 # ISC (Inflation-Resistant Stablecoin)
 
 ## Overview
-ISC is a Solana-native stablecoin designed as an inflation-resistant alternative to USD-pegged stablecoins. Unlike traditional stablecoins pegged to the dollar, ISC is collateralized by a diversified basket of financial assets: 20% cash, 20% commodities, 20% treasuries, 20% bonds, and 20% equities. Launched at the Solana Hacker House in Ho Chi Minh City on 2023-03-17 at $1.545, ISC has appreciated to $1.81 as of late 2024.

Unlike traditional stablecoins pegged to $1.00, ISC is collateralized by a diversified basket of financial assets (20% each: cash, commodities, treasuries, bonds, equities) and launched at $1.545 on 2023-03-17. The project positions itself as a hedge against dollar devaluation for DAO treasuries and crypto holders.

 # MetaDAO: Swap $150,000 into ISC?
 
 ## Summary
-MetaDAO proposed converting $150,000 USDC (approximately 6.8% of its $2.2M treasury) into ISC, a Solana-native inflation-resistant stablecoin. The proposal aimed to hedge against USD devaluation while encouraging other DAOs to adopt similar treasury diversification strategies using MetaDAO's futarchy governance.
+MetaDAO proposed converting $150,000 USDC (approximately 6.8% of its $2.2M treasury) into ISC, a Solana-native inflation-resistant stablecoin. The proposal argued that holding USD exposes the DAO to devaluation risk (17.8% loss since 2020) and that ISC's basket-collateralized design (20% each: cash, commodities, treasuries, bonds, equities) provides better value preservation. The proposal failed.
 
 ## Market Data
 - **Outcome:** Failed
 - **Proposer:** @Richard_ISC (ISC team member)
-- **Proposal Account:** Gp3ANMRTdGLPNeMGFUrzVFaodouwJSEXHbg5rFUi9roJ
-- **Proposal Number:** 8
-- **Created:** 2024-10-30
-- **Completed:** 2024-11-03
-
-## Proposal Details
-The proposal called for executing a DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) order on Jupiter with the following parameters:
-- Amount: 150,000 USDC
-- To buy: ISC
-- Frequency: Every 1 hour
-- Total orders: 10
-- Min price: $1.70
-- Max price: $1.90
-
-## Rationale
-The proposal argued that holding USDC poses risk given USD devaluation (17.8% loss since 2020). ISC is collateralized by a diversified basket: 20% cash, 20% commodities, 20% treasuries, 20% bonds, 20% equities. ISC launched at $1.545 on 2023-03-17 and was trading at $1.81 at proposal time.
-
-The ISC team offered to use MetaDAO futarchy for part of ISC DAO governance once established, creating potential reciprocal relationship.
+- **Treasury Context:** MetaDAO held ~$2.2M USDC at proposal time
+- **Proposed Allocation:** 6.8% of treasury
+- **Execution Plan:** DCA order on Jupiter (10 orders over 10 hours, $15K each, price range $1.70-$1.90)
 
 ## Significance
-This proposal represents an attempt to use futarchy governance for treasury diversification into alternative stablecoins. The failure suggests MetaDAO token holders were either unconvinced by the inflation hedge thesis, concerned about ISC's smaller market presence compared to USDC, or skeptical of proposals from external parties with vested interest (ISC team member as proposer).
+This proposal represents an early test case for DAO treasury diversification into alternative stablecoins through futarchy governance. The failure suggests either:
+1. Market skepticism about ISC's value proposition relative to USDC
+2. Risk aversion to allocating treasury to a smaller, newer stablecoin
+3. Concerns about the proposer's conflict of interest (ISC team member)
 
-The proposal also illustrates futarchy's role in evaluating treasury management decisions with clear risk-reward tradeoffs.
+The proposal included a reciprocal governance commitment: ISC would use MetaDAO futarchy for its own governance decisions (removing freeze authority, basket composition changes), positioning this as a potential partnership rather than pure treasury management.
