# IslandDAO: Reward the University of Waterloo Blockchain Club with 1 Million $DEAN Tokens
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
|
Proposal to allocate 1 million $DEAN tokens (equivalent to $1,300 USDC at time of proposal) to the University of Waterloo Blockchain Club's 200 members. The proposal was structured as a conditional grant requiring a 5% increase in The Dean's List DAO's fully diluted valuation (from $115,655 to $121,438) measured over a 5-day trading period. The proposal passed, indicating market confidence that student engagement would drive sufficient value creation.

## Significance
|
|
|
|
|
This proposal demonstrates futarchy-governed talent acquisition and community grants. Rather than a simple token distribution, the proposal structured the grant as a conditional bet on whether university partnership would increase DAO valuation. The pass condition required measurable market impact (5% FDV increase) within a defined timeframe, making the grant accountable to token price performance rather than subjective governance approval.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The proposal's economic model calculated that each of 200 students needed to contribute activities worth ~$28.92 in FDV increase to justify the $1,300 investment. The market's decision to pass suggests traders believed student engagement (dApp reviews, testing, social promotion, development) would exceed this threshold.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This represents an early experiment in using futarchy for partnership and grant decisions, where traditional DAOs would use token-weighted voting without price accountability.
