reveals that mega-constellation filings may be constrained more by manufacturing rate and launch cadence than by any single technology barrier.

Amazon's FCC petition provides rigorous quantitative analysis of the physical constraints on SpaceX's 1 million satellite orbital data center constellation. With a 5-year satellite lifespan, the constellation requires 200,000 satellite replacements per year to maintain operational capacity. Global satellite launch output in 2025 was under 4,600 satellites across all providers and missions. This creates a 44x gap between required and achieved capacity. Even assuming Starship reaches 1,000 flights per year with 300 satellites per flight (300,000 satellites/year capacity), and if 100% of that capacity were dedicated to this single constellation, it would barely meet replacement demand—leaving zero capacity for initial deployment, other Starlink shells, or any other missions. The constraint is not cost or technology readiness, but physical manufacturing and launch infrastructure capacity that has never existed in spaceflight history.
