# Research Session: Is the helium-3 quantum computing demand signal robust against technological alternatives?
## Research Question
**Is the quantum computing helium-3 demand signal robust enough to justify Interlune's extraction economics, or are concurrent He-3-free cooling technologies creating a demand substitution risk that limits the long-horizon commercial case?**
## Why This Question (Direction Selection)
Priority: **DISCONFIRMATION SEARCH** targeting Pattern 4 from session 2026-03-18.
Pattern 4 stated: "Helium-3 demand from quantum computing may reorder the cislunar resource priority — not just $300M/yr Bluefors but multiple independent buyers... a structural reason (no terrestrial alternative at scale) insulates He-3 price from competition in ways water-for-propellant cannot."
The disconfirmation target: **what if terrestrial He-3-free alternatives are maturing faster than Pattern 4 assumes?** If DARPA is urgently funding He-3-free cooling, if Chinese scientists are publishing He-3-free solutions in Nature, and if Interlune's own customers are launching dramatically more efficient systems — the demand case may be temporally bounded rather than structurally durable.
Also checking NEXT flags: NG-3 launch result, Starship Flight 12 status.
**Tweet file was empty this session** — all research conducted via web search.
## Keystone Belief Targeted for Disconfirmation
Belief #1 (launch cost keystone) — tested indirectly through Pattern 4. If He-3 creates a viable cislunar resource market *before* Starship achieves sub-$100/kg, it suggests alternative attractor entry points. But if the He-3 demand case is temporally bounded, the long-horizon attractor still requires cheap launch as the keystone.
## Key Findings
### 1. Maybell ColdCloud — Interlune's Own Customer Is Reducing He-3 Demand per Qubit by 80%
**Date: March 13, 2026.** Maybell Quantum (one of Interlune's supply customers) launched ColdCloud — a distributed cryogenic architecture that delivers 90% less electricity, 90% less cooling water, and **up to 80% less He-3 per qubit** than equivalent legacy dilution refrigerators. Cooldown in hours vs. days. First system going online late 2026.
Maybell STILL has the He-3 supply agreement with Interlune (thousands of liters, 2029-2035). They didn't cancel it — but they dramatically reduced per-qubit consumption while scaling up qubit count.
**The structural tension:** If quantum computing deploys 100x more qubits by 2035 but each qubit requires 80% less He-3, net demand grows roughly 20x rather than 100x. The demand curve looks different from a naive "quantum computing scales = He-3 scales" projection.
CLAIM CANDIDATE: "Maybell ColdCloud's 80% per-qubit He-3 reduction while maintaining supply contracts with Interlune demonstrates that efficiency improvements and demand growth are partially decoupled — net He-3 demand may grow much slower than quantum computing deployment suggests."
### 2. DARPA Urgent Call for He-3-Free Cryocoolers — January 27, 2026
DARPA issued an **urgent** call for proposals on January 27, 2026 to develop modular, He-3-free sub-kelvin cooling systems. The word "urgent" signals a US defense assessment that He-3 supply dependency is a strategic vulnerability.
**This is geopolitically significant:** If the US military is urgently seeking He-3-free alternatives, it means:
- He-3 supply risk is officially recognized at the DARPA level
- Government quantum computing installations will preferentially adopt He-3-free systems when available
- The defense market (a large fraction of He-3 demand) will systematically exit the He-3 supply chain as alternatives mature
The DARPA call prompted rapid responses within weeks, suggesting the research community was primed.
CLAIM CANDIDATE: "DARPA's urgent He-3-free cryocooler call (January 2026) signals that US defense quantum computing will systematically transition away from He-3 as alternatives mature, reducing a major demand segment independent of commercial quantum computing trends."
### 3. Chinese EuCo2Al9 Alloy — He-3-Free ADR Solution in Nature, February 2026
Chinese researchers published a rare-earth alloy (EuCo2Al9, ECA) in Nature less than two weeks after DARPA's January 27 call. The alloy uses adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) — solid-state, no He-3 required. Key properties: giant magnetocaloric effect, high thermal conductivity, potential for mass production.
**Caveat:** ADR systems typically reach ~100mK-500mK; superconducting qubits need ~10-25mK. Current ADR systems may not reach operating temperatures without He-3 pre-cooling. The ECA alloy is lab-stage, not commercially deployable.
But: The speed of Chinese response to DARPA's call and the Nature-quality publication suggests this is a well-resourced research direction. China has strategic incentive (reducing dependence on He-3 from aging Russian/US tritium stocks) and rare-earth resource advantages for ADR materials.
**What surprised me:** The strategic dimension — China has rare-earth advantages for ADR that the US doesn't. He-3-free ADR using abundant rare earths plays to China's resource strengths. This is a geopolitical hedge, not just a scientific development.
### 4. Kiutra — He-3-Free Systems Already Commercially Deployed (October 2025)
Kiutra (Munich) raised €13M in October 2025 to scale commercial production of He-3-free ADR cryogenics. Key point: these systems are **already deployed** worldwide at research institutions, quantum startups, and corporates. NATO and EU have flagged He-3 supply chain risk. Kiutra reached sub-kelvin temperatures via ADR without He-3.
This undermines the "no terrestrial alternative at scale" framing from Pattern 4. The alternative already exists and is being adopted. The question is whether it reaches data-center scale quantum computing reliability requirements before Interlune starts delivering.
**What I expected but didn't find:** Kiutra's systems appear to reach lower temperatures than I expected (sub-kelvin), but I couldn't confirm they reach the 10-25mK required for superconducting qubits. ADR typically bottoms out higher. This is the key technical limitation I need to investigate — if Kiutra reaches 100mK but not 10mK, it's not a direct substitute for dilution refrigerators.
### 5. Zero Point Cryogenics PSR — 95% He-3 Volume Reduction, Spring 2026 Deployment
Zero Point Cryogenics (Edmonton) received a US patent for its Phase Separation Refrigerator (PSR) — first new mechanism for continuous cooling below 800mK in 60 years. Uses only 2L of He-3 vs. 40L in legacy systems (95% reduction), while maintaining continuous cooling. Deploying to university and government labs in Spring 2026.
The PSR still uses He-3 but dramatically reduces consumption. It's a demand efficiency technology, not a He-3 eliminator.
### 6. Prospect Moon 2027 — Equatorial Not Polar (New Finding)
The Interlune 2027 mission is called "Prospect Moon." Critically: it targets **equatorial near-side**, NOT polar regions. The mission will sample regolith, process it, and measure He-3 via mass spectrometer to "prove out where the He-3 is and that their process for extracting it will work effectively."
**Why this matters:** Equatorial He-3 concentration is ~2 mg/tonne (range 1.4-50 ppb depending on solar exposure and soil age). Polar regions might have enhanced concentrations from different solar wind history, but the 50ppb figure was speculative. The equatorial near-side is chosen because landing is reliable (proven Apollo sites) — but Interlune is trading off concentration for landing reliability.
**The economics concern:** If equatorial concentrations are at the low end (~1.4-2 ppb), the economics of Interlune's 100 tonnes/hour excavator at commercial scale are tighter than polar projections assumed. The 2027 Prospect Moon will be the first real ground truth on whether extraction economics close at equatorial concentrations.
CLAIM CANDIDATE: "Interlune's 2027 Prospect Moon mission targets equatorial near-side rather than higher-concentration polar regions, trading He-3 concentration for landing reliability — this means the mission will characterize the harder extraction case, and positive results would actually be more credible than polar results would have been."
### 7. Interlune's $500M+ Contracts, $5M SAFE, and Excavator Phase Milestone
Interlune reports $500M+ in total purchase orders and government contracts. But their 2026 fundraising was a $5M SAFE (January 2026) — modest for a company with $500M in contracts. This suggests they're staged on milestones: excavator phase wrapping mid-2026, Griffin-1 camera launch July 2026, then potentially a Series A contingent on those results.
The excavator (full-scale prototype built with Vermeer) is being tested, with mid-2026 results determining follow-on funding. **The commercial development is milestone-gated, not capital-racing.**
### 8. NEXT Flag Updates — NG-3 and Starship Flight 12
**NG-3 (Blue Origin):** Payload encapsulated February 19. Targeting late February/early March 2026. No launch result found in search results as of research date — still pending. AST SpaceMobile BlueBird 7 at stake. "Without Blue Origin launches AST SpaceMobile will not have usable service in 2026" — high stakes for both parties.
**Starship Flight 12 (SpaceX):** Targeting April 9, 2026 (April 7-9 window). Ship 39 completed 3 cryo tests. First V3 configuration: 100+ tonnes to LEO (vs V2's ~35 tonnes). Raptor 3 at 280t thrust. This is NOT just an operational milestone — V3's 3x payload capacity changes Starship economics significantly. Watch for actual flight data on whether V3 specs translate to performance.
**Varda:** W-5 confirmed success (Jan 29, 2026). Series C $187M closed. AFRL IDIQ through 2028. No W-6 info found — company appears to be in a "consolidation and cadence" phase rather than announcing specific upcoming flights.
**Commercial stations:** Haven-1 (Vast) slipped to 2027 (was 2026). Orbital Reef (Blue Origin) facing delays and funding questions. Pattern 2 (institutional timelines slipping) continues to hold across every commercial station program.
## Belief Impact Assessment
**Pattern 4 (He-3 as first viable cislunar resource product): SIGNIFICANTLY QUALIFIED.**
The near-term demand case (2029-2035) looks real — contracts exist, buyers committed. But:
- DARPA urgently seeking He-3-free alternatives (government quantum computing will systematically exit He-3)
- Kiutra already commercially deployed with He-3-free systems
- Maybell ColdCloud: Interlune's own customer reducing per-qubit demand 80%
- EuCo2Al9: Another He-3-free path, Chinese-resourced, published in Nature
The pattern requires refinement: "He-3 has terrestrial demand NOW" is true for 2029-2035. But "no terrestrial alternative at scale" is FALSE — Kiutra is already deployed. The distinction is commercial maturity for data-center-scale quantum computing, which is 2028-2032 horizon.
**Pattern 4 revised:** He-3 demand from quantum computing is real and contracted for 2029-2035, but is facing concurrent efficiency (80% per-qubit reduction) and substitution (He-3-free ADR commercially available) pressures that could plateau demand before Interlune achieves commercial extraction scale. The 5-7 year viable window at $20M/kg is consistent with this analysis.
**Belief #1 (launch cost keystone):** UNCHANGED. The He-3 demand story is interesting but doesn't challenge the launch cost keystone framing — He-3 economics depend on getting hardware to the lunar surface, which is a landing reliability problem, not a launch cost problem (lunar orbit is already achievable via Falcon Heavy). Belief #1 remains intact.
**Pattern 5 (landing reliability as independent bottleneck):** REINFORCED. Interlune's choice of equatorial near-side for Prospect Moon 2027 (lower concentration but more reliable landing) directly evidences that landing reliability is an independent co-equal constraint on lunar ISRU.
## New Claim Candidates
1. **"The helium-3 quantum computing demand case is temporally bounded: 2029-2035 contracts are likely sound, but concurrent He-3-free alternatives (DARPA program, Kiutra commercial deployments, EuCo2Al9 alloy) and per-qubit efficiency improvements (ColdCloud: 80% reduction) create a technology substitution risk that limits demand growth beyond 2035."** (confidence: experimental — demand real, substitution risk is emerging but unconfirmed at scale)
2. **"Maybell ColdCloud's 80% per-qubit He-3 reduction while maintaining supply agreements demonstrates that efficiency improvements and demand growth are decoupled — net He-3 demand may grow much slower than quantum computing deployment scale suggests."** (confidence: experimental — the efficiency claim is Maybell's own, the demand implication is my analysis)
3. **"Interlune's 2027 Prospect Moon mission at equatorial near-side rather than polar He-3 concentrations reveals the landing reliability tradeoff — the company is proving the process at lower concentrations to reduce landing risk, and positive results would be stronger evidence than polar extraction would have been."** (confidence: likely — this characterizes the design choice accurately based on mission description)
## Follow-up Directions
### Active Threads (continue next session)
- [He-3-free ADR temperature floor]: Can Kiutra/DARPA alternatives actually reach 10-25mK (superconducting qubit requirement) or do they plateau at ~100-500mK? This is the decisive technical question — if ADR can't reach operating temperatures without He-3 pre-cooling, the substitution risk is 10-15 years away not 5-7 years. HIGH PRIORITY.
- [Griffin-1 July 2026 — He-3 camera + LunaGrid-Lite]: Did it launch? Did it land successfully? What He-3 concentration data did it return? This is the next binary gate for Interlune's timeline.
- [NG-3 actual launch result]: Still pending as of this session. Refly of "Never Tell Me The Odds" — did it succeed? Turnaround time? This validates Blue Origin's reuse economics.
- [Starship Flight 12 April 9]: Did it launch? V3 performance vs. specs? 100+ tonnes to LEO validation is the largest single enabling condition update for the space economy.
- [Prospect Moon 2027 lander selection]: Which lander does Interlune use for the equatorial near-side mission? If it's CLPS (e.g., Griffin), landing reliability is the critical risk. If they're working with a non-CLPS partner, that changes the risk profile.
### Dead Ends (don't re-run these)
- [He-3 for fusion energy as demand driver]: Still not viable. At $20M/kg, fusion energy economics don't close by orders of magnitude. Prior session confirmed this — don't revisit.
- [EuCo2Al9 as near-term He-3 replacement]: The Nature paper shows the alloy reaches sub-kelvin via ADR, but the 10-25mK requirement for superconducting qubits is not confirmed met. Don't assume this is a near-term substitute until the temperature floor is confirmed.
- [Heat-based He-3 extraction]: Confirmed impractical (12MW scale). Prior session confirmed. Interlune's non-thermal route is the only credible path. Don't revisit.
### Branching Points (one finding opened multiple directions)
- [ADR technology temperature floor]: Direction A — if ADR can reach 10-25mK without He-3 pre-cooling, the substitution risk is real and near-term (5-8 years). Direction B — if ADR can only reach 100-500mK, it needs He-3 pre-cooling, and the substitution risk is longer-horizon (15-20 years). Pursue A first (the more disconfirming direction).
- [DARPA He-3-free program outcomes]: Direction A — if DARPA program produces deployable systems by 2028-2029, the defense quantum market exits He-3 before Interlune begins deliveries. Direction B — if DARPA program takes 10+ years to deployable systems, the near-term defense market remains He-3-dependent. The urgency of the call suggests they want results in 2-4 years.
- [Maybell ColdCloud and dilution refrigerators]: Direction A — ColdCloud still uses dilution refrigeration (He-3 based), just much more efficiently. This means Maybell's He-3 supply agreement is genuine, but demand grows slower than qubit count. Direction B — follow up: what is Maybell's plan after 2035? Are they investing in He-3-free R&D alongside the supply agreement?
### ROUTE (for other agents)
- [DARPA He-3-free cryocooler program] → **Theseus**: AI accelerating quantum computing development is a Theseus domain. DARPA's urgency suggests quantum computing scaling is hitting supply chain limits. Does AI hardware progress depend on He-3 supply?
- [Chinese EuCo2Al9 ADR response to DARPA call] → **Leo**: Geopolitical dimension — China has rare-earth material advantages for ADR systems. China developing He-3-free alternatives to reduce dependence on US/Russia tritium stockpiles. This is a strategic minerals / geopolitics question.
- [Interlune $500M+ contracts, $5M SAFE, milestone-gated development] → **Rio**: Capital formation dynamics for lunar resources. How does milestone-gated financing interact with the demand uncertainty? Interlune's risk profile is demand-bounded (contracts in hand) but technology-gated (extraction unproven).

## Session 2026-03-19
**Question:** Is the helium-3 quantum computing demand signal robust against technological alternatives, or are concurrent He-3-free cooling technologies creating a demand substitution risk that limits the long-horizon commercial case?
**Belief targeted:** Pattern 4 (He-3 as first viable cislunar resource product, "no terrestrial alternative at scale"). Indirectly targets Belief #1 (launch cost keystone) — if He-3 creates a pre-Starship cislunar resource market via a different entry point, the keystone framing gains nuance.
**Disconfirmation result:** Significant partial disconfirmation of Pattern 4's durability. Three concurrent technology pressures found:
1. **Substitution:** Kiutra (He-3-free ADR) already commercially deployed worldwide at research institutions. EuCo2Al9 China Nature paper (Feb 2026) — He-3-free ADR alloy with rare-earth advantages. DARPA issued *urgent* call for He-3-free cryocoolers (January 27, 2026).
2. **Efficiency compression:** Maybell ColdCloud (March 13, 2026) — Interlune's own customer launching 80% per-qubit He-3 reduction. ZPC PSR — 95% He-3 volume reduction, deploying Spring 2026.
3. **Temporal bound from industry analysts:** "$20M/kg viable for 5-7 years" for quantum computing He-3 demand — analysts already framing this as a time-limited window, not a structural market.
Contracts for 2029-2035 look solid (Bluefors, Maybell, DOE, $500M+ total). The near-term demand case is NOT disconfirmed. But Pattern 4's "no terrestrial alternative at scale" premise is false — Kiutra is already deployed — and demand growth is likely slower than qubit scaling because efficiency improvements decouple per-qubit demand from qubit count.
**Key finding:** Pattern 4 requires qualification: "He-3 demand is real and contracted for 2029-2035, but is temporally bounded — concurrent efficiency improvements (ColdCloud: 80% per qubit) and He-3-free alternatives (Kiutra commercial, DARPA program) create substitution risk that limits demand growth after 2035." The 5-7 year viable window framing is consistent with Interlune's delivery timeline, which is actually reassuring for the near-term case.
New finding: **Interlune's Prospect Moon 2027 targets equatorial near-side, not south pole.** Trading He-3 concentration for landing reliability. This directly evidences Pattern 5 (landing reliability as independent bottleneck) — the extraction site selection is shaped by landing risk, not only resource economics.
**Pattern update:**
- Pattern 4 SIGNIFICANTLY QUALIFIED: He-3 demand is real but temporally bounded (2029-2035 window) with substitution and efficiency pressures converging on the horizon.
- Pattern 5 REINFORCED: Interlune's equatorial near-side mission choice is direct engineering evidence of landing reliability shaping ISRU site selection.
- Pattern 2 CONFIRMED again: Commercial stations — Haven-1 slipped to 2027 (again), Orbital Reef facing funding concerns.
- Pattern 7 (NEW): He-3 demand substitution is geopolitically structured — DARPA seeks He-3-free to eliminate supply vulnerability; China develops He-3-free using rare-earth advantages to reduce US/Russia tritium dependence. Two independent geopolitical pressures both pointing at He-3 demand reduction.
**Confidence shift:**
- Pattern 4 (He-3 as first viable cislunar resource): WEAKENED in long-horizon framing. Near-term contracts look sound. Post-2035 structural demand uncertain.
- Pattern 5 (landing reliability bottleneck): STRENGTHENED by Interlune's equatorial choice.
- Belief #1 (launch cost keystone): UNCHANGED. He-3 economics are not primarily gated by launch cost — Falcon Heavy gets to lunar orbit already. Landing reliability and extraction technology are the independent gates for lunar surface resources.
- "Water is keystone cislunar resource" claim: MAINTAINED for in-space operations. He-3 demand is for terrestrial buyers only, which makes it a different market segment.

# Research Session — 2026-03-19: Testing the Krier Bifurcation
## Context
Tweet file empty again (1 byte, 0 content) — same as last session. Pivoted immediately to KB queue sources, as planned in the previous session's dead ends note. Specifically pursued Krier Direction B: the "success case" for AI-enabled coordination in non-catastrophic domains.
---
## Disconfirmation Target
**Keystone belief:** "Technology is outpacing coordination wisdom." (Belief 1)
**What would disconfirm it:** Evidence that AI tools are improving coordination capacity at comparable or faster rates than AI capability is advancing. Last session found this doesn't hold for catastrophic risk domains. This session tests whether Choudary's commercial coordination evidence closes the gap.
**Specific disconfirmation target:** The Choudary HBR piece ("AI's Big Payoff Is Coordination, Not Automation") — if AI demonstrably improves coordination at scale in commercial domains, that's real disconfirmation at one level. The question is whether it reaches the existential risk layer.
**What I searched:** Choudary (HBR Feb 2026), Brundage et al. (AAL framework Jan 2026), METR/AISI evaluation practice (March 2026), CFR governance piece (March 2026), Strategy International investment-oversight gap (March 2026), Hosanagar deskilling interventions (Feb 2026).
---
## What I Found
### Finding 1: Choudary Is Genuine Disconfirmation — At the Commercial Level
Choudary's HBR argument is the strongest disconfirmation candidate I've encountered. The core claim: AI reduces "translation costs" — friction in coordinating disparate teams, tools, systems — without requiring standardization. Concrete evidence:
- **Trunk Tools**: integrates BIM, spreadsheets, photos, emails, PDFs into unified project view. Teams maintain specialized tools; AI handles translation. Real coordination gain in construction.
- **Tractable**: disrupted CCC Intelligent Solutions by using AI to interpret smartphone photos of vehicle damage. Sidestepped standardization requirements. $7B in insurance claims processed by 2023.
- **project44** (logistics): AI as ecosystem-wide coordination layer, without requiring participants to standardize their systems.
This is real. AI demonstrably improving coordination in commercial domains — not as a theoretical promise, but as a deployed phenomenon. Choudary's framing: "AI eliminates the standardization requirement by doing the translation dynamically."
This partially disconfirms Belief 1. At the commercial level, AI is a coordination multiplier. The gap between technology capability and coordination capacity is narrowing (not widening) for commercial applications.
But: Choudary's framing also reveals something about WHY the catastrophic risk domain is different.
### Finding 2: The Structural Irony — The Same Property That Enables Commercial Coordination Resists Governance Coordination
Choudary's insight: AI achieves coordination by operating across heterogeneous systems WITHOUT requiring those systems to agree on standards or provide information about themselves. AI translates; the source systems don't change or cooperate.
Now apply this to AI safety governance. Brundage et al.'s AAL framework (28+ authors, 27 organizations, including Yoshua Bengio) describes the ceiling of frontier AI evaluation:
- **AAL-1**: Current peak practice. Voluntary-collaborative — labs invite METR and share information. The evaluators require lab cooperation.
- **AAL-2**: Near-term goal. Greater access to non-public information, less reliance on company statements.
- **AAL-3/4**: Deception-resilient verification. Currently NOT technically feasible.
The structural problem: AI governance requires AI systems/labs to PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THEMSELVES. But AI systems don't cooperate with external data extraction the way Trunk Tools can read a PDF. The voluntary-collaborative model fails because labs can simply not invite METR. The deception-resilient model fails because we can't verify what labs tell us.
**The structural irony:** The same property that makes Choudary's coordination work — AI operating across systems without requiring their agreement — is the property that makes AI governance intractable. AI can coordinate others because they don't have to consent. AI can't be governed because governance requires AI systems/labs to consent to disclosure.
This is not just a governance gap. It's a MECHANISM for why the gap is asymmetric and self-reinforcing.
CLAIM CANDIDATE: "AI improves commercial coordination by eliminating the need for consensus between specialized systems, but this same property — operating without requiring agreement from the systems it coordinates — makes AI systems difficult to subject to governance coordination, creating a structural asymmetry where AI's coordination benefits are realizable while AI coordination governance remains intractable."
- Confidence: experimental
- Grounding: Choudary translation-cost reduction (commercial success), Brundage AAL-3/4 infeasibility (governance failure), METR/AISI voluntary-collaborative model (governance limitation), Theseus governance tier list (empirical pattern)
- Domain: grand-strategy (cross-domain synthesis — mechanism for the tech-governance bifurcation)
- Related: [[technology advances exponentially but coordination mechanisms evolve linearly]], [[only binding regulation with enforcement teeth changes frontier AI lab behavior]]
- Boundary: "Commercial coordination" refers to intra-firm and cross-firm optimization for agreed commercial objectives. "Governance coordination" refers to oversight of AI systems' safety, alignment, and capability. The mechanism may not generalize to other technology governance domains without verifying similar asymmetry.
### Finding 3: AISI Renaming as Governance Priority Signal
METR/AISI source (March 2026) noted: the UK's AI Safety Institute has been renamed to the AI Security Institute. This is not cosmetic. It signals a shift in the government's mandate from existential safety risk to near-term cybersecurity threats.
The only government-funded frontier AI evaluation body is pivoting away from alignment-relevant evaluation toward cybersecurity evaluation. This means:
- The evaluation infrastructure for existential risk weakens
- The capability-governance gap in the most important domain (alignment) widens
- This is not a voluntary coordination failure — it's a state actor reorienting its safety infrastructure
This independently confirms the CFR finding: "large-scale binding international agreements on AI governance are unlikely in 2026" (Michael Horowitz, CFR fellow). International coordination failing + national safety infrastructure pivoting = compounding governance gap.
### Finding 4: Hosanagar Provides Historical Verification Debt Analogues
The previous session's active thread: "Verification gap mechanism — needs empirical footings: Are there cases where AI adoption created irreversible verification debt?" The Hosanagar piece provides exactly what I was looking for.
Three cross-domain cases of skill erosion from automation:
1. **Aviation**: Air France 447 (2009) — pilots lost manual flying skills through automation dependency. 249 dead. FAA then mandated regular manual practice sessions.
2. **Medicine**: Endoscopists using AI for polyp detection dropped from 28% to 22% adenoma detection without AI (Lancet Gastroenterology data).
3. **Education**: Students with unrestricted GPT-4 access underperformed control group once access was removed.
The pattern: verification debt accumulates gradually → it becomes invisible (because AI performance masks it) → a catalyzing event exposes the debt → regulatory mandate follows (if the domain is high-stakes enough to justify it).
For aviation, the regulatory mandate came after 249 people died. The timeline: problem accumulates, disaster exposes it, regulation follows years later. AI deskilling in medicine has no equivalent disaster yet → no regulatory mandate yet.
This is the "overshoot-reversion" pattern from last session's synthesis, but with an important addition: **the reversion mechanism is NOT automatic**. It requires:
a) A visible catastrophic failure event
b) High enough stakes to warrant regulatory intervention
c) A workable regulatory mechanism (FAA can mandate training hours; who mandates AI training hours?)
For the technology-coordination gap at civilizational scale, the "catalyzing disaster" scenario is especially dangerous because the failures in AI governance may not produce visible, attributable failures — they may produce diffuse, slow-motion failures that never trigger the reversion mechanism.
### Finding 5: The $600B Signal — Capital Allocation as Coordination Mechanism Failure
Strategy International data: $600B Sequoia gap between AI infrastructure investment and AI earnings, 63% of organizations lacking governance policies. This adds to last session's capital misallocation thread.
The $600B gap means firms are investing in capability without knowing how to generate returns. The 63% governance gap means most of those firms are also not managing the risks. Both are coordination failures at the organizational level — but they're being driven by a market selection that rewards speed over deliberation.
This connects to the Choudary finding in an unexpected way: Choudary argues firms are MISALLOCATING into automation when they should be investing in coordination applications. The $600B gap is the consequence: automation investments fail (95% enterprise AI pilot failure, MIT NANDA) while coordination investments are underexplored. The capital allocation mechanism is misfiring because firms can't distinguish automation value from coordination value.
---
## Disconfirmation Result
**Belief 1 survives — but now requires a scope qualifier.**
What Choudary shows: in commercial domains, AI IS a coordination multiplier. The gap is not universally widening. In intra-firm and cross-firm commercial coordination, AI reduces friction, eliminates standardization requirements, and demonstrably improves performance. Trunk Tools, Tractable, project44 are real.
What the Brundage/METR/AISI/CFR evidence shows: for coordination OF AI systems at the governance level, the gap is widening — and Belief 1 holds fully. AAL-3/4 is technically infeasible. Voluntary frameworks fail. AISI is pivoting from safety to security. International binding agreements are unlikely.
**Revised scope of Belief 1:**
"Technology is outpacing coordination wisdom" is fully true for: coordination GOVERNANCE of technology itself (AI safety, alignment, capability oversight). It is partially false for: commercial coordination USING technology (where AI as a coordination tool is genuine progress).
This is not a disconfirmation. It's a precision improvement. The existential risk framing — why the Fermi Paradox matters, why great filters kill civilizations — is about the first category. That's where Belief 1 matters most, and that's where it holds strongest.
**The structural irony is the mechanism:**
AI is simultaneously the technology that most needs to be governed AND the technology that is structurally hardest to govern — because the same property that makes it a powerful coordination tool (operating without requiring consent from coordinated systems) makes it resistant to governance coordination (which requires consent/disclosure from the governed system).
**Confidence shift:** Belief 1 slightly narrowed in scope (good: more precise) and strengthened mechanistically. The structural irony claim is the new mechanism for WHY the catastrophic risk domain is specifically where the gap widening is concentrated.
**New "challenges considered" for Belief 1:**
Choudary evidence demonstrates that AI is a genuine coordination multiplier in commercial domains. The belief should note this boundary: the gap widening is concentrated in coordination governance domains (safety, alignment, geopolitics), not in commercial coordination domains. Scope qualifier: "specifically for coordination governance of transformative technologies, where the technology that needs governing is the same class of technology as the tools being used for coordination."
---
## Follow-up Directions
### Active Threads (continue next session)
- **The structural irony claim needs historical analogues**: Nuclear technology improved military coordination (command and control) but required nuclear governance architecture (NPT, IAEA, export controls). Does nuclear exhibit the same structural asymmetry — technology that improves coordination in one domain while requiring external governance in another? If yes, the pattern generalizes. If no, AI's case is unique. Look for: nuclear arms control history, specifically whether the coordination improvements from nuclear technology created any cross-over benefit for nuclear governance.
- **Choudary's "coordination without consensus" at geopolitical scale**: Can AI reduce translation costs between US/China/EU regulatory frameworks — enabling cross-border AI coordination without requiring consensus? If yes, this is a Krier Direction B success case at geopolitical scale. If no, the commercial-to-governance gap holds. Look for: any case of AI reducing regulatory/diplomatic friction between incompatible legal/governance frameworks.
- **Hosanagar's "reliance drills" — what would trigger AI equivalent of FAA mandate?**: The FAA mandatory manual flying requirement came after Air France 447 (249 dead). What would the equivalent "disaster" be for AI deskilling? And is it even visible/attributable enough to trigger regulatory response? Look for: close calls or near-disasters in high-stakes AI-assisted domains (radiology, credit decisions, autonomous vehicles) that exposed verification debt without triggering regulatory response. Absence of evidence here would be informative.
### Dead Ends (don't re-run these)
- **CFR/Strategy International governance pieces**: Both confirm existing claims with data. No new mechanisms. The 63% governance deficit number and Horowitz's "binding agreements unlikely" quote are good evidence enrichments, but don't open new directions.
- **AISI/METR evaluation state**: Well-documented by Theseus. The voluntary-collaborative ceiling and AISI renaming are the key data points. No need to revisit.
### Branching Points
- **Structural irony claim: two directions**
- Direction A: Develop as standalone cross-domain mechanism claim in grand-strategy domain. Needs historical analogues (nuclear, internet) to reach "experimental" confidence. This is the higher-value direction because it would generalize beyond AI.
- Direction B: Develop as enrichment of existing [[technology advances exponentially but coordination mechanisms evolve linearly]] claim — add the mechanism (not just the observation) to the existing claim. Lower-value as a claim but faster and simpler.
- Which first: Direction A. If the structural irony generalizes (same mechanism in nuclear, internet), it deserves standalone status. If it doesn't generalize, then Direction B as enrichment.
- **Choudary "coordination without consensus": two directions**
- Direction A: Test against geopolitical coordination (can AI reduce translation costs between regulatory frameworks?) — this is the high-stakes version
- Direction B: Map Choudary's three incumbent strategies (translation layer, accountability, fragment-and-tax) against the AI governance problem — do any of them apply at the state level? (e.g., the EU as the "accountability" incumbent, China as "fragment and tax," US as "translation layer")
- Which first: Direction B. It's internal KB work (cross-referencing Choudary with existing governance claims) and could produce a claim faster than Direction A.

**Question:** Does Choudary's "AI as coordination tool" evidence (translation cost reduction in commercial domains) disconfirm Belief 1, or does it confirm the Krier bifurcation hypothesis — that AI improves coordination in commercial domains while governance coordination fails?
**Belief targeted:** Belief 1 (keystone): "Technology is outpacing coordination wisdom." Pursuing Krier Direction B from previous session: the success case for AI-enabled coordination in non-catastrophic domains.
**Disconfirmation result:** Partial disconfirmation at commercial level — confirmed at governance level. Choudary (HBR Feb 2026) documents real coordination improvement: Trunk Tools, Tractable ($7B claims), project44. AI reduces translation costs without requiring standardization. This is genuine coordination progress. But Brundage et al. AAL framework shows deception-resilient AI governance (AAL-3/4) is technically infeasible. AISI renamed from Safety to Security Institute — government pivoting from existential risk to cybersecurity. CFR: binding international agreements "unlikely in 2026." The bifurcation is real.
**Key finding:** Structural irony mechanism. Choudary's coordination works because AI operates without requiring consent from coordinated systems. AI governance fails because governance requires consent/disclosure from AI systems. The same property that makes AI a powerful coordination tool (no consensus needed) makes AI systems resistant to governance coordination (which requires them to disclose). This is not just an observation about where coordination works — it's a mechanism for WHY the gap is asymmetric. Claim candidate: "AI improves commercial coordination by eliminating the need for consensus between specialized systems, but governance coordination requires disclosure from AI systems, creating a structural asymmetry where AI's coordination benefits are realizable while AI governance coordination remains intractable."
**Pattern update:** Three sessions now converging on the same cross-domain pattern with increasing precision:
- Session 1 (2026-03-18 morning): Verification economics mechanism — verification bandwidth is the binding constraint
- Session 2 (2026-03-18 overnight): System modification beats person modification — interventions must be structural, not individual
- Session 3 (2026-03-19): Structural irony — AI's coordination power and AI's governance intractability are the same property
All three point in the same direction: voluntary, consensus-requiring, individual-relying mechanisms fail. Structural, enforcement-backed, consent-independent mechanisms work. This is converging on a meta-claim about mechanism design for transformative technology governance.
**Confidence shift:** Belief 1 unchanged in truth value; improved in precision. Added scope qualifier: fully true for coordination governance of technology; partially false for commercial coordination using technology. The existential risk framing remains fully supported — catastrophic risk coordination is the governance domain, which is exactly where the structural irony concentrates the failure. Also added historical analogue for verification debt reversion: Air France 447 → FAA mandate → corrective regulation template (Hosanagar).
**Source situation:** Tweet file empty again (second consecutive session). Confirmed dead end for Leo's domain. All productive work coming from KB queue. Pattern for future sessions: skip tweet file check, go directly to queue.

# Third-Party AI Evaluation Infrastructure: Building Fast, But Still Voluntary-Collaborative, Not Independent
Research session 2026-03-19. Tweet feed empty again — all web research.
## Research Question
**What third-party AI performance measurement infrastructure currently exists or is being proposed, and does its development pace suggest governance is keeping pace with capability advances?**
### Why this question (priority from previous session)
Direct continuation of the 2026-03-18b NEXT flag: "Third-party performance measurement infrastructure: The missing correction mechanism. What would mandatory independent AI performance assessment look like? Who would run it?" The 2026-03-18 journal summarizes the emerging thesis across 7 sessions: "the problem is not that solutions don't exist — it's that the INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE to deploy solutions is missing."
This doubles as my **keystone belief disconfirmation target**: B1 states alignment is "not being treated as such." If substantial third-party evaluation infrastructure is emerging at scale, the "not being treated as such" component weakens.
### Keystone belief targeted: B1 — "AI alignment is the greatest outstanding problem for humanity and not being treated as such"
Disconfirmation target: "If safety spending approaches parity with capability spending at major labs, or if governance mechanisms demonstrate they can keep pace with capability advances."
Specific question: Is mandatory independent AI performance measurement emerging? Is the evaluation infrastructure building fast enough to matter?
---
## Key Findings
### Finding 1: The evaluation infrastructure field has had a phase transition — from DIAGNOSIS to CONSTRUCTION in 2025-2026
Five distinct categories of third-party evaluation infrastructure now exist:
1. **Pre-deployment evaluations** (METR, UK AISI) — actual deployed practice. METR reviewed Claude Opus 4.6 sabotage risk (March 12, 2026). AISI tested 7 LLMs on cyber ranges (March 16, 2026), built open-source Inspect framework (April 2024), Inspect Scout (Feb 2026), ControlArena (Oct 2025).
2. **Audit frameworks** (Brundage et al., January 2026, arXiv:2601.11699) — the most authoritative proposal to date. 28+ authors across 27 organizations including GovAI, MIT CSAIL, Cambridge, Stanford, Yale, Anthropic, Epoch AI, Apollo Research, Oxford Martin AI Governance. Proposes four AI Assurance Levels (AAL-1 through AAL-4).
3. **Privacy-preserving scrutiny** (Beers & Toner/OpenMined, February 2025, arXiv:2502.05219) — actual deployments with Christchurch Call (social media recommendation algorithm scrutiny) and UK AISI (frontier model evaluation). Uses privacy-enhancing technologies to enable independent review without compromising IP.
4. **Standardized evaluation reporting** (STREAM standard, August 2025, arXiv:2508.09853) — 23 experts from government, civil society, academia, and AI companies. Proposes standardized reporting for dangerous capability evaluations with 3-page reporting template.
5. **Expert consensus on priorities** (Uuk et al., December 2024, arXiv:2412.02145) — 76 experts across AI safety, critical infrastructure, CBRN, democratic processes. Top-3 priority mitigations: safety incident reporting, **third-party pre-deployment audits**, pre-deployment risk assessments. "External scrutiny, proactive evaluation and transparency are key principles."
### Finding 2: The Brundage et al. AAL framework is the most important development — but reveals the depth of the gap
The four levels are architecturally significant:
- **AAL-1**: "The peak of current practices in AI." Time-bounded system audits, relies substantially on company-provided information. What METR and AISI currently do. This is the ceiling of what exists.
- **AAL-2**: Near-term goal for advanced frontier developers. Greater access to non-public information, less reliance on company statements. Not yet standard practice.
- **AAL-3 & AAL-4**: Require "deception-resilient verification" — ruling out "materially significant deception by the auditee." **Currently NOT TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE.**
Translation: the most robust evaluation levels we need — where auditors can detect whether labs are deceiving them — are not technically achievable. Current adoption is "voluntary and concentrated among a few developers" with only "emerging pilots."
The framework relies on **market incentives** (competitive procurement, insurance differentiation) rather than regulatory mandate.
### Finding 3: The government-mandated path collapsed — NIST Executive Order rescinded January 20, 2025
The closest thing to a government-mandated evaluation framework — Biden's Executive Order 14110 on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI — was rescinded on January 20, 2025 (Trump administration). The NIST AI framework page now shows only the rescission notice. The institutional scaffolding for mandatory evaluation was removed at the same time capability scaling accelerated.
This is a strong confirmation of B1: the government path to mandatory evaluation was actively dismantled.
### Finding 4: All existing third-party evaluation is VOLUNTARY-COLLABORATIVE, not INDEPENDENT
This is the critical structural distinction. METR works WITH Anthropic to conduct pre-deployment evaluations. UK AISI collaborates WITH labs. The Kim et al. assurance framework specifically distinguishes "assurance" from "audit" precisely to "prevent conflict of interest and ensure credibility" — acknowledging that current practice has a conflict of interest problem.
Compare to analogous mechanisms in other high-stakes domains:
- **FDA clinical trials**: Manufacturers fund trials but cannot design, conduct, or selectively report them — independent CROs run trials by regulation
- **Financial auditing**: Independent auditors are legally required; auditor cannot have financial stake in client
- **Aviation safety**: FAA flight data recorders are mandatory; incident analysis is independent of airlines
None of these structural features exist in AI evaluation. There is no equivalent of the FDA requirement that third-party trials be conducted by parties without conflict of interest. Labs can invite METR to evaluate; labs can decline to invite METR.
### Finding 5: Capability scaling runs exponentially; evaluation infrastructure scales linearly
The BRIDGE framework paper (arXiv:2602.07267) provides an independent confirmation: the "50% solvable task horizon doubles approximately every 6 months." Exponential capability scaling is confirmed empirically.
Evaluation infrastructure does not scale exponentially. Each new framework is a research paper. Each new evaluation body requires years of institutional development. Each new standard requires multi-stakeholder negotiation. The compound effect of exponential capability growth against linear evaluation growth widens the gap in every period.
### Synthesis: The Evaluation Infrastructure Thesis
Third-party AI evaluation infrastructure is building faster than I expected. But the structural architecture is wrong:
**It's voluntary-collaborative, not independent.** Labs invite evaluators; evaluators work with labs; there is no deception-resilient mechanism. AAL-3 and AAL-4 (which would be deception-resilient) are not technically feasible. The analogy to FDA clinical trials or aviation flight recorders fails on the independence dimension.
**It's been decoupled from government mandate.** The NIST EO was rescinded. EU AI Act covers "high-risk" systems (not frontier AI specifically). Binding international agreements "unlikely in 2026" (CFR/Horowitz, confirmed). The institutional scaffolding that would make evaluation mandatory was dismantled.
**The gap between what's needed and what exists is specifically about independence and mandate, not about intelligence or effort.** The people building evaluation infrastructure (Brundage et al., METR, AISI, OpenMined) are doing sophisticated work. The gap is structural — conflict of interest, lack of mandate — not a knowledge or capability gap.
## Connection to Open Questions in KB
The _map.md notes: [[economic forces push humans out of every cognitive loop where output quality is independently verifiable]] vs [[deep technical expertise is a greater force multiplier when combined with AI agents]]. The evaluation infrastructure findings add a third dimension: **the independence of the evaluation infrastructure determines whether either claim can be verified.** If evaluators depend on labs for access and cooperation, independent assessment of either claim is structurally compromised.
## Potential New Claim Candidates
CLAIM CANDIDATE: "Frontier AI auditing has reached the limits of the voluntary-collaborative model because deception-resilient evaluation (AAL-3+) is not technically feasible and all deployed evaluations require lab cooperation to function" — strong claim, well-supported by Brundage et al.
CLAIM CANDIDATE: "Third-party AI evaluation infrastructure is building in 2025-2026 but remains at AAL-1 (the peak of current voluntary practice), with AAL-3 and AAL-4 (deception-resilient) not yet technically achievable" — specific, falsifiable, well-grounded.
CLAIM CANDIDATE: "The NIST AI Executive Order rescission on January 20, 2025 eliminated the institutional scaffolding for mandatory evaluation at the same time capability scaling accelerated" — specific, dateable, significant for B1.

## Follow-up Directions
### Active Threads (continue next session)
- **What would make evaluation independent?**: The structural gap is clear (voluntary-collaborative vs. independent). What specific institutional design changes are needed? Is there an emerging proposal for AI-equivalent FDA independence? Search: "AI evaluation independence" "conflict of interest AI audit" "mandatory AI testing FDA equivalent" 2026. Also: does the EU AI Act's conformity assessment (Article 43) create anything like this for frontier AI?
- **AAL-3/4 technical feasibility**: The Brundage et al. paper says deception-resilient evaluation is "not technically feasible." What would make it feasible? Is there research on interpretability + audit that could eventually close this gap? This connects to Belief #4 (verification degrades faster than capability). If AAL-3 is infeasible, verification is always lagging.
- **Anthropic's new safety policy post-RSP-drop**: What replaced the RSP? Does the new policy have stronger or weaker third-party evaluation requirements? Does METR still evaluate, and on what terms?
### Dead Ends (don't re-run)
- RAND, Brookings, CSIS blocked or returned 404s for AI evaluation-specific pages — use direct arXiv searches instead
- Stanford HAI PDF (2025 AI Index) — blocked/empty, not the right path
- NIST AI executive order page — just shows the rescission notice, no RMF 2.0 content available
- LessWrong search — returns JavaScript framework code, not posts
- METR direct blog URL pattern: `metr.org/blog/YYYY-MM-DD-slug` — most return 404; use `metr.org/blog/` for the overview then extract specific papers through arXiv
### Branching Points (one finding opened multiple directions)
- **The voluntary-collaborative problem**: Direction A — look for emerging proposals to make evaluation mandatory (legislative path, EU AI Act Article 43, US state laws). Direction B — look for technical advances that would enable deception-resilient evaluation (making AAL-3 feasible). Both matter, but Direction A is more tractable given current research. Pursue Direction A first.
- **NIST rescission**: Direction A — what replaced NIST EO as governance framework? Any Biden-era infrastructure survive? Direction B — how does this interact with EU AI Act enforcement (August 2026) — does EU fill the US governance vacuum? Direction B seems higher value.

## Session 2026-03-19 (Third-Party AI Evaluation Infrastructure)
**Question:** What third-party AI performance measurement infrastructure currently exists or is being proposed, and does its development pace suggest governance is keeping pace with capability advances?
**Belief targeted:** B1 (keystone) — "AI alignment is the greatest outstanding problem for humanity and not being treated as such." Specific disconfirmation target: are governance mechanisms keeping pace with capability advances?
**Disconfirmation result:** Partial disconfirmation — more sophisticated than expected. Third-party evaluation infrastructure is building faster than I credited: METR does actual pre-deployment evaluations (Claude Opus 4.6 sabotage review, March 2026), UK AISI has built open-source evaluation tools (Inspect, ControlArena) and tested 7 LLMs on cyber ranges. Brundage et al. (January 2026, 28+ authors from 27 orgs including GovAI, MIT, Stanford, Yale, Epoch AI) published the most comprehensive audit framework to date. BUT: (1) The most rigorous levels (AAL-3/4, "deception-resilient") are NOT technically feasible; (2) All evaluations are voluntary-collaborative — labs can decline; (3) NIST Executive Order was rescinded January 20, 2025, eliminating government-mandated framework; (4) Expert consensus (76 specialists) identifies third-party pre-deployment audits as top-3 priority, yet no mandatory requirement exists. B1 holds: the mechanisms being built are real but voluntary, collaborative, and scaling linearly against exponential capability growth.
**Key finding:** The evaluation infrastructure field has had a phase transition from diagnosis to construction in 2025-2026. But the structural architecture is wrong: voluntary-collaborative (not independent), mandated by market incentives (not regulation), and the most important levels (deception-resilient AAL-3/4) are not yet technically achievable. The analogy to FDA clinical trial independence fails entirely — there is no requirement that evaluators be independent of the labs they evaluate.
**Pattern update:**
STRENGTHENED:
- B1 (not being treated as such) — holds, but now more precisely characterized. The problem is not absence of evaluation infrastructure, but structural inadequacy: voluntary-collaborative evaluation cannot detect deception (AAL-3/4 infeasible), and no mandatory requirement exists.
- "Voluntary safety commitments collapse under competitive pressure" — evaluation infrastructure has the same structural weakness. Labs that don't want evaluation simply don't invite evaluators.
- "Technology advances exponentially but coordination mechanisms evolve linearly" — confirmed by capability trajectory (BRIDGE: 50% task horizon doubles every 6 months) against evaluation infrastructure (one framework proposal, one new standard at a time).
COMPLICATED:
- The "not being treated as such" framing is too simple. People ARE treating it seriously (Brundage et al. with 28 authors and Yoshua Bengio, 76 expert consensus study, METR and AISI doing real work). But the structural architecture of what's being built is inadequate — voluntary not mandatory, collaborative not independent. Better framing: "being treated with insufficient structural seriousness — the mechanisms being built are voluntary-collaborative when the problem requires independent-mandatory."
NEW PATTERN:
- **Technology-law gap in evaluation infrastructure**: Privacy-enhancing technologies can enable genuinely independent AI scrutiny without compromising IP (Beers & Toner, OpenMined deployments at Christchurch Call and AISI). The technical barrier is solved. The remaining gap is legal authority to require frontier AI labs to submit to independent evaluation. This is a specific, tractable policy intervention point.
- **AISI renaming signal**: UK AI Safety Institute renamed to AI Security Institute in 2026. The only government-funded AI safety evaluation body is shifting mandate from existential risk to cybersecurity. This is a softer version of the DoD/Anthropic coordination-breaking dynamic — government infrastructure reorienting away from alignment-relevant evaluation.
**Confidence shift:**
- "Third-party evaluation infrastructure is absent" → REVISED: infrastructure exists but at AAL-1 (voluntary-collaborative ceiling). AAL-3/4 (deception-resilient) not feasible. Better framing: "evaluation exists but structurally limited to what labs cooperate with."
- "Expert consensus on evaluation priorities" → NEW: 76 experts converge on third-party pre-deployment audits as top-3 priority. Strong signal about what's needed.
- "Government as coordination-breaker" → EXTENDED: NIST EO rescission + AISI renaming = two independent signals of government infrastructure shifting away from alignment-relevant evaluation.
- "Technology-law gap in independent evaluation" → NEW, likely: Beers & Toner show PET infrastructure works (deployed in 2 cases). Legal authority to mandate frontier AI labs to submit is the specific missing piece.
**Sources archived:** 6 sources (4 high, 2 medium). Key: Brundage et al. AAL framework (arXiv:2601.11699), Kim et al. CMU assurance framework (arXiv:2601.22424), Uuk et al. 76-expert study (arXiv:2412.02145), Beers & Toner PET scrutiny (arXiv:2502.05219), STREAM standard (arXiv:2508.09853), METR/AISI practice synthesis.
**Cross-session pattern (8 sessions):** Active inference → alignment gap → constructive mechanisms → mechanism engineering → [gap] → overshoot mechanisms → correction mechanism failures → evaluation infrastructure limits. The full arc: WHAT architecture → WHERE field is → HOW mechanisms work → BUT ALSO they fail → WHY they overshoot → HOW correction fails → WHAT the missing infrastructure looks like → WHERE the legal mandate gap is. Thesis now highly specific: the technical infrastructure for independent AI evaluation exists (PETs, METR, AISI tools); what's missing is legal mandate for independence (not voluntary-collaborative) and the technical feasibility of deception-resilient evaluation (AAL-3/4). Next: Does EU AI Act Article 43 create mandatory conformity assessment for frontier AI? Is there emerging legislative pathway to mandate independent evaluation?

# Research Session: Does AI-Accelerated Biology Resolve the Healthspan Constraint?
## Research Question
**If AI is compressing biological discovery timelines 10-20x (Amodei: 50-100 years of biological progress in 5-10 years), does this transform healthspan from a civilization's binding constraint into a temporary bottleneck being rapidly resolved — and what actually becomes the binding constraint?**
## Why This Question
**Keystone belief disconfirmation target** — the highest-priority search type.
Belief 1 is the existential premise: "Healthspan is civilization's binding constraint, and we are systematically failing at it in ways that compound." If AI is about to solve the health problem in 5-10 years, this premise becomes: (a) less urgent, (b) time-bounded rather than structural, and (c) potentially less distinctive as Vida's domain thesis.
The sources triggering this question:
- Amodei "Machines of Loving Grace" (Theseus-processed, health cross-domain flag): "50-100 years of biological progress in 5-10 years. Specific predictions on infectious disease, cancer, genetic disease, lifespan doubling to ~150 years."
- Noah Smith (Theseus-processed): "Ginkgo Bioworks + GPT-5: 150 years of protein engineering compressed to weeks"
- Existing KB claim: "AI compresses drug discovery timelines by 30-40% but has not yet improved the 90% clinical failure rate"
- Catalini et al.: verification bandwidth — the ability to validate and audit AI outputs — is the NEW binding constraint, not intelligence itself
**What would change my mind:**
- If AI acceleration addresses BOTH the biological AND behavioral/social components of health → Belief 1 is time-bounded and less critical
- If clinical deskilling from AI reliance produces worse outcomes than the AI helps → the transition itself becomes the health hazard
- If verification/trust infrastructure fails to scale alongside AI capability → new category of health harms emerge from AI at scale
## Belief Targeted for Disconfirmation
**Belief 1**: Healthspan is civilization's binding constraint.
**Specific disconfirmation target**: If AI-accelerated biology (drug discovery, protein engineering, cancer treatment) can compress 50-100 years of progress into 5-10 years, then:
1. The biological research bottleneck (part of the "clinical 10-20%") resolves rapidly
2. What remains binding? The behavioral/social/environmental determinants (80-90%)? Or something new?
**The disconfirmation search**: Read the Amodei health predictions carefully, cross-reference with the Catalini verification bandwidth argument, and ask whether AI acceleration addresses what actually constrains health — or accelerates only the minority of the problem.
## What I Found
### The Core Discovery: AI Accelerates the 10-20%, Not the 80-90%
Reading the Amodei thesis through Vida's health lens reveals a crucial asymmetry that Theseus didn't extract:
**What AI-accelerated biology actually addresses:**
- Drug discovery timelines: -30-40% (confirmed, existing KB claim)
- Protein engineering: 150 years → weeks (Noah Smith / Ginkgo + GPT-5 example)
- Predictive modeling for novel therapies (mRNA, gene editing)
- Real-world data analysis revealing unexpected therapeutic effects (Aon: GLP-1 → 50% ovarian cancer reduction in 192K-patient claims dataset)
- Amodei's "compressed century" predictions: infectious disease elimination, cancer halving, genetic disease treatments
**What AI-accelerated biology does NOT address:**
- The 80-90% non-clinical determinants: behavior, environment, social connection, meaning
- Loneliness mortality risk (15 cigarettes/day equivalent) — not a biology problem
- Deaths of despair (concentrated in regions damaged by economic restructuring) — not a biology problem
- Food environment and ultra-processed food addiction — partly biology but primarily environment/regulation
- Mental health supply gap — not a biology problem; primarily workforce and narrative infrastructure
**Amodei's own "complementary factors" framework explains why:**
Amodei argues that marginal returns to AI intelligence are bounded by five factors: physical world speed, data needs, intrinsic complexity, human constraints, physical laws. This 10-20x (not 100-1000x) acceleration applies to biological science. But:
- BEHAVIOR CHANGE is subject to human constraints (Amodei's Factor 4) — AI cannot force behavior change
- SOCIAL STRUCTURES dissolve from economic forces (modernization, market relationships) — not addressable by biological discovery
- MEANING and PURPOSE — the narrative infrastructure of wellbeing — are among the most intrinsically complex human systems
**The disconfirmation result:** Belief 1 SURVIVES. AI accelerates the 10-20% clinical/biological side of the health equation, making that component less binding. But this doesn't address the 80-90% non-clinical determinants. The binding constraint's COMPOSITION changes — biological research bottleneck weakens; behavioral/social/infrastructure bottleneck remains and may become RELATIVELY more binding as the biological constraint resolves.
### A New Complicating Factor: The Verification Gap Creates New Health Harms
The Catalini "Simple Economics of AGI" framework applies directly to health AI and creates a genuinely new concern for Belief 1:
**Verification bandwidth as the health AI bottleneck:**
- AI can generate clinical insights faster than physicians can verify them
- OpenEvidence: 20M clinical consultations/month (March 2026), USMLE 100% score, $12B valuation — but ZERO peer-reviewed outcomes data at this scale
- 44% of physicians remain concerned about accuracy/misinformation despite heavy use
- Hosanagar deskilling evidence: physicians get WORSE at polyp detection when AI is removed (28% → 22% adenoma detection) — same pattern as aviation pre-FAA mandate
**The clinical AI paradox:** As AI capability advances (OpenEvidence: USMLE 100%), physician verification capacity DETERIORATES (deskilling). Catalini identifies this as the "Measurability Gap" between what systems can execute and what humans can practically oversee. Applied to health:
- At 20M consultations/month, OpenEvidence influences clinical decisions at scale
- If those decisions are wrong in systematic ways, the harms are population-scale
- The physicians "overseeing" these decisions are simultaneously becoming less capable of detecting errors
This creates a **new category of civilizational health risk that doesn't appear in the original Belief 1 framing**: AI-induced clinical capability degradation. The health constraint is no longer just "poor diet/loneliness/despair" but potentially "healthcare system that produces worse outcomes when AI is unavailable because deskilling has degraded the human baseline."
### The GLP-1 Price Trajectory Changes the Biological Discovery Economics
One genuinely new finding from reviewing the queue:
**GLP-1 patent cliff (status: unprocessed):**
- Canada's semaglutide patents expired January 2026 — generic filings already happening
- Brazil, India: patent expirations March 2026
- China: 17+ generic candidates in Phase 3; monthly therapy projected $40-50
- Oral Wegovy launched January 2026 at $149-299/month (vs. $1,300+ injectable)
**Implication for existing KB claim:** The existing claim "GLP-1s are inflationary through 2035" assumes current pricing trajectory. But if international generic competition drives prices toward $50-100/month by 2030 (even before US patent expiry in 2031-2033), the inflection point moves earlier. This is the clearest example of AI-era pharmaceutical economics: massive investment, rapid price compression, eventual widespread access.
BUT: the behavioral adherence finding from the March 16 session remains critical. Even at $50/month, GLP-1 alone is NO BETTER than placebo for preventing weight regain after discontinuation. The drug without behavioral support is a pharmacological treadmill. Price compression doesn't solve the adherence/behavioral problem.
**This REINFORCES the 80-90% non-clinical framing.** Even as biological interventions (GLP-1s) become dramatically cheaper and more accessible, the behavioral infrastructure to make them work remains essential.
### Synthesis: What This Means for Belief 1
**The disconfirmation attempt fails, but it produces a valuable refinement:**
Belief 1 as currently stated: "Healthspan is civilization's binding constraint, and we are systematically failing at it in ways that compound."
**What AI-acceleration changes:**
- The biological/pharmacological component of health is being rapidly improved — cancer will be halved, genetic diseases treated, protein engineering compressed
- This is REAL progress that will reduce the "preventable suffering" that Belief 1 references
- The compounding failure dynamics (rising chronic disease consuming capital, declining life expectancy) will be partially addressed by these advances
**What AI-acceleration does NOT change:**
- Deaths of despair, social isolation, mental health crisis — the "meaning" layer of health — remain outside the biological discovery pipeline
- Behavioral/social determinants (80-90%) are not biology problems and won't be solved by drug discovery acceleration
- The incentive misalignment (Belief 3) remains: even perfect biological interventions can't succeed at population scale under fee-for-service
- The verification gap creates NEW health risks: AI-at-scale without oversight could produce systematic harm
**The refined Belief 1:**
"Healthspan is civilization's binding constraint, and the constraint is increasingly concentrated in the non-clinical 80-90% that AI-accelerated biology cannot address — even as biological progress accelerates. The constraint's composition shifts: pharmaceutical/clinical bottlenecks weaken through AI, while behavioral/social/verification infrastructure bottlenecks become relatively more binding."
**This STRENGTHENS rather than weakens Vida's domain thesis.** If biological science accelerates, the RELATIVE importance of the behavioral/social/narrative determinants grows. Vida's unique contribution — the 80-90% framework, the SDOH analysis, the VBC alignment thesis, the health-as-narrative infrastructure argument — becomes MORE distinctive as the biological side of health gets "solved."
## Claim Candidates Identified This Session
CLAIM CANDIDATE 1: "AI-accelerated biological discovery addresses the clinical 10-20% of health determinants but leaves the behavioral/social 80-90% unchanged, making non-clinical health infrastructure relatively more important as pharmaceutical bottlenecks weaken"
- Domain: health, confidence: likely
- Sources: Amodei complementary factors framework, County Health Rankings (behavior 30% + social/economic 40%), clinical AI evidence from previous sessions
- KB connections: Strengthens Belief 2 (80-90% non-clinical), reinforces Vida's domain thesis
CLAIM CANDIDATE 2: "International GLP-1 generic competition beginning in 2026 (Canada January, India/Brazil March) will compress prices toward $40-100/month by 2030, invalidating the 'inflationary through 2035' framing at least for risk-bearing payment models"

- Source: GeneOnline 2026-02-01, existing KB GLP-1 claim
- KB connections: Challenges existing claim [[GLP-1 receptor agonists are the largest therapeutic category launch in pharmaceutical history but their chronic use model makes the net cost impact inflationary through 2035]]
CLAIM CANDIDATE 3: "The verification bandwidth problem (Catalini) manifests in clinical AI as a scale asymmetry: OpenEvidence processes 20M physician consultations/month with zero peer-reviewed outcomes evidence, while physician verification capacity simultaneously deteriorates through AI-induced deskilling"
- Domain: health (primary), ai-alignment (cross-domain)
- Sources: Catalini 2026, OpenEvidence metrics, Hosanagar/Lancet deskilling evidence
- KB connections: New connection between Catalini's verification framework and the clinical AI safety risks in Belief 5
CLAIM CANDIDATE 4: "GLP-1 medications without structured exercise programs produce weight regain equivalent to placebo after discontinuation, making exercise the active ingredient for durable metabolic improvement rather than the pharmaceutical compound itself"
- Domain: health, confidence: likely (RCT-supported)
- Source: PMC synthesis 2026-03-01 (already archived, enrichment status)
- KB connections: New interpretation of the adherence data from March 16 session
## Follow-up Directions
### Active Threads (continue next session)
- **VBID termination aftermath (Q1-Q2 2026 tracking):** What are MA plans actually doing post-VBID? Are any states with active 1115 waivers losing food-as-medicine coverage? The MAHA rhetoric + contracting payment infrastructure is a live contradiction to track. Look for: CMS signals on SSBCI eligibility criteria changes, state-level Medicaid waiver amendments.
- **DOGE/Medicaid cuts impact on CHW programs:** Four new CHW SPAs were approved in 2024-2025 (Colorado, Georgia, Oklahoma, Washington). Are these being implemented or paused under federal funding uncertainty? The CHW payment rate variation ($18-$50/per 30 min) creates race-to-bottom dynamics — track whether federal matching rates change.
- **OpenEvidence outcomes data gap:** At 20M consultations/month with verified physicians, OpenEvidence is the first real-world test of whether clinical AI benchmark performance translates to outcomes. Watch for: any peer-reviewed analysis of OpenEvidence-influenced clinical outcomes, any adverse event reporting patterns, any health system quality metric changes.
- **GLP-1 price trajectory (international generic tracking):** Canada generics filed January 2026; Brazil/India March 2026. What are actual prices? Has the $40-50 China projection materialized in any market? When does international price pressure create compounding pharmacy/importation arbitrage in the US?
### Dead Ends (don't re-run these)
- **Tweet feeds:** Session 7 confirms dead. Not worth checking.
- **Amodei/Noah Smith as health sources:** These are Theseus-processed and primarily AI-focused. The health-specific content has been captured in this musing. Don't re-read for health angles — it's in the synthesis above.
- **Disconfirmation of Belief 1 via AI-acceleration thesis:** Belief 1 survives the AI-acceleration challenge. The 80-90% non-clinical determinants are not a biological problem. Don't re-run this search — the result is clear.
### Branching Points (one finding opened multiple directions)
- **Verification bandwidth → clinical AI governance:**
- Direction A: Track AIUC certification development specifically for clinical AI contexts (the existing AIUC-1 standard covers AI broadly, not healthcare specifically). Is there a medical AI certification emerging?
- Direction B: Monitor OpenEvidence for any outcomes data publication — this would be the first empirical test of whether clinical AI benchmark performance predicts clinical benefit at scale.
- **Recommendation: B first.** This is closer to resolution and directly tests existing KB claims.
- **GLP-1 price compression → cost-effectiveness inflection:**
- Direction A: Model the new cost-effectiveness break-even under various price trajectories ($50, $100, $150/month)
- Direction B: Wait for actual international pricing data from Canada generic competition (6-month horizon)
- **Recommendation: B.** Canada generic filings were January 2026 — prices should be visible by Q3 2026. Check next session.

## Session 2026-03-19 — AI-Accelerated Biology and the Healthspan Binding Constraint
**Question:** If AI is compressing biological discovery timelines 10-20x (Amodei: 50-100 years of biological progress in 5-10 years), does this transform healthspan from civilization's binding constraint into a temporary bottleneck being rapidly resolved — and what actually becomes the binding constraint?
**Belief targeted:** Belief 1 (keystone belief) — healthspan is civilization's binding constraint. This is the existential premise disconfirmation search.
**Disconfirmation result:** Belief 1 SURVIVES. AI accelerates the clinical/biological 10-20% of health determinants (drug discovery -30-40%, protein engineering 150 years → weeks, GLP-1 multi-organ protection revealed via AI data analysis). But Amodei's own "complementary factors" framework explains why this doesn't resolve the constraint: the 80-90% non-clinical determinants (behavior, social connection, environment, meaning) are subject to human constraints (Factor 4) that AI cannot compress. Deaths of despair, social isolation, and mental health crisis are not biology problems — they're social/narrative/economic problems. AI-accelerated drug discovery addresses a minority of what's broken.
A new complicating factor emerged: the Catalini verification bandwidth argument applies directly to health AI at scale. OpenEvidence processes 20M physician consultations/month with USMLE 100% benchmark performance but zero peer-reviewed outcomes evidence. Meanwhile, Hosanagar/Lancet data show physicians get worse without AI (adenoma detection: 28% → 22%). The verification gap creates a new health risk category not in Belief 1's original framing: AI-induced clinical capability degradation, where healthcare quality degrades in AI-unavailable scenarios because deskilling has eroded the human baseline.
**Key finding:** The disconfirmation attempt produced a refinement rather than a rejection. The constraint's composition changes under AI acceleration: biological/pharmaceutical bottlenecks weaken (the "science" layer accelerates); behavioral/social/verification infrastructure bottlenecks remain and become relatively more binding. This STRENGTHENS Vida's domain thesis — as biology accelerates, the unique value of the 80-90% non-clinical analysis grows.
Secondary finding: GLP-1 patent cliff is live. Canada's semaglutide patents expired January 2026 (generic filings underway). Brazil/India March 2026. China projects $40-50/month. If prices compress toward $50-100/month by 2030, the existing KB claim ("inflationary through 2035") needs scope qualification — it's correct at the system level but may be wrong at the payer level by 2030 for risk-bearing plans.
**Pattern update:** Session 7 confirms the same cross-session meta-pattern: the gap between theoretical capability and practical deployment. AI biology acceleration (the "science" accelerates) doesn't translate automatically into health outcomes improvement (the "delivery system" remains misaligned). This mirrors: GLP-1 efficacy without adherence (March 12), VBC theory without VBC practice (March 10-16), food-as-medicine RCT null results despite observational evidence (March 18). In every case, the discovery/theory layer advances faster than the implementation/behavior/verification layer.
**Confidence shift:**
- Belief 1 (healthspan as binding constraint): **REFINED, NOT WEAKENED** — biological bottleneck weakening, behavioral/social/verification bottleneck persisting. The constraint remains real but compositionally different in the AI era. Add temporal qualification: "binding now and increasingly concentrated in non-clinical determinants as AI accelerates the 10-20% clinical side."
- Belief 5 (clinical AI safety risks): **DEEPENED** — the Catalini verification bandwidth argument provides the economic mechanism for WHY clinical AI at scale creates systematic health risk. At 20M consultations/month with zero outcomes data and physician deskilling, OpenEvidence is the highest-consequence real-world test of clinical AI safety.
- Existing GLP-1 claim: **CHALLENGED** — price compression timeline may be faster than assumed due to international generics (Canada: January 2026). The "inflationary through 2035" conclusion needs geographic and payment-model scoping.
**Sources reviewed this session:** 10+ queue files read; most already processed by Vida or Theseus. One genuinely unprocessed health source identified: GLP-1 patent cliff (2026-02-01-glp1-patent-cliff-generics-global-competition.md, status: unprocessed — needs extraction).
**Extraction candidates:** 4 claims: (1) AI-accelerated biology addresses the 10-20% clinical side, leaving the 80-90% non-clinical constraint intact; (2) international GLP-1 generic competition will compress prices faster than the "inflationary through 2035" claim assumes; (3) verification bandwidth creates a clinical-AI-specific health risk at scale that parallels Catalini's general Measurability Gap; (4) GLP-1 without structured exercise produces weight regain equivalent to placebo (already identified March 16, needs formal extraction).

Abridge's productivity premium may not survive platform commoditization. Despite being KLAS #1 ambient scribe with 150+ health system deployments, Epic's native AI Charting threatens Abridge's core documentation revenue through integration advantages and 'good enough' quality at lower switching costs. Abridge is repositioning toward clinical decision support and prior authorization—higher-value use cases Epic hasn't matched—suggesting the productivity premium only holds when the AI company can stay ahead of platform commoditization cycles.

Value in Health modeling study shows Medicare saves $715M over 10 years with comprehensive semaglutide access across all indications, challenging the universal inflationary framing.

Aon's temporal cost analysis shows medical costs rise 23% in year 1 but grow only 2% after 12 months (vs 6% for non-users), with diabetes patients showing 6-9 percentage point lower cost growth at 30 months.

International generic competition beginning January 2026 (Canada patent expiry, immediate Sandoz/Apotex/Teva filings) creates price compression trajectory faster than 'inflationary through 2035' assumes. Oral Wegovy launched at $149-299/month (5-8x reduction vs $1,300/month injectable). China/India generics projected at $40-50/month by 2030. Aon 192K patient study shows break-even timing is highly price-sensitive: at $1,300/month, multi-year retention required; at $50-150/month, Aon data suggests cost savings within 12-18 months under capitation. The 'inflationary through 2035' conclusion holds at current US pricing but becomes invalid if international generic arbitrage and oral formulation competition compress effective prices to $50-150/month range by 2030. Scope qualification needed: claim is valid conditional on pricing trajectory assumptions that are now challenged by G7 patent cliff precedent.

Weight regain data shows that even among patients who complete treatment, GLP-1 alone produces 8.7 kg regain (vs 7.6 kg placebo) while GLP-1 + exercise produces only 3.5 kg regain.

# FairScale
**Type:** Solana reputation infrastructure project
**Status:** Defunct (liquidated February 2026)
**Governance:** Futarchy via MetaDAO Combinator Trade
## Overview
FairScale was a Solana-based reputation infrastructure project that raised ~$355,600 from 219 contributors via Star.fun in January 2026. The project immediately placed its $FAIR token under futarchy governance via Combinator Trade. It collapsed within weeks amid revenue misrepresentation allegations, becoming a key case study in early-stage futarchy failure modes.
## Timeline
- **2026-01-23** — Raised ~$355,600 from 219 contributors via Star.fun; team accepted $300,000
- **2026-01-23** — Token launched at 640K FDV under futarchy governance
- **2026-01-26** — Token fell to 220K within three days
- **2026-02-13** — Token reached 140K low (concurrent with SOL falling from $127 to $88)
- **2026-02** — Community verification revealed revenue misrepresentation: TigerPay claimed ~17K euros/month but no payment arrangement existed; Streamflow detailed pricing breakdown called "internal error" by team
- **2026-02** — Liquidation proposal submitted by major token holder based on revenue misrepresentation allegations
- **2026-02** — Liquidation proposal passed by narrow margin; 100% treasury liquidation authorized
- **2026-02** — Liquidation proposer earned ~300% return
## Revenue Misrepresentation Details
- **TigerPay:** Claimed ~17K euros/month → community verification found no payment arrangement
- **Streamflow:** Detailed pricing breakdown provided ($1K baseline, $0.10/wallet) → team called it "internal error"
- All named partners confirmed integrations but denied payment structures
- Projected $10K MRR by February and $20K by March — neither materialized
## Significance
FairScale became the primary case study for analyzing futarchy manipulation resistance failure at small scale. Pine Analytics identified the "implicit put option problem" where below-NAV tokens attract external liquidation capital more reliably than corrective buying from informed defenders. The case demonstrates that futarchy's manipulation resistance requires scope qualifiers about liquidity and verifiability of decision inputs.

# Pine Analytics
**Type:** Independent research organization
**Focus:** MetaDAO ecosystem analysis and futarchy mechanism design
**Status:** Active
## Overview
Pine Analytics (@PineAnalytics) is the most credible independent research source covering the MetaDAO ecosystem. They produce detailed case studies and mechanism design analysis of futarchy governance implementations.
## Timeline
- **2025-Q4** — Published MetaDAO quarterly analysis
- **2026-02-26** — Published "The FairScale Saga: A Case Study in Early-Stage Futarchy"
- **March 15, 2026** — Published pre-ICO analysis of P2P.me identifying 182x gross profit multiple valuation concern, user growth plateau, and runway constraints
## Key Research
### FairScale Case Study (2026-02-26)
Identified three critical futarchy failure modes in early-stage implementations:
1. **Implicit put option problem:** Below-NAV tokens attract external liquidation capital more reliably than corrective buying from informed defenders
2. **Time-lock paradox:** Mechanisms that protect legitimate projects during volatility equally shield fraudulent teams
3. **Off-chain verification gap:** Trustless property breaks when business fundamentals (like revenue claims) are not on-chain verifiable
Concluded that "futarchy functions well as a price discovery mechanism but poorly as governance infrastructure for early-stage businesses" and that all proposed solutions "require off-chain trust assumptions, moving toward traditional legal structures rather than pure mechanical governance."
## Significance
Pine Analytics provides serious mechanism design analysis rather than criticism for its own sake. Their work is critical for scoping futarchy's manipulation resistance claims and understanding the boundary conditions where the mechanism succeeds versus fails.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Develop a LST Vote Market?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2023-11-18
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/9RisXkQCFLt7NA29vt5aWatcnU8SkyBgS95HxXhwXhW
- Description: This platform would allow MNDE and mSOL holders to earn extra yield by directing their stake to validators who pay them.
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to develop a centralized bribe platform for MNDE and mSOL holders to earn extra yield by directing their stake to validators, addressing the fragmented current market. It seeks 3,000 META to fund the project, with the expectation of generating approximately $1.5M annually for the Meta-DAO.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
The platform will enable small MNDE and mSOL holders to compete with whales for higher yields, enhancing their earning potential.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
If successful, the platform could significantly increase the Meta-DAO's enterprise value by an estimated $10.5M, with potential annual revenues of $150k to $170k.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
Execution risk is a concern, as the project's success is speculative and hinges on a 70% chance of successful implementation, which could result in a net value creation of only $730k after costs.
## Content
## Overview
The Meta-DAO is awakening.
Given that the Meta-DAO is a fundamentally new kind of organization, it lacks legitimacy. To gain legitimacy, we need to first *prove that the model works*. I believe that the best way to do that is by building profit-turning products under the Meta-DAO umbrella.
Here, we propose the first one: an [LST bribe platform](https://twitter.com/durdenwannabe/status/1683150792843464711). This platform would allow MNDE and mSOL holders to earn extra yield by [directing their stake](https://docs.marinade.finance/marinade-products/directed-stake#snapshot-system) to validators who pay them. A bribe market already exists, but it's fragmented and favors whales. This platform would centralize the market, facilitating open exchange between validators and MNDE / mSOL holders and allowing small holders to earn the same yield as whales.
#### Executive summary
- The product would exist as a 2-sided marketplace between validators who want more stake and MNDE and mSOL holders who want more yield.
- The platform would likely be structured similar to Votium.
- The platform would monetize by taking 10% of bribes.
- We estimate that this product would generate \$1.5M per year for the Meta-DAO, increasing the Meta-DAO's enterprise value by \$10.5M, if executed successfully.
- We are requesting 3,000 META and the promise of retroactively-decided performance-based incentives. If executed, this proposal would transfer the first 1,000 META.
- Three contributors have expressed interest in working on this: Proph3t, for the smart contracts; marie, for the UI; and nicovrg, for the BD with Marinade. Proph3t would be the point person and would be responsible for delivering this project to the Meta-DAO.
## Problem statement
Validators want more stake. MNDE and mSOL holders want more yield. Since Marinade allows its MNDE and mSOL holders to direct 40% of its stake, this creates an opportunity for mSOL and MNDE to earn higher yield by selling their votes to validators.
Today, this market is fragmented. Trading occurs through one-off locations like Solana Compass' [Turbo Stake](https://solanacompass.com/staking/turbo-staking) and in back-room Telegram chats. This makes it hard for people who don't actively follow the Solana ecosystem and small holders to earn the highest yields.
We propose a platform that would centralize this trading. Essentially, this would provide an easy place where validators who want more stake can pay for the votes of MNDE and mSOL holders. In the future, we could expand to other LSTs like bSOL.
## Design
There are a number ways you could design a bribe platform. After considering a few options, a Votium-style system appears to be the best one.
### Votium
[Votium](https://votium.app/) is a bribe platform on Ethereum. Essentially, projects that want liquidity in their token pay veCRV holders to allocate CRV emissions to their token's liquidity pool (the veCRV system is fairly complex and out of scope for this proposal). For example, the Frax team might pay veCRV holders to allocate CRV emissions to the FRAX+crvUSD pool.
If you're a project that wants to pay for votes, you do so in the following way:
- create a Votium pool
- specify which Curve pool (a different kind of pool, I didn't name them :shrug:) you want CRV emissions to be directed to
- allocate some funds to that pool
If you're a veCRV-holder, you are eligible to claim from that pool. To do so, you must first vote for the Curve pool specified. Then, once the voting period is done, each person who voted for that Curve pool can claim a pro rata share of the tokens from the Votium pool.
Alternatively, you can delegate to Votium, who will spread your votes among the various pools.
### Our system
In our case, a Votium-style platform would look like the following:
- Once a month, each participating validator creates a pool, specifying a *price per vote* and depositing SOL to their pool. The amount of SOL deposited in a pool defines the maximum votes bought. For example, if Laine deposits 1,000 SOL to a pool and specifies a price per vote of 0.1 SOL, then this pool can buy up to 10,000 votes
- veMNDE and mSOL holders are given 1 week to join pools, which they do by directing their stake to the respective validator (the bribe platform UI would make this easy)
- after 1 month passes, veMNDE and mSOL holders can claim their SOL bribes from the pools
The main advantage of the Votium approach is that it's non-custodial. In other words, *there would be no risk of user fund loss*. In the event of a hack, the only thing that could be stolen are the bribes deposited to the pools.
## Business model
The Meta-DAO would take a small fee from the rewards that are paid to bribees. Currently, we envision this number being 10%, but that is subject to change.
## Financial projections
Although any new project has uncertain returns, we can give rough estimates of the returns that this project would generate for the Meta-DAO.
Marinade Finance currently has \$532M of SOL locked in it. Of that, 40% or \$213M is directed by votes. Validators are likely willing to pay up to the marginal revenue that they can gain by bribing. So, at 8% staking rates and 10% comissions, the **estimated market for this is \$213M * 0.08 * 0.1, or \$1.7M**.
At a 10% fee, the revenue available to the Meta-DAO would be \$170k. The revenue share with Marinade is yet to be negotiated. At a 10% revshare, the Meta-DAO would earn \$150k per year. At a 30% revshare, the Meta-DAO would earn \$120k per year.
We take the average of \$135k per year and multiply by the [typical SaaS valuation multiple](https://aventis-advisors.com/saas-valuation-multiples/#multiples) of 7.8x to achieve the estimate that **this product would add \$1.05M to the Meta-DAO's enterprise value if executed successfully.**
Of course, there is a chance that is not executed successfully. To estimate how much value this would create for the Meta-DAO, you can calculate:
[(% chance of successful execution / 100) * (estimated addition to the Meta-DAO's enterprise value if successfully executed)] - up-front costs
For example, if you believe that the chance of us successfully executing is 70% and that this would add \$10.5M to the Meta-DAO's enterprise value, you can do (0.7 * 10.5M) - dillution cost of 3,000 META. Since each META has a book value of \$1 and is probably worth somewhere between \$1 and \$100, this leaves you with **\$730k - \$700k of value created by the proposal**.
As with any financial projections, these results are highly speculative and sensitive to assumptions. Market participants are encouraged to make their own assumptions and to price the proposal accordingly.
## Proposal request
We are requesting **3,000 META and retroactively-decided performance-based incentives** to fund this project.
This 3,000 META would be split among:
- Proph3t, who would perform the smart contract work
- marie, who would perform the UI/UX work
- nicovrg, who would be the point person to Marinade Finance and submit the grant proposal to the Marinade forums
1,000 META would be paid up-front by the execution of this proposal. 2,000 META would be paid after the proposal is done.
The Meta-DAO is still figuring out how to properly incentivize performance, so we don't want to be too specific with how that would done. Still, it is game-theoretically optimal for the Meta-DAO to compensate us fairly because under-paying us would dissuade future builders from contributing to the Meta-DAO. So we'll put our trust in the game theory.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Migrate Autocrat Program to v0.1?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2023-12-03
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/AkLsnieYpCU2UsSqUNrbMrQNi9bvdnjxx75mZbJns9zi
- Description: Most importantly, Ive made the slots per proposal configurable, and changed its default to 3 days to allow for quicker feedback loops.
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to migrate assets (990,000 META, 10,025 USDC, and 5.5 SOL) from the treasury of the first autocrat program to the second program, while introducing configurable proposal slots and a default duration of 3 days for quicker feedback.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders may benefit from enhanced feedback efficiency and asset management through the upgraded autocrat program.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The changes could lead to faster decision-making processes and improved overall program functionality.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk of potential bugs in the new program and trust issues regarding the absence of verifiable builds, which could jeopardize the security of the funds.
## Content
## Overview
I've made some improvements to the autocrat program. You can see these [here](https://github.com/metaDAOproject/meta-dao/pull/36/files). Most importantly, I've made the slots per proposal configurable, and changed its default to 3 days to allow for quicker feedback loops.
This proposal migrates the 990,000 META, 10,025 USDC, and 5.5 SOL from the treasury owned by the first program to the treasury owned by the second program.
## Key risks
### Smart contract risk
There is a risk that the new program contains an important bug that the first one didn't. I consider this risk small given that I didn't change that much of autocrat.
### Counter-party risk
Unfortunately, for reasons I can't get into, I was unable to build this new program with [solana-verifiable-build](https://github.com/Ellipsis-Labs/solana-verifiable-build). You'd be placing trust in me that I didn't introduce a backdoor, not on the GitHub repo, that allows me to steal the funds.
For future versions, I should always be able to use verifiable builds.

### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to develop a Saber Vote Market funded by $150,000 from various ecosystem teams, enabling veSBR holders to earn extra yield and allowing projects to easily access liquidity.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
The platform will benefit users by providing them with opportunities to earn additional yield and assist teams in acquiring liquidity more efficiently.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The Meta-DAO could generate significant revenue through a take rate on vote trades, enhancing its legitimacy and value.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a potential risk of lower than expected trading volume, which could impact the financial sustainability and operational success of the platform.
## Content
## Overview
It looks like things are coming full circle. Here, I propose that we build a vote market as we proposed in [proposal 0](https://hackmd.io/ammvq88QRtayu7c9VLnHOA?view), only for Saber instead of Marinade. I'd recommend you read that proposal for the context, but I'll summarize briefly here:
- I proposed to build a Marinade vote market
- That proposal passed
- We learned that Marinade was developing an internal solution, we pivoted to supporting them
All of that is still in motion. But recently, I connected with [c2yptic](https://twitter.com/c2yptic) from Saber, who happens to be really excited about the Meta-DAO's vision. Saber was planning on creating a vote market, but he proposed that the Meta-DAO build it instead. I think that this would be a tremendous opportunity for both parties, which is why I'm proposing this.
Here's the high-level:
- The platform would be funded with $150,000 by various ecosystem teams that would benefit from the platform's existence including UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, and Saber.
- veSBR holders would use the market to earn extra yield
- Projects that want liquidity could easily pay for it, saving time and money relative to a bespoke campaign
- The Meta-DAO would own the majority of the platform, with the remaining distributed to the ecosystem teams mentioned above and to users via liquidity mining.
## Why a Saber Vote Market would be good for users and teams
### Users
Users would be able to earn extra yield on their SBR (or their veSBR, to be precise).
### Teams
Teams want liquidity in their tokens. Liquidity is both useful day-to-day - by giving users lower spreads - as well as a backstop against depeg events.
This market would allow teams to more easily and cheaply pay for liquidity. Rather than a bespoke campaign, they would in effect just be placing limit orders in a central market.
## Why a Saber Vote Market would be good for the Meta-DAO
### Financial projections
The Meta-DAO is governed by futarchy - an algorithm that optimizes for token-holder value. So it's worth looking at how much value this proposal could drive.
Today, Saber has a TVL of $20M. Since votes are only useful insofar as they direct that TVL, trading volume through a vote market should be proportional to it.
We estimate that there will be approximately **\$1 in yearly vote trade volume for every \$50 of Saber TVL.** We estimate this using Curve and Aura:
- Today, Curve has a TVL of \$2B. This round of gauge votes - which happen every two weeks - [had \$1.25M in tokens exchanged for votes](https://llama.airforce/#/incentives/rounds/votium/cvx-crv/59). This equates to a run rate of \$30M, or \$1 of vote trade volume for every \$67 in TVL.
- Before the Luna depeg, Curve had \$20B in TVL and vote trade volume was averaging between [\$15M](https://llama.airforce/#/incentives/rounds/votium/cvx-crv/10) and [\$20M](https://llama.airforce/#/incentives/rounds/votium/cvx-crv/8), equivalent to \$1 in yearly vote trade volume for every \$48 in TVL.
- In May, Aura has \$600M in TVL and [\$900k](https://llama.airforce/#/incentives/rounds/hh/aura-bal/25) in vote trade volume, equivalent to \$1 in yearly vote trade volume for every \$56 of TVL
The other factor in the model will be our take rate. Based on Convex's [7-10% take rate](https://docs.convexfinance.com/convexfinance/faq/fees#convex-for-curve), [Votium's ~3% take rate](https://docs.votium.app/faq/fees#vlcvx-incentives), and [Hidden Hand's ~10% take rate](https://docs.redacted.finance/products/pirex/btrfly#is-there-a-fee-for-using-pirex-btrfly), I believe something between 5 and 15% is reasonable. Since we don't expect as much volume as those platforms but we still need to pay people, maybe we start at 15% but could shift down as scale economies kick in.
Here's a model I put together to help analyze some potential scenarios:
![Screenshot from 2023-12-14 15-18-26](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1vCn9d8p.png)
The 65% owned by the Meta-DAO would be the case if we distributed an additional 10% of the supply in liquidity incentives / airdrop.
### Legitimacy
As [I've talked about](https://medium.com/@metaproph3t/an-update-on-the-first-proposal-0e9cdf6e7bfa), assuming futarchy works, the most important thing to the Meta-DAO's success will be acquiring legitimacy. Legitimacy is what leads people to invest their time + money into the Meta-DAO, which we can invest to generate financially-valuable outputs, which then generates more legitimacy.
![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkPF69dL6.png)
By partnering with well-known and reputable projects, we increase the Meta-DAO's legitimacy.
## How we're going to execute
### Who
So far, the following people have committed to working on this project:
- [Marie](https://twitter.com/swagy_marie) to build the UI/UX
- [Matt / fzzyyti](https://x.com/fzzyyti?s=20) to build the smart contracts
- [Durden](https://twitter.com/durdenwannabe) to design the platform & tokenomics
- [Joe](https://twitter.com/joebuild) and [r0bre](https://twitter.com/r0bre) to audit the smart contracts
- [me](https://twitter.com/metaproph3t) to be the [accountable party](https://discord.com/channels/1155877543174475859/1172275074565427220/1179750749228519534) / program manager
UXD has also committed to review the contracts.
### Timeline
#### December 11th - December 15th
Kickoff, initial discussions around platform design & tokenomics
#### December 18th - December 22nd
Lower-level platform design, Matt starts on programs, Marie starts on UI design
#### December 25th - January 5th (2 weeks)
Holiday break
#### January 8th - January 12th
Continued work on programs, start on UI code
#### January 15th - January 19th
Continued work on programs & UI
Deliverables on Friday, January 19th:
- Basic version of program deployed to devnet. You should be able to create pools and claim vote rewards. Fine if you can't claim $BRB tokens yet. Fine if tests aren't done, or some features aren't added yet.
- Basic version of UI. It's okay if it's a Potemkin village and doesn't actually interact with the chain, but you should be able to create pools (as a vote buyer) and pick a pool to sell my vote to.
#### January 22nd - 26th
Continue work on programs & UI, Matt helps marie integrate devnet program into UI
Deliverables on Friday, January 26th:
- MVP of program
- UI works with the program delivered on January 19th
#### January 29th - Feburary 2nd
Audit time! Joe and r0bre audit the program this week
UI is updated to work for the MVP, where applicable changes are
#### February 5th - Febuary 9th
Any updates to the program in accordance with the audit findings
UI done
#### February 12th - February 16th
GTM readiness week!
Proph3t or Durden adds docs, teams make any final decisions, we collectively write copy to announce the platform
#### February 19th
Launch day!!! 🎉
### Budget
Based on their rates, I'm budgeting the following for each person:
- $24,000 to Matt for the smart contracts
- $12,000 to Marie for the UI
- $7,000 to Durden for the platform design
- $7,000 to Proph3t for program management
- $5,000 to r0bre to audit the program
- $5,000 to joe to audit the program
- $1,000 deployment costs
- $1,000 miscellaneous
That's a total of \$62k. As mentioned, the consortium has pledged \$150k to make this happen. The remaining \$90k would be custodied by the Meta-DAO's treasury, partially to fund the management / operation / maintenance of the platform.
### Terminology
For those who are more familiar with bribe terminology, which I prefer not to use:
- briber = vote buyer
- bribee = vote seller
- bribe platform = vote market / vote market platform
- bribes = vote payments / vote trade volume

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Create Spot Market for META?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-01-12
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/9ABv3Phb44BNF4VFteSi9qcWEyABdnRqkorNuNtzdh2b
- Description: initiate the creation of a spot market for $META tokens, allowing broader public access to the token and establishing liquidity.
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to create a spot market for \$META tokens, establish liquidity through a token sale at a price based on the TWAP of the last passing proposal, and allocate raised funds to support ongoing Meta-DAO initiatives.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders, including token holders and participants in the market, will gain broader access to \$META tokens and improved liquidity.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Successfully launching the spot market could enhance the visibility and trading volume of \$META tokens, benefiting the overall Meta-DAO ecosystem.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
If the proposal fails, the Meta-DAO will be unable to raise funds until March 12, 2024, potentially hindering its operational capabilities.
## Content
### **Overview**
The purpose of this proposal is to initiate the creation of a spot market for \$META tokens, allowing broader public access to the token and establishing liquidity. The proposed market will be funded through the sale of \$META tokens, and the pricing structure will be determined based on the Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of the proposal that passes. The funds raised will be utilized to support the Meta-DAO's ongoing initiatives and operations.
### **Key Components**
#### **Token Sale Structure:**
- The initial token sale will involve the Meta-DAO selling \$META tokens to the public. Anyone can participate.
- The sale price per \$META token will be set at the TWAP of the last passing proposal.
- In case of this proposal failing, the sale will not proceed and Meta-DAO can't raise from public markets till 12 March 2024.
#### **Liquidity Pool Creation:**
- A liquidity pool (LP) will be established to support the spot market.
- Funding for the LP will come from the token sale, with approximately $35,000 allocated for this purpose.
#### **Token Sale Details:**
- Hard cap: 75,000usd
- Sale Price: TWAP of this passing proposal
- Sale Quantity: Hard cap / Sale Price
- Spot Market Opening Price: To be determined, potentially higher than the initial public sale price.
#### **Liquidity Pool Allocation:**
- LP Token Pairing: \$META tokens from treasury paired with approximately \$35,000usd.
- Any additional funds raised beyond the LP allocation will be reserved for operational funding in \$SOL tokens.
### **Next Steps**
1. If approved, initiate the token sale using the most convenient methodology to maximize the event. Proceed with the creation of the SMETA spot market.
2. In case of failure, Meta-DAO will be unable to raise funds until March 12, 2024.
### **Conclusion**
This proposal aims to enhance the Meta-DAO ecosystem experience by introducing a spot market for \$META tokens.
The proposal invites futards to actively participate in shaping the future of the \$META token.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Develop AMM Program for Futarchy?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-01-24
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/CF9QUBS251FnNGZHLJ4WbB2CVRi5BtqJbCqMi47NX1PG
- Description: Develop AMM Program for Futarchy?
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to develop an Automated Market Maker (AMM) program for Futarchy to enhance liquidity, reduce susceptibility to manipulation, and minimize state rent costs associated with current Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs).
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders, including liquidity providers and MetaDAO users, will benefit from improved trading conditions and reduced costs associated with market creation.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The implementation of an AMM could significantly increase liquidity and trading activity by providing a more efficient and user-friendly market mechanism.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There are inherent risks associated with smart contract deployment and uncertain adoption rates from liquidity providers, which could affect the overall success of the AMM.
## Content
## Overview
In the context of Futarchy, CLOBs have a couple of drawbacks:
1. Lack of liquidity
2. Somewhat susceptible to manipulation
3. Pass/fail market pairs cost 3.75 SOL in state rent, which cannot currently be recouped
### Lack of liquidity
Estimating a fair price for the future value of MetaDao under pass/fail conditions is difficult, and most reasonable estimates will have a wide range. This uncertainty discourages people from risking their funds with limit orders near the midpoint price, and has the effect of reducing liquidity (and trading). This is the main reason for switching to AMMs.
### Somewhat susceptible to manipulation
With CLOBs there is always a bid/ask spread, and someone with 1 $META can push the midpoint towards the current best bid/ask. Though this could be countered with a defensive for-profit bot, and as Proph3t puts it: this is a 1/n problem.
Still, users can selectively crank the market of their choosing. Defending against this (cranking markets all the time) would be a bit costly.
Similarly, VWAP can be manipulated by wash trading. An exponential moving average has the same drawbacks in this context as the existing linear-time system.
### State rent costs
If we average 3-5 proposals per month, then annual costs for market creation is 135-225 SOL, or $11475-$19125 at current prices. AMMs cost almost nothing in state rent.
### Solution
An AMM would solve all of the above problems and is a move towards simplicity. We can use the metric: liquidity-weighted price over time. The more liquidity that is on the books, the more weight the current price of the pass or fail market is given. Every time there is a swap, these metrics are updated/aggregated. By setting a high fee (3-5%) we can both: encourage LPs, and aggressively discourage wash-trading and manipulation.
These types of proposals would also require that the proposer lock-up some initial liquidity, and set the starting price for the pass/fail markets.
With this setup, liquidity would start low when the proposal is launched, someone would swap and move the AMM price to their preferred price, and then provide liquidity at that price since the fee incentives are high. Liquidity would increase over the duration of the proposal.
The current CLOB setup requires a minimum order size of 1 META, which is effectively a spam filter against manipulating the midpoint within a wide bid/ask spread. AMMs would not have this restriction, and META could be traded at any desired granularity.
### Additional considerations
> What if a user wants to provide one-sided liquidity?
The most recent passing proposal will create spot markets outside of the pass/fail markets. There will be an AMM, and there is no reason not to create a CLOB as well. Most motivations for providing one-sided liquidity can be satisfied by regular spot-markets, or by arbitraging between spot markets and pass/fail markets. In the future, it may be possible to setup limit orders similarly to how Jupiter limit orders work with triggers and keepers.
Switching to AMMs is not a perfect solution, but I do believe it is a major improvement over the current low-liquidity and somewhat noisy system that we have now.
### Implementation
1. Program + Review
2. Frontend
#### Program + Review
Program changes:
- Write a basic AMM, which tracks liquidity-weighted average price over its lifetime
- Incorporate the AMM into autocrat + conditional vault
- Get feedback to decide if the autocrat and conditional vault should be merged
- Feature to permissionlessly pause AMM swaps and send back positions once there is a verdict (and the instructions have been run, in the case of the pass market)
- Feature to permissionlessly close the AMMs and return the state rent SOL, once there are no positions
Additional quality-of-life changes:
- Loosen time restrictions on when a proposal can be created after the markets are created (currently set to 50 slots, which is very restrictive and has led to extra SOL costs to create redundant markets). Alternatively, bundle these commands in the same function call.
- If a proposal instruction does not work, then revert to fail after X number of days (so that funds dont get stuck forever).
#### Ownership:
- joebuild will write the program changes
- A review will be done by an expert in MetaDAO with availability
#### Frontend
The majority of the frontend integration changes will be completed by 0xNalloK.
### Timeline
Estimate is 3 weeks from passing proposal, with an additional week of review and minor changes.
### Budget and Roles
400 META on passing proposal, with an additional 800 META on completed migration.
program changes (joebuild)
program review (tbd)
frontend work (0xNalloK)
### Rollout & Risks
The main program will be deployed before migration of assets. This should allow for some testing of the frontend and the contract on mainnet. We can use a temporary test subdomain.
The risks here include:
- Standard smart contract risk
- Adoption/available liquidity: similar to an orderbook, available liquidity will be decided by LPs. AMMs will incentivize LP'ing, though adoption within the DAO is not a certainty.
### Section for feedback changes
Any important changes or feedback brought up during the proposal vote will be reflected here, while the text above will remain unchanged.
- It was pointed out that there are ways to recoup openbook state rent costs, though it would require a migration of the current autocrat program.

- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/HyA2h16uPQBFjezKf77wThNGsEoesUjeQf9rFvfAy4tF
- Description: Create Spot Market for META Tokens?
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to execute the creation of a spot market for META by establishing a liquidity pool, allocating META to participants, and compensating multisig members.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Participants will have the opportunity to acquire META and contribute to the liquidity pool, enhancing their engagement with the DAO.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Successfully creating the liquidity pool could lead to increased trading volume and price stability for META.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk of non-compliance from participants regarding USDC transfers, which could hinder the successful funding of the liquidity pool.
## Content
[Proposal 3](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/metadao/proposals/9ABv3Phb44BNF4VFteSi9qcWEyABdnRqkorNuNtzdh2b) passed, giving the DAO the remit to raise money and use some of that money to create an LP pool. Since then, Proph3t and Rar3 have ironed out the details and come up with this plan:
1. People submit their demand into a Google form
2. Proph3t decides how much allocation to give each person
3. Proph3t reaches out on Monday, Feb 5th to people with allocations, telling them they have to transfer the USDC by Wednesday, Feb 7th
4. Some people won't complete this step, so Proph3t will reach out to people who didn't get their full desired allocation on Thursday, Feb 8th to send more USDC until we reach the full 75,000
5. On Friday, Feb 9th the multisig will send out META to all participants, create the liquidity pool (likely on Meteora), and disband
We've created the multisig; it's a 4/6 containing Proph3t, Dean, Nallok, Durden, Rar3, and BlockchainFixesThis. This proposal will transfer 4,130 META to that multisig. This META will be allocated as follows:
- 3100 META to send to participants of the sale
- 1000 META to pair with 35,000 USDC to create the pool (this sets an initial spot price of 35 USDC / META)
- 30 META to renumerate each multisig member with 5 META
Obviously, there is no algorithmic guarantee that the multisig members will actually perform this, but it's unlikely that 4 or more of the multisig members would be willing to tarnish their reputation in order to do something different.

## Content
Drafted with support from: Ben Hawkins and 0xNallok
## Responsible Parties
- Ben Hawkins (`7GmjpH2hpj3A5d6f1LTjXUAy8MR8FDTvZcPY79RDRDhq`)
- Squads Multi-sig (4/6) `Meta-DAO Executor` (`FpMnruqVCxh3o2oBFZ9uSQmshiyfMqzeJ3YfNQfP9tHy`)
- The Meta-DAO (`metaX99LHn3A7Gr7VAcCfXhpfocvpMpqQ3eyp3PGUUq`)
- The Markets
## Overview
- Ben Hawkins (`7GmjpH2hpj3A5d6f1LTjXUAy8MR8FDTvZcPY79RDRDhq`) wishes to acquire up to 500 META (`METADDFL6wWMWEoKTFJwcThTbUmtarRJZjRpzUvkxhr`) from The Meta-DAO Treausry (`ADCCEAbH8eixGj5t73vb4sKecSKo7ndgDSuWGvER4Loy`).
- The price per META shall be determined upon passing of the proposal and the greater of the TWAP price of the pass market and $200.
$$ppM = max(twapPass, 200)$$
- A total of $100,000 USDC (`EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v`) will be committed by Ben Hawkins
- The amount of META shall be determined as the $100,000 USDC funds sent divided by the price determined above.
$$amountMETA = 100,000/ppM$$
- The Meta-DAO will transfer 20% of the final allocation of META to Ben Hawkin's wallet immediately and place 80% of the final allocation of META into a 12 month, linear vest Streamflow program.
- The amount of $100,000 USDC shall be used to create a 50/50 AMM pool with 1% fee matched in META by The Meta-DAO.
- Ben will also send $2,000 USDC in addition to compensate members of The Meta-DAO Executor.
- Any META not sent or utilized for liquidity provisioning shall be returned to The Meta-DAO.
## Background
The current liquidity within the META markets is proving insufficient to support the demand. This proposal addresses this issue by providing immediate liquidity in a sizable amount which should at least provide a temporary backstop to allow proposals to be constructed addressing the entire demand.
## Implementation
The proposal contains the instruction for a transfer 1,000 META into a multisignature wallet `FpMnruqVCxh3o2oBFZ9uSQmshiyfMqzeJ3YfNQfP9tHy` with a 4/6 threshold of which the following parties are be members:
- Proph3t (`65U66fcYuNfqN12vzateJhZ4bgDuxFWN9gMwraeQKByg`)
- Dean (`3PKhzE9wuEkGPHHu2sNCvG86xNtDJduAcyBPXpE6cSNt`)
- 0xNallok (`4LpE9Lxqb4jYYh8jA8oDhsGDKPNBNkcoXobbAJTa3pWw`)
- Durden (`91NjPFfJxQw2FRJvyuQUQsdh9mBGPeGPuNavt7nMLTQj`)
- Blockchainfixesthis (`HKcXZAkT4ec2VBzGNxazWhpV7BTk3frQpSufpaNoho3D`)
- Rar3 (`BYeFEm6n4rUDpyHzDjt5JF8okGpoZUdS2Y4jJM2dJCm4`)
The multisig members instructions are as follows:
- Accept the full USDC amount of $100,000 from Ben Hawkins into the Multi-sig upon launch of proposal
If the proposal passes:
- Accept receipt of META into the Multi-sig as defined by on chain instruction
- Determine and publish the price per META according to the definition above
- Confirmation from two parties within The Meta-DAO that the balances exist and are in full
- Take `$100,000 / ppM` and determine final allocation quantity of META
- Transfer 20% of the final allocation of META to Ben's address `7GmjpH2hpj3A5d6f1LTjXUAy8MR8FDTvZcPY79RDRDhq`
- Configure a 12 month Streamflow vesting program with a linear vest
- Transfer 80% of the final allocation of META into the Streamflow program
- Create a 50/50 Meteora LP 1% Volatile Pool META-USDC allocating at ratios determined and able to be executed via Multi-sig
- Return any remaining META to the DAO treasury
- Make USDC payment to each Multi-sig members
If the proposal fails:
- Make USDC payment to each Multi-sig member.
- Return 100,000 USDC to `7GmjpH2hpj3A5d6f1LTjXUAy8MR8FDTvZcPY79RDRDhq`
## Risks
The price is extremely volatile and given the variance there is an unknown amount at the time of proposal launching which would be introduced into circulation. This will be impactful to the price.
Given there are other proposals with active markets, the capacity for accurate pricing and participation of this proposal is unknown.
This is an experiment and largely contains unknown unknowns, IT CONTAINS EXTREME RISK.
## Result
The proposal evaluates a net increase in value to META by bringing additional liquidity into the ecosystem. This should also improve the capacity for proposal functionality. The expected increase in value to META is ~15% given the fact that the amounts are yet to be determined, but an increase in circulating supply by ~2-7%.
| Details | |
|---|---|
| META Spot Price 2024-02-18 20:20 UTC | $695.92 |
| META Circulating Supply 2024-02-18 20:20 UTC | 14,530 |
| Offer Price | ≥ $200 |
| Offer META | ≤ 500 |
| Offer USDC | $100,000 |
| META Transfer to Circulation | {TBD} % |
| New META Circulating Supply | {TBD} |
Here are some post-money valuations at different prices as well total increase in circulation:
| Price/META | Mcap | Liquidity % of Circulation | Acquisition/LP Circulation | Total |
|--|--|--|--|--|
| $200 | $3.6M | 6.3% | 500 META/500 META ~3.4% | 1000 META ~6.8% |
| $350 | $5.1M | 4.8% | 285 META/285 META ~1.9% | 570 META ~3.8% |
| $700 | $10.2M | 3.8% | 142 META/142 META ~0.9% | 284 META ~1.8% |

- The price per META shall be determined upon passing of the proposal and the lesser of the average TWAP price of the pass / fail market and \$100
$$ ppM = min((twapPass + twapFail) / 2, 100) $$
- A total of \$50,000 USDC (`EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v`) will be committed by Pantera Capital
- The Meta-DAO will transfer 20% of the final allocation of META to the Pantera wallet immediately and place 80% of the final allocation of META into a 12 month, linear vest Streamflow program
## Rationale
Pantera views this investment as a strategic partnership and an opportunity to show support for The Meta-DAO, which is spearheading innovation in decentralized governance. Pantera has invested in the blockchain and crypto ecosystem heavily and looks forward to its long term promise. It views its acquisition of META as an opportunity to test futarchy's potential as an improved system for decentralized governance and provide meaningful feedback for accelerating its development and adoption across the crypto ecosystem.
There is a specific interest in Solana as a proving ground for innovative products and services for blockchain technology, and Pantera desires more direct exposure to the Solana ecosystem.
With respect to the investment, Pantera holds the perspective that The Meta-DAO may be an ideal community within Solana for soliciting additional deal flow. It also highlights support for innovation in the space of governance, support for Solana projects, and a belief that fundamentally, futarchy has a reasonable chance of success.
## Execution
The proposal contains the instruction for a transfer 1,000 META into a multisignature wallet `BtNPTBX1XkFCwazDJ6ZkK3hcUsomm1RPcfmtUrP6wd2K` with a 5/7 threshold of which the following parties will be members:
- Pantera Capital (`6S5LQhggSTjm6gGWrTBiQkQbz3F7JB5CtJZZLMZp2XNE`)
- Pantera Capital (`4kjRZzWWRZGBto2iKB6V7dYdWuMRtSFYbiUnE2VfppXw`)
- 0xNallok (`4LpE9Lxqb4jYYh8jA8oDhsGDKPNBNkcoXobbAJTa3pWw`)
- MetaProph3t (`65U66fcYuNfqN12vzateJhZ4bgDuxFWN9gMwraeQKByg`)
- Dodecahedr0x (`UuGEwN9aeh676ufphbavfssWVxH7BJCqacq1RYhco8e`)
- Durden (`91NjPFfJxQw2FRJvyuQUQsdh9mBGPeGPuNavt7nMLTQj`)
- Blockchainfixesthis (`HKcXZAkT4ec2VBzGNxazWhpV7BTk3frQpSufpaNoho3D`)
The multisig members instructions are as follows:
- Accept receipt of META into the multisig as defined by on chain instruction
- Accept the full USDC amount of $50,000 from Pantera Capital into the multisig
- Determine and publish the price per META according to the definition above
- Confirmation from two parties within The Meta-DAO that the balances exist and are in full
- Take `$50,000 / calculated per META` and determine final allocation quantity of META
- Transfer 20% of the final allocation of META to Pantera's address `FLzqFMQo2KmsenkMP4Y82kYVnKTJJfahTJUWUDSp2ZX5`
- Configure a 12 month Streamflow vesting program with a linear vest
- Transfer 80% of the final allocation of META into the Streamflow program
- Return any remaining META to the DAO treasury
## ROI to META
The proposal evaluates a net increase in value to META by bringing on a strategic partner such as Pantera which would boost visibility and afford some cash holdings. This proposal speculates a ~25% increase in META value due to the high profile of Pantera and their offering of strategic resources to the project.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Develop Multi-Option Proposals?
- Status: Failed
- Created: 2024-02-20
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/J7dWFgSSuMg3BNZBAKYp3AD5D2yuaaLUmyKqvxBZgHht
- Description: Develop Multi-Option Proposals
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to develop multi-modal proposal functionality for the MetaDAO, allowing for multiple mutually-exclusive outcomes in decision-making, and seeks compensation of 200 META distributed across four milestones.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders will benefit from enhanced decision-making capabilities that allow for the consideration of multiple options, improving governance efficiency.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Implementing this feature could increase the DAO's value by approximately 12.1%, enhancing its decision-making bandwidth and innovation in governance.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk that the project may face delays due to other priorities or complications in development, potentially impacting the timeline for delivering the proposed features.
## Content
This is a proposal to pay me (agrippa) in META to create multi-modal proposal functionality.
As it stands proposals have two outcomes: Pass or Fail.
A multi-modal proposal is one with multiple mutually-exclusive outcomes, one of which is Fail and the rest of which are other things.
For example, you can imagine a proposal to choose the first place prize of the Solana Scribes contest, where there's a conditional market on each applicant![^1] Without multi-modal proposals, a futarchic DAO has basically no mechanism for making choices like this, but multi-modal proposals solve it quite well.
Architecturally speaking there is no need to hard-limit the number of conditions in a conditional vault / number of outcomes in a proposal.
I believe even in the medium term it will prove to be a crucial feature that provides a huge amount of value to the DAO[^2], and I believe the futarchic DAO software is currently far and away the DAO's most important asset and worth investing in.
### Protocol complexity and risk
Unlike other potential expansions of DAO complexity, multi-modal proposals do not particularly introduce any new security / mechanism design considerations. If you can maliciously get through "proposal option 12", you could have also gotten through Pass in a binary proposal because conditional markets do not compete with eachother over liquidity.
[^1]: You'd probably filter them down at least a little bit, though in principle you don't need to. Also, you could award the 2nd and 3rd place prizes to the 2nd and 3rd highest trading contestants 🤔… kinda neat.
[^2]: Down the line, I think multi-modal proposals are really quite interesting. For example, for each proposal anyone makes, you could have a mandatory draft stage where before the conditional vault actually goes live anyone can add more alternatives to the same proposal. **I think this would be really effective at cutting out pork** and is the primary mechanism for doing so.
## About me
I have been leading development on https://github.com/solana-labs/governance-ui/ (aka the Realms frontend) for Solana Labs for the past year. Aside from smart contract dev, I'm an expert at making web3 frontends performant and developer-ergonomic (hint: it involves using react-query a lot). I started what was probably the very first high-school blockchain club in the world in 2014, with my then-Physics-teacher Jed who now works at Jito. In my undergrad I did research at Cornell's Initiative for Cryptocurrency and Contracts and in 2017 I was invited to a smart contract summit in China because of some Sybil resistance work I was doing at the time (Vitalik was there!).
I developed the [first conditional tokens vault on Solana](https://github.com/Nimblefoot/precogparty/tree/main/programs/precog) as part of a prediction market reference implementation[^3] (grant-funded by FTX of all people, rest in peace 🙏). This has influenced changes to the existing metadao conditional vault, [referenced here](https://discord.com/channels/1155877543174475859/1174824703513342082/1194351565734170664), which I've been asked to help test and review.
I met Proph3t in Greece this past December and we spent about 3 hours walking and talking in the pouring rain about the Meta-DAO and futarchy. During our conversation I told him what Hanson tells people: futarchy isn't used because organizations don't actually want it, they'd rather continue to get fat on organizational inefficiencies. But my thinking has changed!
1. I've now seen how excited talented builders and teams are about implementing futarchy (as opposed to wanting to cling to control)
2. I've realized just how fun futarchy is and I want it for myself regardless of anything else
[^3]: I did actually came up with the design myself, but it's been invented multiple times including for example Gnosis conditional vaults on Ethereum.
### Value
To me these are the main points of value. I have included my own subjective estimates on how much more the DAO is worth if this feature was fully implemented. (Bare in mind we are "double dipping" here, these improvements include both the functioning of the Meta-DAO itself and the value of the Meta-DAO's best asset, the dao software)
- Ability to weigh multiple exclusive alternatives at once literally exponentially increases the DAO's decision-making bandwidth in relevant cases (+5%)
- Multi-modal proposals with a draft stage are the best solution to the deeply real game-theoretic problem of pork barrel (+5%)
- Multi-modal proposals are cool and elegant. Selection among multiple alternatives is a very challenging problem in voting mechanism design, usually solved poorly (see: elections). Multi-modal futarchic proposals are innovative and exciting not just in the context of futarchy, but all of governance! That's hype (+2%)
- A really kickass conditional vault implementation is useful for other protocols and this one would be the best. It could collect very modest fees for the DAO each time tokens are deposited into it. (yes, protocols can just fork it, but usually this doesn't happen: see Serum pre explosion, etc) (+0.1%)
So that is (in my estimation) +12.1% value to the Meta-DAO.
According to https://dune.com/metadaohogs/themetadao circulating supply is 14,416 META. `14416 * (100 + 12.1)% = 16160`, so this feature set would be worth a dilution of **+1744 META**. I am proposing you pay me much less than that.
I also believe that I am uniquely positioned to do the work to a very high standard of competence. In particular, I think making the contract work without a limit on # of alternatives requires a deep level of understanding of Anchor and Solana smart contract design, but is necessary in order to future-proof and fully realize the feature's potential.
### Compensation and Milestones
I believe in this project and do not want cash. I am asking for 200 META disbursed in 50 META intervals across 4 milestones:
1. Immediately upon passage of this proposal
2. Upon completing the (new from scratch) multi-modal conditonal vault program
3. Upon making futarch work with multi-modal conditional vaults
4. Upon integrating all related features into the frontend
I think this would take me quite a few weeks to do by myself. I think it's premature to establish any concrete timeline because other priorities may take precedence (for example spending some time refactoring querying and state in the FE). However, if that does happen, I won't allow this project to get stuck in limbo (if nothing else, consider my incentive to subcontract from my network of talented crypto devs).
Milestone completion would be assessed by a (3/5) Squads multisig comprised of:
- **Proph3t** (65U66fcYuNfqN12vzateJhZ4bgDuxFWN9gMwraeQKByg), who needs no explanation
- **DeanMachine** (3PKhzE9wuEkGPHHu2sNCvG86xNtDJduAcyBPXpE6cSNt), who I believe is well known and trusted by both the Meta-DAO and the broader DAO community.
- **0xNallok** (4LpE9Lxqb4jYYh8jA8oDhsGDKPNBNkcoXobbAJTa3pWw), who is supporting in operations and early organization within The Meta-DAO, and who has committed to being available for review of progress and work.
- **LegalizeOnionFutures** (EyuaQkc2UtC4WveD6JjT37ke6xL2Cxz43jmdCC7QXZQE), who I believe is a sharp and invested member of the Meta-DAO who will hold my work to a high standard.
- **sapphire** (9eJgizx2jWDLbyK7VMMUekRBKY3q5uVwv5LEXhf1jP3s), who has done impactful security related-work with Realms, informal security review of the Meta-DAO contracts, and is an active member of the Meta-DAO.
I selected this council because I wanted to keep it lean to reduce overhead but also diverse and representative of the DAO's interests. I will pay each member 2.5 META upon passage as payment for representing the DAO.
I would be very excited to join this futarchic society as a major techinical contributor. Thanks for your consideration :-)

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Increase META Liquidity via a Dutch Auction?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-02-26
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/Dn638yPirR3e2UNNECpLNJApDhxsjhJTAv9uEd9LBVVT
- Description: Increase META Liquidity via a Dutch Auction
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to increase META liquidity through a manual Dutch auction on OpenBook, selling 1,000 META and pairing the USDC obtained with META for enhanced liquidity on Meteora.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders, including Meta DAO members and liquidity providers, may benefit from improved liquidity and trading conditions for META.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The initiative could result in a significant increase in protocol-owned liquidity and potentially higher trading fees due to more efficient liquidity management.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk of insufficient demand for META during the auction, which may lead to lower-than-expected liquidity or losses if prices drop significantly.
## Content
#### Responsible Parties
Durden, Ben H, Nico, joebuild, and Dodecahedr0x.
### Overview
Sell META via a Dutch auction executed manually through OpenBook, and pair the acquired USDC with META to provide liquidity on Meteora.
### Background
Given the currently low volume and high volatility of META, there is little incentive to provide liquidity (low fees, high risk of impermanent loss). Yet there seems to be near-universal agreement in the Meta DAO Discord that greater liquidity would be highly beneficial to the project.
While the DAO has plenty of META, to provide liquidity it needs USDC to pair with it's META. This USDC can be acquired by selling META.
There is currently strong demand for META, with an oversubscribed raise (proposal 3), proposals from notable parties attemtpting to purchase META at below market price, and a well-known figure DCAing into META. There is thus no need to sell META for USDC at below market prices; we only need to sell META at a price that would be better than if they were to buy through the market.
This proposal seeks to manually perform a Dutch auction using OpenBook. This serves a few purposes: price discovery through a market that is open to all, low smart contract risk (relative to using a custom Dutch auction program), simplicity (which will result in wider participation), and ease of execution (just place asks on OpenBook).
### Implementation
Meta DAO will sell a total of 1,000 META.
The META will be sold in tranches of 100 META by placing asks above the spot price. The first tranche will be placed 50% above the spot price. Every 24 hours, if the ask is more than 6% above the spot price, it will be lowered by 5%.
Whenever an ask is filled, a new ask worth 100 META will be placed 10% above the spot price. In addition, USDC from the filled asks will be paired with META and added to the 4% fee pool.
The multisig currently holding the liquidity in the [4% fee pool](https://app.meteora.ag/pools/6t2CdBC26q9tj6jBwPzzFZogtjX8mtmVHUmAFmjAhMSn) will send their LP tokens to this proposal's multisig. After the 1,000 META has all been sold, all of Meta DAO's liquidity will be moved to the [1% fee pool](https://app.meteora.ag/pools/53miVooS2uLfVpiKShXpMqh6PkZhmfDXiRAzs3tNhjwC). The LP tokens will be sent to the treasury to be held as permanent liquidity until Meta DAO decides otherwise.
All operations will be executed through a 3/5 Squads multisig.
Multisig address: `LMRVapqnn1LEwKaD8PzYEs4i37whTgeVS41qKqyn1wi`
The multisig is composed of the following five members:
Durden: `91NjPFfJxQw2FRJvyuQUQsdh9mBGPeGPuNavt7nMLTQj`
Ben H: `Hu8qped4Cj7gQ3ChfZvZYrtgy2Ntr6YzfN7vwMZ2SWii`
Nico: `6kDGqrP4Wwqe5KBa9zTrgUFykVsv4YhZPDEX22kUsDMP`
joebuild: `XXXvLz1B89UtcTsg2hT3cL9qUJi5PqEEBTHg57MfNkZ`
Dodecahedr0x: `UuGEwN9aeh676ufphbavfssWVxH7BJCqacq1RYhco8e`
I will be using the SquadsX wallet to propose transactions to interact with OpenBook through [Prism's UI](https://v4xyz.prism.ag/trade/v2/2Fgj6eyx9mpfc27nN16E5sWqmBovwiT52LTyPSX5qdba). Once proposed, I will vote on the proposed transaction and wait for two other multisig members to sign and execute.
If the proposal passes, those with the permissions to make announcements in the Discord and access to the Meta DAO Twitter account will be notified so they can announce this initiative.
### Compensation
I am requesting a payment of 5 META to cover the cost of creating the market for this proposal and for the effort of crafting this proposal and carrying it out to completion.
For the compensation of the multisig members other than myself, I performed a sealed-bid auction via Discord DMs for the amount of META that each of the 10 candidates would require to become a member. Those who were willing to join for the least amount of META were selected. Only individuals who were already respectable Meta DAO members were selected as candidates so that regardless of who was chosen we didn't end up in a precarious situation. This was done in order to create a competitive dynamic that minimizes the cost incurred by Meta DAO.
The candidates with the lowest asks and their requested amounts were as follows:
- Ben H 0 META
- Nico 0 META
- joebuild 0.2 META
- Dodecahedr0x 0.25 META
All compensatory payments will be made by the multisig to each individual upon the completion of the proposal.
### Total Required META
Since the amount of META needed to be paired for liquidity is unknown until the META is actually sold, we will request double the amount of META to be sold, which leaves a fairly large margin for price to increase and still have enough META. In the event that there is insufficient META to pair with the USDC, the excess USDC will be returned to the treasury. Similarly, any META slated for liquidity that is leftover will be returned to the treasury.
META to be sold: 1,000
META for liquidity: 2,000
META for compensation: 5.45
**Total: 3,005.45**
### Result
This proposal will significantly increase Meta DAO's protocol-owned liquidity as well as move its existing liquidity to a more efficient fee tier, addressing recent complaints and concerns regarding META's liquidity.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Burn 99.3% of META in Treasury?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-03-03
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/ELwCkHt1U9VBpUFJ7qGoVMatEwLSr1HYj9q9t8JQ1NcU
- Description: Burn 99.3% of META in Treasury?
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to burn approximately 99.3% of treasury-held META tokens to reduce the Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV), enhance the attractiveness of META for investors, and promote community engagement.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This action seeks to encourage broader participation from potential investors and community members by lowering the FDV.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The reduction in token supply could increase demand and perceived value of META, leading to improved investor interest and engagement.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
Burning a significant portion of tokens may limit future financial flexibility and could deter investors concerned about long-term supply dynamics.
## Content
#### Authors

### Overview
Burn ~99.3% `979,000` of treasury-held META tokens to significantly reduce the FDV, with the goal of making META more appealing to investors and enhancing community engagement.
### Background
The META DAO is currently perceived to have a **high Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV)** due to the substantial amount of META tokens in the treasury, approximately `985,000 tokens`. This high FDV often **discourages potential investors and participants** from engaging with META, as they may perceive the investment as less attractive right from the start.
### Issue at Hand
The primary concern is that the high FDV and treasury leads to the following problems:
1. **It encourages the use of META for expenses.**
2. **It lowers the attractiveness of META as an investment opportunity** at face value.
3. **It reduces the number of individuals willing to participate** in this futuarchy experiment.
While a high FDV can deter less informed community members, which has its benefits, it also potentially wards off highly valuable community members who could contribute positively.
#### Examples
- https://imgur.com/a/KHMjJqo
- https://imgur.com/a/3DH2jcO
### Proposed Solution
We propose **burning approximately ~99.3%** of the META tokens -`99,000 tokens` - currently held in the DAO's treasury. This action is aimed at achieving the following outcomes:
- **Elimination of Treasury META Payments**: Reduces the propensity to utilize $META from the treasury for proposal payments, promoting a healthier economic framework.
- **Market-Based Token Acquisition**: Future requirements for $META tokens will necessitate market purchases, fostering demand and enhancing token value.
- **Prioritization of $USDC and Revenue**: Shifting towards $USDC payments and focusing on revenue generation marks a move towards financial sustainability and robustness.
- **Confidence Boost in META**: By significantly reducing the supply of META tokens, we signal a strong commitment to the token's value, **potentially leading to increased interest and participation in prop 10 execution.**
- **Attracting a Broader Community**: Lowering the FDV makes META more attractive at face value, inviting a wider range of participants, including those who conduct thorough research and those attracted by the token's perceived tokenomics.
### Rundown of Numbers:
- **Current Treasury:** `982,464 META tokens`
- **After Burning:** `3,464 META tokens`
- **Post-Proposition 10:** An expected `1,000 META tokens` should be added back from multisig after prop 10, ranging anywhere from `0 to 3,000 META`.
- **Final Treasury:** After burning, the treasury would have around `4,500 META`, valued at `$4 million`, plus `$2 million in META-USDC LP` at todays price `$880 / META`.
- **Total META supply:** `20,885`
#### Note
Adopting this proposal does **not permanently cap our token supply.** The community is currently discussing the possibility of transitioning to a **mintable token model**, which would provide the flexibility to issue more tokens if the need arises.

*A note from 0xNallok: Special thanks are owed to the many parties who've supported the project thus far, to those who've taken massive risk on utilizing the systems and believing in a better crypto. It has been one of the most exciting things, not in attention, but seeing the “aha!” moments and expanding the understanding of what is possible with crypto.*

## Overview
The appetite for market-driven governance is palpable. We have a tremendous opportunity to take this labor of love and shape it into a prime-time product. Such a product would be a great boon to the Solana ecosystem and to the MetaDAO's bottom line.
If passed, this proposal would fund two workstreams:
- **Minimum viable product**: I would coordinate the creation of a minimum viable product: a Realms-like UI that allows people to create and participate in futarchic DAOs. This requires some modifications to the smart contract and UI to allow for more than one DAO.
- **UI improvements**: I've already been working with engineers to add helpful functionality to the UI. This proposal would fund these features, including:
- historical charts
- improving UX around surfacing information (e.g., showing how much money you have deposited in each proposal)
- showing historical trades
- showing market volume
The goal would be to onboard some early adopter DAOs to test alongside MetaDAO. A few teams have already expressed interest.
## Problem
Most people in crypto agree that the state of governance is abysmal. Teams can loot the treasury without repercussions[^1]. Decentralization theatre abounds[^2]. Even some projects that build DAO tooling don't feel comfortable keeping their money in a DAO[^3].
The root cause of this issue is token-voting. One-token-one-vote systems have clear incentive traps[^4] that lead to uninformed and unengaged voters. Delegated voting systems ('liquid democracy') don't fare much better: most holders don't even do enough research to delegate.
## Design
![Screenshot 2024-03-07 at 1.40.37 PM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hyg89FDTa.jpg)
A possible solution that MetaDAO has been testing out is futarchy. In a futarchy, it's markets that make the decisions. Given that markets are empirically better than experts at predicting things, we expect futarchies to perform better than traditional DAOs.
Our objective is to build a product that allows DAOs in the Solana ecosystem to harness the power of the market for their decision-making. This product would look and feel like [Realms](https://realms.today/), only with futarchy instead of voting.
Our short-term goal is to create a minimum viable iteration of this. This iteration would support the following flows:
- I, as a DAO creator, can come to a website and create a futarchic DAO
- I, as a futarchic trader, can trade in multiple DAOs proposals' futarchic markets
To monetize this in the long-term, we could:
- Collect licensing fees
- Collect taker/maker fees in the conditional markets
- Provide ancillary consulting services to help DAOs manage their futarchies
The minimum viable product wouldn't support these. We would instead work with a few select DAOs and sign agreements with them to migrate to a program with fee collection within 6 months of it being released if they wish to continue to use MetaDAO's offering.
### Objectives and Key Results
**Release a minimum viable product by May 21st, 2024**
- Extend the smart contract to support multiple DAOs
- Generalize the UI to support multiple DAOs
- Create docs for interacting with the product
- Partner with 3 DAOs to have them use the product at launch-time
**Improve the overall UI/UX**
- Create an indexer and APIs for order and trade history
- Improve the user experience for creating proposals
- Improve the user experience for trading proposals
### Timeline
**Phase 1**
Initial discussions around implementation, services and visual components
UI design for components
Development of components in React
Program development
Data services / APIs construction
**Phase 2**
Program deployed on devnet
Data services / APIs linked with devnet

**Phase 4**
Proposal for migration of program
UI live on mainnet
Create documentation and videos
**Final**
Migrate program
## Budget
This project is expected to have deliverables within 30 days with full deployment within two months.
Below is the inclusion of estimated **MAXIMUM** _costs and hours_ for the following roles[^5]. **If costs do incur beyond this estimate the cost is to be borne by the Entrepreneur.**
A fair estimate of `$96,000`[^6] for the two months including the following:
- 1 smart contract engineer (\$15,000) (160 hours)
- 1 auditor (\$10,000) (40 hours)
- 2 UI / UX (\$32,000) (400 hours)
- 1 data/services developer (\$13,000) (140 hours)
- 1 project manager / research / outreach (\$26,000) (320 hours)
The Entrepreneur (0xNallok) would fill in various roles, but primarily the project manager.
This will be funded through:
- Transfer of \$40,000 USDC from the existing funds in the multi-sig treasury.
- Transfer of 342 META[^7] which will be used when payment is due to convert to USDC.
- The funds will be transferred to a 2/3 mult-sig including 0xNallok, Proph3t and Nico.
- Payments to the parties will be done weekly.
> The reason for overallocation of META is due to the price fluctuation of the asset and necessity for payment in USDC. This takes the cost minus the \$40k USDC (\$56k) divided by the current price of 1 META (\$818.284) multiplied by a factor of 5.
> Any remaining META once the project is completed will be transferred back to the MetaDAO treasury.
MetaDAO Executor (`FpMnruqVCxh3o2oBFZ9uSQmshiyfMqzeJ3YfNQfP9tHy`)
MetaDAO Treasury (`ADCCEAbH8eixGj5t73vb4sKecSKo7ndgDSuWGvER4Loy`)
FaaS Multi-sig (`AHwsoL97vXFdvckVZdXw9rrvnUDcPANCLVQzJan9srWy`)
> 0xNallok (`4LpE9Lxqb4jYYh8jA8oDhsGDKPNBNkcoXobbAJTa3pWw`)
> Proph3t (`65U66fcYuNfqN12vzateJhZ4bgDuxFWN9gMwraeQKByg`)
> Nico (`6kDGqrP4Wwqe5KBa9zTrgUFykVsv4YhZPDEX22kUsDMP`)
This proposal includes the transfer instruction from the MetaDAO treasury, the additional funds will be transferred from the MetaDAO Executor.
## Business
Ultimately, the goal of the MetaDAO is to make money. There are a few ways to monetize FaaS all dependent on what appeals most to DAOs:
- **Taker fees on markets**: we could take 5 - 25 basis points via a taker fee on markets.
- **Monthly licensing fees**: because the code is BSL, we could charge a monthly fee for the code and the site
- **Support and services**: we could also provide consultation services around futarchic governance, like a Gauntlet model.
In general, we should aim for **vertical integration**. The goal is not to build this product as a primitive and then allow anyone to build front-ends for it: it's to own the whole stack.
### Financial Projections
Today, 293 DAOs use Realms. Realms is a free platform, so plenty of these DAOs are inactive and wouldn't be paying customers. So we estimate that we could acquire 5 - 100 DAOs as customers.
As for estimating ARPU (average revenue per user), we can start by looking at the volume in the MetaDAO's markets:
![Screenshot from 2024-02-26 19-52-03](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1HbnwcnT.png)
Note that this only includes the volume in the finalized market, as all trades in the other market are reverted and thus wouldn't collect fees.
So assuming that proposal 6 - 8 are an appropriate sample, we could earn ~\$50 - \$500 per proposal. If DAOs see between 1 - 2 proposals per month, that's \$100 - \$1,000 in taker fee ARPU.
As for monthly licensing fees, Squads charges \$99 / month for SquadsX and \$399 / month for Squads Pro. I suspect that DAOs would be willing to pay a premium for governance. So we can estimate between \$50 - \$1,000 in monthly licensing fees.
Putting these together:
![Screenshot from 2024-02-26 19-54-59](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJvsnvc3p.png)
The support & services business is different enough that it deserves its own model. This is because consulting / advisory businesses have non-zero marginal costs (you can't earn $25,000,000 in revenue from one consultant) and have lower defensibility. Both cause them to receive lower valuation multiples.
Here's what we project:
![Screenshot from 2024-02-26 19-29-19](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B10c8vq3p.png)
Of course, you can use your own numbers if you'd like to come up with your own estimates.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Engage in $250,000 OTC Trade with Colosseum?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-03-19
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/5qEyKCVyJZMFZSb3yxh6rQjqDYxASiLW7vFuuUTCYnb1
- Description: Colosseum's Acquisition of $250,000 USDC worth of META
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
Colosseum proposes to acquire META from The MetaDAO Treasury for up to $250,000, with the price per META set based on market conditions. If the proposal passes, Colosseum will receive 20% of the META immediately and the remaining 80% will be vested over 12 months.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
The proposal could enhance collaboration between Colosseum and MetaDAO, providing access to new entrepreneurs and funding opportunities.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Strategic partnership with Colosseum may significantly increase the long-term value and growth potential of META through enhanced visibility and support for startups.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
Market volatility could render the acquisition void if the price of META exceeds $1,200, potentially limiting the expected benefits of the partnership.
## Content
### Overview
- Colosseum wishes to acquire {tbd} META (METADDFL6wWMWEoKTFJwcThTbUmtarRJZjRpzUvkxhr) from The MetaDAO Treasury (ADCCEAbH8eixGj5t73vb4sKecSKo7ndgDSuWGvER4Loy).
- If the proposal passes, the price per META will be the TWAP of the pass market if below \$850. If this proposal is approved and the pass market TWAP surpasses \$850 per META, but is below \$1,200, then the acquisition price per META will be \$850. If the pass market TWAP surpasses \$1,200, then this proposal becomes void and the USDC in the multisig will be returned to Colosseums wallet.
- A total of \$250,000 USDC (EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v) will be committed by Colosseum.
- The MetaDAO will transfer 20% of the final allocation of META to Colosseum's wallet immediately and place 80% of the final allocation of META into a 12 month, linear vest Streamflow program.
### Rationale
Colosseum runs Solanas hackathons, supports winning founders through a new accelerator program, and invests in their startups. Our mission is to bolster innovative improvements to technology, economics, and governance in crypto through all 3 pillars of our organization. In line with that mission, we believe MetaDAO is one of the most promising early experiments in crypto and we strongly believe we can help the project grow significantly due to our unique position in the Solana ecosystem.
In addition to the capital infusion provided by Colosseum, our primary value proposition is our ability to bring new entrepreneurs and cyber agents to MetaDAO over the long-term. Given that a majority of the VC-backed startups in the Solana ecosystem started in hackathons, we can utilize both our hackathons and accelerator program to funnel talented developers, founders, and ultimately revenue-generating startups to the DAO.
In practice, there are many ways Colosseum can promote MetaDAO and we want to collaborate with the DAO community around ongoing initiatives. To show our commitment towards future collaborations, we promise that if this proposal passes, the MetaDAO will be the sponsor of the DAO track in the next Solana hackathon after Renaissance, at no additional cost. The next DAO track prize pool will be between \$50,000 - \$80,000.
### Execution
The proposal contains the instruction for a transfer {tbd} META into a Squads multisignature wallet [FhJHnsCGm9JDAe2JuEvqr67WE8mD2PiJMUsmCTD1fDPZ] with a 5/7 threshold of which the following parties will be members:
- Colosseum (REDACTED)
- Colosseum (REDACTED)
- MetaProph3t (65U66fcYuNfqN12vzateJhZ4bgDuxFWN9gMwraeQKByg)
- 0xNallok (4LpE9Lxqb4jYYh8jA8oDhsGDKPNBNkcoXobbAJTa3pWw)
- Cavemanloverboy (2EvcwLAHvXW71c8d1uEXTCbVZjzMpYUQL5h64PuYUi3T)
- Dean (3PKhzE9wuEkGPHHu2sNCvG86xNtDJduAcyBPXpE6cSNt)
- Durden (91NjPFfJxQw2FRJvyuQUQsdh9mBGPeGPuNavt7nMLTQj)
The multisig members instructions are as follows:
1. Accept receipt of META into the multisig as defined by onchain instruction
2. Accept the full USDC amount of \$250,000 from Colosseum into the multisig
3.Determine and publish the price per META according to the definition above
4. Confirmation from two parties within The MetaDAO that the balances exist and are in fullTake \$250,000 / calculated per META and determine final allocation quantity of META
5. Transfer 20% of the final allocation of META to Colosseums address [REDACTED]
6. Configure a 12 month Streamflow vesting program with a linear vest
7. Transfer 80% of the final allocation of META into the Streamflow program
8. Return any remaining META to the DAO treasury
> NOTE: The reason for transferring 2,060 META is due to the fact that there is only one transfer and by overallocating we have a wider price range to be able to execute the instructions above. This is due to the fluctuations in the price of META.
For example if the price of TWAP for META is \$250 by the time the proposal passes, the amount of META allocated for the \$250,000/\$250 = 1,000 META. In this case 1,060 META would be returned to the treasury.
### ROI to META
We wont speculate on what the exact ROI will be to META in the short to medium-term. However, if this proposal passes, we believe that our strategic partnership will increase the value of META significantly over the long-term due to Colosseums unique ability to embed MetaDAO as a viable institution that can help future crypto founders grow their businesses.
### Details
- META Spot Price 2024-03-18 18:09 UTC: \$468.09
- META Circulating Supply 2024-03-18 18:09 UTC: 17,421
- Circulating supply could change depending on the current dutch auction
- Offer Price per 1 META: Any market price up to \$850 per 1 META
- Offer USDC: \$250,000

- Description: Takeover BDF3M
- Categories: {'category': 'Operations'}
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
This proposal aims to appoint Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators for three months to expedite decision-making and business operations within MetaDAO while managing retroactive compensation and enhancing the proposal process.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders will benefit from quicker decision-making and improved operational efficiency, potentially increasing MetaDAO's chances of success.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The proposal could lead to a more agile organization capable of completing 10 GitHub issues weekly and enhancing community engagement through regular updates.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
If the proposal fails, it could significantly decrease the likelihood of MetaDAO's success by over 20%, jeopardizing its future operations.
## Content
#### Entrepreneur(s)
Proph3t, Nallok
## Overview
Today, MetaDAO is not executing as fast as a normal startup would. At the crux of this is that *the current proposal process is too slow and costly*. We can and will fix that, but in the short-term we need some of MetaDAO's key decisions to be made outside of the proposal process.
This proposal would appoint Proph3t and Nallok to be Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M). Their term would be from the finalization of this proposal to June 30th. At that point, either the futarchy will be able to function autonomously or another proposal will need to be raised.
We are requesting 1015 META and 100,000 USDC to handle 4 months of retroactive compensation (December - March) and 3 months of forward-looking compensation (April - June). So an average of 145 META and $14,000 per month.
Given that this is a critical juncture in MetaDAO's timeline, we believe that this proposal failing would decrease the probability of MetaDAO's success by more than 20%.
## OKRs
#### Execute faster
- Complete 10 issues on GitHub per week
#### Handle business operations
- Perform retroactive compensation for the months of December, January, February, and March within 1 week of the proposal passing
- Perform operations compensation for April, May, and June
- Oversee the creation of a new kickass landing page
## Project
If passed, this proposal would appoint Proph3t and Nallok as interim leaders. The following would fall under their domain:
- Retroactive compensation for all contributions to MetaDAO prior to this proposal
- Managing ongoing business operations, including:
- Steering the off-chain proposal process, including providing proposal and communication guidelines for proposers and compensating proposers when appropriate
- Steering MetaDAO-wide project management
- Handling any expenses or required activities required to operate effectively
- Improving the security and efficacy of the core futarchy mechanism
- Providing monthly updates to the MetaDAO community
- Compensation for current contributors, including the incentive-based part
The proposal would also allow Nallok or Proph3t to make exceptional use grants for MetaDAO's code licenses.
For technical reasons, no META nor USDC would come directly from the DAO's treasury. It would instead come from various multisigs.
Although we make no hard commitments, the META would likely be issued in 5-year locked form, as described [here](https://medium.com/@metaproph3t/-6d9ca555363e).

The proposal aims to upgrade the Autocrat Program to v0.2 by introducing reclaimable rent, conditional token merging, and improved token metadata, along with several configuration changes to enhance functionality and user experience.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders will benefit from reduced proposal creation costs and improved token usability, which may lead to increased participation in governance.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The upgrade could enhance liquidity and user experience, potentially attracting more users and proposals to the MetaDAO ecosystem.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk of technical issues during the migration process or unforeseen consequences from the configuration changes that could disrupt current operations.
## Content
#### Author(s)
HenryE, Proph3t
## Overview
It's time to upgrade futarchy!
This upgrade includes three new features and a number of smaller config changes.
### The features:
- Reclaimable rent: you will now be able to get back the ~4 SOL used to create OpenBook proposal markets. This should lower the friction involved in creating proposals.
- Conditional token merging: now, if you have 1 pTOKEN and 1 fTOKEN, you'll me able to merge them back into 1 TOKEN. This should help with liquidity when there are multiple proposals active at once.
- Conditional token metadata: before, you would see conditional tokens in your wallet as random mint addresses. After this is merged, you should be able to see token names and logos, helping you identify what proposal they're a part of.
### The config changes:
- Lower pass threshold from 5% to 3%
- Set default TWAP value to $100 instead of $1
- Update TWAP in $5 increments instead of 1% increments, which enhances manipulation resistance while allowing the TWAP to be more accure
- Change minimum META lot sizes from 1 META to 0.1 META
The instruction attached to this proposal will migrate MetaDAO's assets over to the new autocrat program.
There are three main futarchy programs and a migrator program for transfering tokens from one DAO treasury account to another:
1. [autocrat_v0](https://solscan.io/account/metaRK9dUBnrAdZN6uUDKvxBVKW5pyCbPVmLtUZwtBp)
2. [openbook_twap](https://solscan.io/account/twAP5sArq2vDS1mZCT7f4qRLwzTfHvf5Ay5R5Q5df1m)
3. [conditional_vault](https://solscan.io/account/vAuLTQjV5AZx5f3UgE75wcnkxnQowWxThn1hGjfCVwP)
4. [migrator](https://solscan.io/account/MigRDW6uxyNMDBD8fX2njCRyJC4YZk2Rx9pDUZiAESt)
Each program has been deployed to devnet and mainnet, their IDLs have been deployed, and they've been verified by the OtterSec API against the programs in the two repos; [futarchy](https://github.com/metaDAOproject/futarchy) contains autocrat_v0, conditional_vault and migrator, and a separate repo contains [openbook_twap](https://github.com/metaDAOproject/openbook-twap). The Treasury account is the DAO's signer and has been set as the program upgrade authority on all programs.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Approve Performance-Based Compensation Package for Proph3t and Nallok?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-05-27
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/BgHv9GutbnsXZLZQHqPL8BbGWwtcaRDWx82aeRMNmJbG
- Description: Align the incentives of key insiders, Proph3t and Nallok, with the long-term success and growth of MetaDAO.
- Categories: {'category': 'Operations'}
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal seeks to align the financial incentives of key insiders Proph3t and Nallok with MetaDAO's long-term success by providing a performance-based compensation package consisting of a percentage of token supply linked to market cap increases and a fixed annual salary.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Key insiders are incentivized to commit to MetaDAO's growth, potentially enhancing the project's viability and success.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
If successful, the proposed compensation structure could motivate Proph3t and Nallok to maximize their efforts, leading to substantial increases in MetaDAO's market cap.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The proposal may reinforce a reliance on specific individuals, potentially undermining the decentralized ethos of MetaDAO and exposing it to risks if these insiders leave or fail to deliver.
## Content
#### Type
Operations Direct Action
#### Author(s)
Proph3t, Nallok
#### Objective
Align the incentives of key insiders, Proph3t and Nallok, with the long-term success and growth of MetaDAO.
## Overview
We propose that MetaDAO adopt a [convex payout system](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16W7o-kEVbRPIm3i2zpEVQar6z_vlt0qgiHEdYV1TAPU/edit#heading=h.rlnpkfo7evkj).
Specifically, Proph3t and Nallok would receive 2% of the token supply for every \$1 billion increase in META's market capitalization, up to a maximum of 10% at a \$5 billion market cap. Additionally, we propose a salary of \$90,000 per year for each.
## Details
- **Fixed Token Allocation**: 10% of supply equals **1,975 META per person**. This number remains fixed regardless of further META dilution.
- **Linear Unlocks**: For example, a \$100M market cap would release 0.2% of the supply, or 39.5 META (~\$200k at a \$100M market cap), to each person.
- **Unlock Criteria**: Decided at a later date, potentially using a simple moving average (SMA) over a month or an option-based system.
- **Start Date**: April 2024 for the purposes of vesting & retroactive salary.
- **Vesting Period**: No tokens unlock before April 2028, no matter what milestones are hit. This signals long-term commitment to building the business.
- **Illiquid Vest**: The DAO can claw back all tokens until December 2024 (8 months from start). Thereafter, tokens vest into a smart contract / multisig that can't be accessed by Proph3t or Nallok.
- **Market Cap Definition**: \$1B market cap is defined as a price of \$42,198 per META. This allows for 20% dilution post-proposal. Payouts are based on the value per META, not total market capitalization.
## Q&A
### Why do we need founder incentives at all? I thought MetaDAO was supposed to be decentralized?![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1wgI0ZV0.png)
Whether we like it or not, MetaDAO is not fully decentralized today. If Nallok and I walk away, its probability of success drops by at least 50%. This proposal creates financial incentives to help us build MetaDAO into a truly decentralized entity.This proposal does not grant us decision-making authority. Ultimate power remains with the market. We can be replaced at any time and must follow the market's direction to keep our roles.
### What exactly would this proposal execute on the blockchain?
Nothing directly. It involves a call to the [Solana memo program](https://spl.solana.com/memo).
The purpose is to gauge market receptiveness to this structure. A future proposal would handle the transfer of the required META, possibly from a [BDF3M](https://hackmd.io/@metaproph3t/SJfHhnkJC) multisig.
### What would be our roles?
**Nallok**
- Firefighter
- Problem-Solver
- Operations Manager
**Proph3t**
- Architect
- Mechanism Designer
- Smart Contract Engineer
### What would be our focus areas?
Frankly, we don't know. When we started work on MetaDAO, [Vota](https://vota.fi/) looked like the most viable business for bootstrapping MetaDAO's legitimacy.
Now it looks like [offering futarchy to other DAOs](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/browse).
MetaDAO LLC, the Marshall Islands DAO LLC controlled by MetaDAO, states our business purpose as "Solana-based products and services."
We expect this to hold true for several years.
## Appendix
- How we picked 2% per \$1B To be successful, an incentive system needs to do two things: retain contributors and get them to exert maximum effort.So to be effective, the system must offer more utility than alternative opportunities and make exerting effort more beneficial than not.
### Methodology
We estimated our reservation wages (potential earnings elsewhere) and verified that the utility of those wages is less than our expected payout from MetaDAO. [This video](https://youtu.be/mM3SKjVpE7U?si=0fMazWyc0Tcab0TZ) explains the process.
### Utility Calculation
We used the square root of the payout in millions to define our utility function. For example:
- \$100,000 payout gives a utility of 0.3162 (sqrt of 0.1).
- \$1,000,000 payout gives a utility of 1 (sqrt of 1).
- \$10,000,000 payout gives a utility of 3.162 (sqrt of 10).
### Assumptions
- **Earnings Elsewhere**: Estimated at \$250,000 per year.
- **Timeline**: 6 years to achieve MetaDAO success.
- **Failure Payout Utility**: 0.5 (including \$90k/year salary and lessons learned).
- **Very low probability of success w/o maximum effort**: we both believe that MetaDAO will simply not come to be unless both of us pour our soul into it. This gives \$1.5M in foregone income, with a utility of 1.2 (sqrt of 1.5).
### Expected Payout Calculation
To estimate the utility of exerting maximum effort, we used the expected utility of success and failure, multiplied by their respective probabilities. Perceived probabilities are key, as they influence the incentivized person's decision-making.
#### Nallok's Estimate
- **His Estimated Probability of Success**: 20%.
- **Effort Cost Utility**: 3 (equivalent to \$10M).
Calculation:
- $ 1.2 < 0.2 * (\sqrt{y} - 3) + 0.8 * (0.5 - 3) $
- $ 1.2 < 0.2 * (\sqrt{y} - 3) - 2 $
- $ 3.2 < 0.2 * (\sqrt{y} - 3) $
- $ 16 < \sqrt{y} - 3 $
- $ 19 < \sqrt{y} $
- $ 361 < y $
So Nallok needs a success payout of at least \$361M for it to be rational for him to stay and exert maximum effort.
#### Proph3ts's Estimate
- **His Estimated Probability of Success**: 10%.
- **Effort Cost Utility**: 1.7 (equivalent to \$3M).
Calculation:
- $ 1.2 < 0.1 * (\sqrt{y} - 1.7) + 0.8 * (0.5 - 1.7) $
- $ 1.2 < 0.1 * (\sqrt{y} - 1.7) + 0.8 * -1.2 $
- $ 1.2 < 0.1 * (\sqrt{y} - 1.7) - 1 $
- $ 2.2 < 0.1 * (\sqrt{y} - 1.7) $
- $ 22 < \sqrt{y} - 1.7 $
- $ 23.7 < \sqrt{y} $
- $ 562 < y $
So Proph3t needs a success payout of at least \$562M for it to be rational for him to stay and exert maximum effort.
### 10%
We believe MetaDAO can reach at least a \$5B market cap if executed correctly. Therefore, we decided on a 10% token allocation each, which would provide a ~\$500M payout in case of success. Future issuances may dilute this, but we expect the diluted payout to be within the same order of magnitude.

## Content
## Overview
This proposal requests **50,000 DRIFT** to carry out an early Drift Futarchy incentive program (max of 10 proposals / 3 months).
This proposal is meant to signal rewards for strong forecasters in futarchic markets by:
- Rewarding early and active participants of MetaDAO with tokens to participate in Drift Futarchy (via the ["endowment effect"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_effect))
- Incentivizing future well-formulated proposals and activity for Drift Futarchy
This proposal's outline is fulfilled over months by the executor group, acting as a 2/3 multisig, defined below.
## Implementation
### Retroactive Reward:
Using the following dune dashboard data as reference: https://dune.com/metadaohogs/themetadao (with May 19th, 2024 UTC as a cutoff date)
- [METADAO activity](https://gist.github.com/0xbigz/3ddbe2a21e721326d151ac957f96da20)
- [META token holdings](https://gist.github.com/0xbigz/f461ed8accc6f86181d3e9a2c164f810)
Among those who interacted with metadao's conditional vaults on at least 5 occassions over more period of 30 days, will recieve a retroactive reward as follows:
- < 1 META, 100 DRIFT
- \>= 1 META, 200 DRIFT
- \>= 10 META, 400 DRIFT
This [code](https://gist.github.com/0xbigz/a67d75f138c1c656353ab034936108fe) produces the following list of 32 MetaDAO participants who are qualified:
https://gist.github.com/0xbigz/056d3f7780532ffa5662410bc49f7215
**(9,600 DRIFT)**
Additionally, all MetaDAO AMM swapers interacters https://dune.com/queries/3782545 who aren't included above should split remaining.
crude snapshot: https://gist.github.com/0xbigz/adb2020af9ef0420b9026514bcb82eab
**(2,400 DRIFT)**
---
### Future Incentive:
*The following applies to the lengthlier of next 10 proposals or 3 month time frame*
Additionally, excluding this instance, passing proposal that are honored by security council can earn up to 5000 DRIFT for the proposer(s), each claimable after 3 months after.
(*if successful proposals exceed two, executor group can decide top N proposals to split*)
**(10,000 DRIFT)**
For accounts sufficiently active during the period, a pool of 20,000 DRIFT will be split and claimable after 3 months. To filter for non organic activity, the exact criteria for this shall be finalized by the execution group.
**(25,000 DRIFT)**
---
### Execution Group:
A 2/3 multisig to escrow and distribute funds based on outline. After successful completion of this proposal, they can distribute their allocation as they see fit.
In the event of uncertainty or excess budget, funds shall be returned to originating wallet or Drift Futarchy DAO treasury.
**(3,000 DRIFT)**

## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
Approve the development of FutureDAO's Token Migrator, enabling seamless token transitions for communities abandoned by developers while generating revenue through fees based on market cap.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This project provides a structured solution for communities to regain control and value in their token projects, enhancing community engagement.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
If successful, the Token Migrator could generate significant revenue for FutureDAO and its NFT holders, with projected earnings of $270,000 from eight migrations in the first year.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The project may face challenges related to user adoption and market volatility, which could impact the success rate of token migrations and revenue generation.
## Content
# TL;DR
Approve the development and launch of FutureDAO's Token Migrator, facilitating the seamless transition of one token into another. We empower communities to innovate, fundraise and reclaim control.
## Overview
FutureDAO is pioneering the first decentralized on-chain token migration tool. This tool is designed to facilitate seamless transitions from one token to another, catering to communities that have been abandoned by their developers, facing challenges such as poor project management, or with the desire to launch a new token. Born from our own experience with a takeover of $MERTD after the project team “rugged”, this tool will empower communities to band together and take control over their future.
- **Target Customer:** Communities of web3 projects abandoned by developers, poorly managed, or seeking to launch new tokens.
- **Problem Solved:** Provides a structured, on-chain protocol to facilitate community token migrations.
- **Monetization:** Fees are charged based on the market cap of the projects migrating.
- **Key Metrics:** Number of successful migrations, volume of tokens transitioned, community engagement levels, and $FUTURE token metrics (e.g., staking rates, price).
This project directly relates to FutureDAOs business by:
- **Value Creation:** Enhancing the value of the FutureDAO ecosystem and the NFT DAO by increasing its utility and market demand.
- **Total Budget:** $12,000 USDC
## Problem
The need for a structured, secure, and transparent approach to token migrations is evident in the challenges faced by many web3 projects today, including:
- **Rugged Projects:** Preserve community and restore value in projects affected by rug pulls.
- **Dead Projects:** Revitalizing projects that have ceased operations, giving them a second life.
- **Metadata Changes:** Enhancing transparency, trust, and providence by optimizing metadata for better engagement and discoverability.
- **Fundraising:** Securing financial support to sustain and expand promising projects
- **Token Extentions:** Allowing projects to re-launch in Solana's newest standard.
- **Hostile Takeovers:** Enabling projects to acquire other projects and empowering communities to assert control over failed project teams.
Our service addresses these issues, providing a lifeline to communities seeking to reclaim, transform, or enhance their projects.
## Design
Futures Token Migrator will be developed as a dApp on Solana for optimal performance, security, and scalability. It will form a core part of Futures Protocol.
- **Product Description:** The tool facilitates seamless transitions from one token to another, allowing communities to regain control and ensure proper governance. "Future Champions" will identify, engage, and assist potential clients, supporting them throughout the process. These champions are incentivized through commissions in newly minted tokens.
## Business
### Migration Process
1. **Intake:**
- Community onboarded.
2. **Launch Parameters Set:**
a. Migration date & duration chosen.
b. Pre-sale raise amount & price ($SOL) selected.
c. Treasury allocation selected.
> **Max dilution rates:**
> - <$1m FDMC: 15% (7.5% presale, 5.5% Treasury 2% DAO Fee)
> - <$5m FDMC: 12% (6% presale, 4.5% Treasury 1.5% DAO Fee)
> - <$20m FDMC: 10% (5% presale, 4% Treasury 1% DAO Fee)
> **Maximum inflation is based on current token market caps to keep fees and token dilution as fair as possible.*
3. **Token Migration Begins:**
a. Token added to Future Protocol Migrator Front-end
b. Pre-sale goes live.
c. \$oldTOKEN can now be swapped for \$newTOKEN
i. Tokens are locked until migration is completed successfully.
4. **Token Migration Ends:**
a. **Successful ( >60% Presale Raised ):**
- \$oldTOKEN sold reclaim locked L.P.
- \$newTOKEN plus \$SOL raised or reclaimed placed in L.P.
- \$newTOKENs claimable by swap & pre-sale participants.
- Unclaimed \$newTOKENs sent to community multi-sig.
- *Not FutureDao's multi-sig*
- \$oldTOKEN holders who do not migrate are airdropped 50%.
b. **Unsuccessful ( <60% Presale Raised ):**
1. Presale \$SOL is returned to all participants.
2. \$newTOKEN must be swapped back into the \$oldTOKEN frozen in the contract.
3. All \$newTOKEN is burnt.
## Monetization
- **Fee Structure:** FutureDAO does not benefit monetarily from these token migrations. All fees are directed to the Champions NFT holders. To be eligible for rewards, the NFTs must be staked (SPL-404) within the Future Protocol NFT Portal.
- As mentioned in Launch Parameters, fees are charged based on the market cap of the projects migrating:
- For projects with FDMC <\$1M = 2%
- For projects with FDMC <\$5M = 1.5%
- For projects with FDMC <\$20M = 1%
> *EXAMPLE: The fees are taken as inflation on the \$newTOKEN mint and are delivered to the Champions NFT DAO over a 30 day period. For example, if \$MERTD had 1 billion tokens in circulation with an FDMC of \$2M, the new \$FUTURE supply would be 1.12 billion tokens, with allocations as follows:*
> - *1 billion tokens reserved for \$MERTD holders at 1:1*
> - *60 million tokens for the presale*
> - *45 million tokens for the treasury*
> - *15 million tokens delivered to the Champions NFT DAO*
## Financial Projections
Based on the projected revenue for FutureDAOs Token Migrator, we can provide a hypothetical example of its financial potential in the first year. According to market analysis, there have been at least 27 notable meme coin presales on Solana in the past 12 months, raising significant funds despite high abandonment (rugging) rates ([Coin Edition](https://coinedition.com/12-solana-presale-meme-coins-abandoned-in-a-month-crypto-sleuth/)) ([Coinpedia Fintech News](https://coinpedia.org/press-release/solana-meme-coin-presale-trend-continues-as-slothana-reaches-1m/)). This suggests a strong demand for structured and secure migration solutions.
For example, if Futures Takeover Tool is utilized for 8 project de-ruggings in its first year, it could generate $270,000 for Future community members that hold Future Champions NFTs.
This revenue would be derived from the 8 projects as follows:
- 3 projects under \$1M FDMC: Each charged a 2% fee, generating a total of $60,000 for Future community member NFT holders.
- 4 projects under \$5M FDMC: Each charged a 1.5% fee, generating a total of $120,000 for Future community member NFT holders.
- 1 project under \$20M FDMC: Charged a 1% fee, generating $50,000 for Future community member NFT holders.
**Budget:** \$12,000 USDC
- \$6,000 USDC tool development
- \$6,000 USDC smart contract and other security audits

The proposal anticipates a 5% increase in the DAO's fully diluted valuation, equating to an additional $5,783, with a projected benefit of $4.45 for every dollar spent.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
If the expected increase in FDV is not achieved, the investment in $DEAN tokens may not yield the anticipated returns, potentially impacting the DAO's financial health.
## Content
## Introduction
This proposal aims to allocate 1 million $DEAN tokens to the University of Waterloo Blockchain Club. The goal is to foster deeper collaboration, attract and incentivize top talent to contribute to our ecosystem and strengthen the overall partnership. This initiative is expected to bring significant benefits, including enhanced collaboration opportunities, access to a skilled talent pool, and increased participation in the DL DAO governance. The tokens will be held in a multi-signature wallet to ensure secure and responsible management.
## Goal
1. Foster Deeper Collaboration: Strengthening the relationship between The Dean's List DAO and the University of Waterloo Blockchain Club to leverage mutual strengths.
2. Attract & Incentivize Top Talent: Encouraging top-tier students to contribute to our ecosystem, bringing in fresh perspectives and innovative solutions.
## Benefits
1. Strengthened Partnership & Potential Collaboration Opportunities: By closely collaborating with a leading blockchain club, we can explore new avenues for joint projects, research, and development.
2. Access to a Skilled Talent Pool: The University of Waterloo Blockchain Club consists of 200 students, many of whom are skilled in blockchain technology and web3 development.
3. Encourage Participation in the DL DAO Governance: Increased engagement from club members will enhance the governance of our DAO, bringing diverse viewpoints and expertise.
## Token Allocation and Value
Token Allocation: 1 million `$DEAN` tokens
Equivalent Value: 1 million `$DEAN` is currently equivalent to 1300 `$USDC`.
Fully Diluted Valuation of The Dean's List DAO: `$115,655`
## Proposal Conditions
For this proposal to pass, the partnership should result in a 5% increase in the TWAP (Time Weighted Average Price) of The Dean's List DAO's FDV. The trading period for this proposal will be 5 days.
## Estimating FDV Increase per Student
### Current Situation
Current FDV: `$115,655`
Required Increase (5%): `$5,783 (5% of $115,655)`
### Potential Impact
With 200 student members actively contributing to the DAO, each student can significantly impact our FDV. The estimation model assumes that these students' increased participation, contribution, and promotion can drive up the FDV by more than the minimum required amount. Here is a simple estimation model:
Total Required Increase: `$5,783`
Number of Students: 200
Average Increase per Student: `$5,783 / 200 = $28.915`
This model suggests that each student needs to contribute to activities that increase the FDV by approximately $28.915. Given the diverse activities they can engage in (such as dApp reviews, testing, promoting on social media, and developing innovative solutions), this target is achievable and likely conservative.
### Benefit per Dollar Spent
Total Investment: 1 million `$DEAN` tokens, equivalent to 1300 `$USDC`
Required FDV Increase: $5,783
To calculate the benefit per dollar spent:
Benefit per Dollar: `$5,783 / $1300 ≈ $4.45`
This indicates that for every dollar spent, we can potentially achieve an increase of approximately $4.45 in the FDV of The Dean's List DAO.
## Justification for Spending 1 Million `$DEAN`
Spending 1 million `$DEAN` tokens is a strategic investment in the future growth and sustainability of The Dean's List DAO. The University of Waterloo Blockchain Club is a reputable organization with a track record of fostering skilled blockchain professionals. By rewarding their members, we are ensuring a steady influx of knowledgeable and motivated individuals into our ecosystem. This collaboration is expected to yield long-term benefits, far exceeding the initial expenditure in terms of increased engagement, enhanced governance, and accelerated development of our projects.
# Conclusion
This proposal to allocate 1 million `$DEAN` tokens to the University of Waterloo Blockchain Club is a strategic move to strengthen our ecosystem by leveraging top talent and fostering deeper collaboration. The estimated FDV increase model shows that the involvement of these students can lead to a substantial rise in our market cap, ensuring that the partnership is mutually beneficial. With an estimated benefit of approximately $4.45 for every dollar spent, this initiative promises significant returns. We urge all DAO members to trade in favor of this proposal to unlock these potential benefits and drive the future growth of The Dean's List DAO.

### Financial Projections
**Estimated Costs:**
- Airplane Fares and Accommodation for Top 5 Members: $10,000
- IRL Events and Parties for Top 50 Members: $5,000
- Total Estimated Cost: $15,000
**Token Allocation:** Allocate 5-7 million $DEAN tokens for the initiative, although actual usage is expected to be significantly lower.
**Main Scenario:** Given the low circulating supply of the $DEAN token and the mechanics of locking tokens for multiple years to increase governance power and climb the leaderboard ranks, we project a significant increase in the Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) of DL DAO.
**Current FDV:** $123,263
**Target FDV:** Over $2,000,000
**FDV Growth Analysis:**
1. **Circulating Supply Reduction:** As members lock their $DEAN tokens to increase governance power and climb the leaderboard ranks, the circulating supply of the token will decrease significantly. This reduction in supply will create upward pressure on the token price.
2. **Demand Increase:** The exclusive perks offered, such as airplane tickets, accommodation at the DL DAO Villa, and invitations to IRL events, will incentivize members to increase their governance power, further driving demand for $DEAN tokens.
3. **Price Appreciation:** The combination of reduced supply and increased demand is expected to cause a substantial appreciation in the price of the $DEAN token. For instance, if the initial token price is $0.01 and it appreciates 15 times, the price will reach $0.15.
4. **FDV Calculation:** With a significant increase in token price, the FDV will grow proportionally. Assuming the total token supply remains constant, an increase from $0.01 to $0.15 per token will drive the FDV from $123,263 to over $2,000,000.
### Futarchy Proposal
**Proposal Conditions**
For this proposal to pass, it must result in a 3% increase in the Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of The Dean's List DAO's Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV). The trading period for this proposal will be 3 days.
**Estimating FDV Increase per Participant**
- Current FDV: $123,263
- Required Increase (3%): $3,698
- Estimated Number of Participants: 50 (top governance power members)
- Average Increase per Participant: $3,698 / 50 = $73.95
Given the potential activities and promotions participants can engage in, this target is achievable. The required 3% increase in FDV is small compared to the projected FDV increase from the promotional event, which aims for an FDV of over $2,000,000.
**Impact on Token Value**
Given the limited liquidity and the prompt for members to lock tokens, the token's value is expected to appreciate significantly. The reduced circulating supply, coupled with increased demand, is projected to cause a more than 15-fold increase in token price over the campaign period. This significant appreciation will attract further interest and investment, creating a positive feedback loop that enhances the overall value of the DL DAO ecosystem.
#### Budget and Expenses
- The estimated cost of $15,000 for the campaign will be covered by liquidating a fraction of $DEAN tokens as their price appreciates.
- As the token value increases, the DL DAO treasury will be able to finance its initiatives without compromising its financial stability.
#### Conclusion
This proposal to create a promotional event at ThailandDAO, incentivizing governance participation, is a strategic move to boost the Dean's List DAO ecosystem. By leveraging the popularity of ThailandDAO and offering significant perks to top governance power holders, we anticipate substantial engagement and value increase, benefiting the entire ecosystem and ensuring sustainable growth for the DL DAO community.

## Proposal Details
- Project: MetaDAO
- Proposal: Approve MetaDAO Fundraise #2?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-06-26
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/9BMRY1HBe61MJoKEd9AAW5iNQyws2vGK6vuL49oR3AzX
- Description: Our goal is to hire a small team. Between us ($90k/yr each), three engineers ($190k/yr each), audits ($300k), office space ($80k/yr), a growth person ($150k/yr), and other administrative expenses ($100k/yr), were looking at a $1.38M burn rate.
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
MetaDAO aims to raise $1.5M through the sale of up to 4,000 META tokens to fund growth initiatives, including hiring a team and developing decision markets for Solana DAOs.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
The proposal affects stakeholders by providing funding for growth initiatives that could enhance the ecosystem for Solana DAOs.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Successful fundraising could accelerate MetaDAO's growth and expand its offerings, increasing its value in the market.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk of mismanagement or failure to execute the fundraising effectively, which could jeopardize the DAO's financial stability.
## Content
### Overview
Three weeks ago, MetaDAO launched the futarchy protocol with Drift, Deans List, and Future. Our goal is to onboard more Solana DAOs. To do that, Nallok and I have a few ideas for growth initiatives, including:
- Social: seeing whos trading in the markets
- NFTs: allowing NFT communities to leverage decision markets
- Special contracts: creating custom financial contracts that make it easier to make grants decisions through decision markets
To accelerate this, our goal is to hire a small team. Between us (\$90k/yr each), three engineers (\$190k/yr each), audits (\$300k), office space (\$80k/yr), a growth person (\$150k/yr), and other administrative expenses (\$100k/yr), were looking at a \$1.38M burn rate.
To fund this, Im proposing that the DAO raise \$1.5M by selling META to a combination of venture capitalists and angels. Specifically, we would sell up to 4,000 META with no discount and no lockup.
Nallok and I would execute this sale on behalf of the DAO. To minimize the risk of a DAO attack, the money raised would be custodied by us in a multisig and released to the DAO treasury at a rate of $100k / month.
The exact terms of the sale would be left to our discretion. This includes details such as who is given allocation, whether to raise more than \$1.5M, how escrow is managed, et cetera. However, we would be bound to a minimum price: \$375. Given that thered be 20,823.5 META in the hands of the public (which includes VCs + angels) after this raise, this means we would be unable to sell tokens at less than a \$7.81M valuation.Everyone who participates in the raise will get similar terms. We will make public whos participated after its complete.

- institutional investors such as Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and Vaneck
- liquid token funds such as Modular Capital, Pantera Capital, and CoinFund
- retail investors with over 20k+ twitter followers and 20k+ subscribers to our weekly newsletter
- developers from Wave Wallet, Quicknode, and Bridge.xyz
Our team consist of top engineers from companies such as Venmo, Messari, Coinbase, Facebook and top HFs / Investment Firms such as Holocene, Carlyle Group, Blackrock, and Whale Rock. We are a blend of top engineering and traditional finance talent allowing us to build + surface metrics that actually matter to markets.
### Company Values:
Our mission is to **surface key metrics** to anyone that cares about crypto in whatever way is most intuitive to them. Whether its a dashboard, an excel plugin, or an api, we empower retail traders, large liquid token funds, and developers in this space to make informed bets on the market with their capital and time.
- **Transparency**: We take transparency very seriously, which is why we took great effort to become open source earlier this year. If there are any metrics the broader crypto community is concerned about, anyone can make a github issue and we will resolve in a timely manner.
- **Build with the community:** We are **open source** and will work directly with Drift Labs and the community to surface metrics that matter to Drift users, developers, investors, and token holders. We have worked with the Drift Lab team to come up with an initial set of metrics that will be valuable to the both the Artemis and Drift community.
## Why 3rd Party Verified Data is important
Open and trusted fundamental metrics are an important tool for everyone in crypto. Developers use it to determine what ecosystem to build on and capital allocators use it to make informed bets on projects. But as the crypto space grows and matures, more people are asking fundamental questions that require deeper metrics to answer. The crypto space is becoming more sophisticated and there isnt a single go to source for all Drift metrics that matter.
Artemis proposal aims to solve 3 key issues in the space right now:
- No clear benchmarking of Drifts Protocol Health
- No place to get all the metrics of Drift in one place and compare with other perpetual trading protocols
- No way to start tracking historical changes of Drift Liquidity over time
- No place to get deeper metrics on drift users such as average deposit size, exchange volume / user, etc.
Artemis will provide to the community:
- Reliable benchmarking of the Drift Protocols with other protocols
- Deeper metrics on Drift not just high level numbers like TVL and Exchange Volume
- Neutral 3rd party verified metrics
- Wider audience of institutional investors and builders looking at key Drift Metrics
## Proposal
Working with Drift Labs these are the core dashboard Artemis Labs will build out and maintain for the community over the 12 month period.
Deeper Perp Protocol Metrics:
- Open Interest
- Fees
- Revenue
- Average Fees / Trade
- Funding Rate (Annualized)
Unique Trader Metrics:
- Exchange Volume / Trader
- Unique Number of Traders
Liquidity Metrics:
- Liquidity metrics by perp market
- +2% / -2% liquidity
- Price Fill (effective price of a 100k Order)
Deposit Metrics:
- Average Deposit Size
- Deposit Trends
- Lending Rates

## Community Engagement
### Independent Research
As part of our commitment to being community focused, we will dive deep into the Drift Perps Protocol to highlight key metrics and the project. This will be done in the form of an independent research piece. We will then share this piece with the Artemis community the make up of which was described earlier in the proposal. This research piece will be made publicly available for anyone to read.
### Open Source Dashboards
All of the dashboards and metrics we build for Drift will be open sourced and free for the community to screenshot and used for whatever they need.
### Updates
We will also commit to a bi-monthly update post focusing on both works complete and ongoing as determined by the community.
## Longer Term Relationship
As has been stated above, we are a software company. Were building a platform that empowers anyone in crypto to make informed discussions with their time and capital. While this engagement is focus on building for the Drift Community and surfacing key metrics for the broader crypto community as it relates to Drift, we hope to continue to onboard more stakeholders in the crypto community to our platform. Our hope is that anyone who wants to do anything in crypto will at some point touch the Artemis platform and suite of products.
## Success Criteria
The successful completion of the Drift protocols objectives will be measured against KPIs that will be derived from the specific objectives agreed upon between Drift and Artemis Labs. On top of those, We will also look to measure things such as:
- Usage:
- Number of Tweet
- Page Views
- Metrics Calls on our plugin
- Product Deliverables (Drift Metrics on Artemis)
## Pricing and timing
- 12 month engagement w/ option to cancel engagement after an initial 6 month period
- the Drift DAO will have the opportunity to terminate the relationship if it finds Artemis Labs deliverables unsatisfactory (outlined above).
- \$50k USD value in Drift Tokens paid out linearly over 12 months.
- Drift token price would be a trailing 7-d average based on coingecko prices
- So at time of proposal that would be roughly **115,000 tokens**distributed out from a multisig where Drift Labs + Artemis Labs will be the signer over a 12 month period.
- Start of engagement will begin once proposal is passed
## Special Thanks
- Big Z for reviewing and giving feedback!
## On why Artemis think this is valuable
- Artemis serves as a direct link to major capital allocators like Grayscale and Fidelity.
- Ex: A liquid token fund manager managing (8-9 million dollar) asked Artemis about Drift specific metrics. They cant find any deep metrics about Drift on Artemis and do not feel comfortable with other sources or frankly does not know where to look. Other platforms like the ones mentioned above are too complicated for them to navigate and do not allow them to digest data in their favorite platform where they do all their work: excel / google sheets.
- Traders from platforms like dYdX, Hyperliquid, etc rely on Artemis for critical trading data and insights to determine where they should trade.
- Ex: a dYdX engineer came into the Artemis discord looking to confirm dYdX unique traders because traders were pinging them. These traders were using Artemis to determine what platform to allocate capital.
## In terms of the coverage of metrics we expect to surface in addition to liquidity metrics
- Granular insights on user behavior across Drifts products (e.g., insurance fund, lending, perp trading).
1. top users across drifts many products such as the insurance fund, lending, perp trading every week historically
1. Answering questions like why Drift usage is going up or who makes up the user base of Drift
2. Break out exchange volume, deposits, and fees paid by users.
1. Answering questions such as how much volume is done by 10, 100, 1000 traders etc.
3. Liquidity and averages fees historically
1. Answering questions such as how much does it cost to use Drift as a trader
4. Revenue across all of Drift product lines
1. Answering questions like how much money does Drift make and which revenue driver is growing the fastest
2. Providing sensible multiples for capital allocators (P/S, P/E)
- Higher fidelity refresh rates for order book data / on chain data
1. Currently, Drift refreshes its public S3 datalake every 24hours, we can do it every 6 hours (so 4 times a day)
2. This would be shared to the Drift Labs team and public for free consumptions
## Compensation and Implementation Questions
- We would need to manually integrate new data pipelines, process the data into metrics and then build + design intuitive dashboards on our terminal which requires weeks of data science, engineering, product, and design hours.
- These dashboard have always been and continue to be free to use. The rest of our product is also free to use with very generous restrictions and the vast majority of our users are NOT paying customers.
- **Propose compensation Changes:** 115k DRIFT or \$50k USD (whichever is lower) over 12 months.
- We believe this is a fair value for the work we plan to do for Drift and the value add we bring to the community.
We ultimately think that we are providing a unique service and we want to build a long term relationship with the Drift Community. If the DAO feels like we did not bring in enough value it has the power to cancel the contract after 6 months.

- Description: This proposal requests 100,000 DRIFT to carry out the initial iteration of the Drift Grants Program.
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to initiate the Drift Grants Program with 100,000 DRIFT to support community initiatives and ecosystem development, while evaluating the demand for small grants and assessing the current grant sourcing structure.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
The proposal empowers community members to lead initiatives, thereby increasing engagement and collaboration within the Drift ecosystem.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Successful implementation could establish a robust grants program that fosters a thriving ecosystem, enhancing Drift's competitive advantage in the DeFi space.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The program's reliance on initial funding and team effectiveness poses risks if the expected demand for grants is not met or if operational challenges arise during the trial period.
## Content
## Summary
This proposal requests 100,000 DRIFT to carry out the initial iteration of the Drift Grants Program.
The funds will be managed by ⅔ multi sig governed by the Decision Council.
The proposal is designed to kickstart the foundation grants program with the goal of helping efficiently allocate capital and figure out the best process and structure for a more robust grants program going forward.
## Overview
A robust ecosystem can serve as a key competitive advantage in the DeFi space. Given the relatively undifferentiated products and open-source culture, a strong community and ecosystem are both crucial for a protocols sustained success. The launch of DRIFT token will enable the foundation to accelerate ecosystem growth and fortify the Drift community through grants. The purpose of this proposal is to initialise the process of creating a grants system that effectively aligns and supports Drifts community and ecosystem.
## Objectives
### Supporting Community Initiatives
- Short-term: Short term the objective is to increase community engagement and help grow the size of the community by providing easy and open access to community members to lead community initiatives.
- Vision: Long term it is about aligning incentives in a way fosters a robust and active community.
### Developing Ecosystem
- Short-term: Over the next two months we want to start to push integration and figure out a process to source and support teams building on top of drift. We want this proposal to serve to help support people looking to build on Drift.
- Vision: The long-term vision is to have Drift become a foundational layer that supports a flourishing ecosystem of projects.
### Answer key questions about the Grants program
- Do people want small grants?
- Figuring out if there is demand for smaller grant sizes that may not make sense for Futarchic markets and figure out if the proposed proposal structure makes sense to handle them.
- Do we need to source?
- The current structure is passive/supporting, is there enough quality inbound where this model works, or do we need to scale up the grant program to support sourcing.
### What does success look like?
- Supporting Community initiatives: Figure out a system to evaluate and support initiatives.
- Developing Ecosystem: Figure out the best way to support projects going through the futarchic system.
- Testing Grants program: Answer the two objective questions.
- Overall: Have a clearer vision for direction of the Foundation Grants Program and have confidence drafting and supporting a more substantial future proposal.
### Review
At the end of the 2 month period the analyst will put together a comprehensive report reviewing all activities done by the team, all grants funded/proposed and come up with a recommendation for the program moving forward. The report will include an evaluation of how the grants program completed all objectives, where it fell short and how it should be changed. Ultimate goal is to be able to use learnings from the initial program to draft a more substantial follow up proposal.
## Details
**Timeframe:** 2months, starting on July 1st ending on August 31st.
Looking at other protocols grants programs, we believe it is important to commit heavily in effort and capital. The goal of the initial program is to quickly get started and experiment in design, operations, and best practices so that we can figure out what works best in order to iterate and commit with conviction for v2.
**Initiation:** This proposal will be decided on through the Futarchic markets. [JH comment: Why do this through Futarchy? Why not execute without then use futarch markets to decide extension?]
**Team:** 4 People
Ultimately, to have a successful grant program you need a strong and representative team to drive it. Part of the goal for the initial proposal is to figure out the workload/workflow for team members.
- Decision Council: The decision council consists of 3 people and votes on the approval of small proposals. Expectations for the council include voting on each proposal, describing their reasoning behind their vote and working with the analyst to help create a brief summary report analysing each proposal. Expected commitment 0-6hrs per week. The members of the decision council will not be able to vote on proposals in which they are direct beneficiaries from in order to prevent conflicts of interest.
- Members: Personal info is hidden for privacy, all members are active community members that the team has vetted.
- Spidey
- Maskara
- James
- Analyst: The analyst will be a team member responsible for managing inbound, helping teams draft proposals, supporting throughout the proposal process. The analyst will also be responsible for creating a summary report for each proposal and a final report reviewing success of the initial grants program along with recommendations for the next iteration. To start, Squid from the Drift ecosystem team will do the analyst role to help better explore what are the requirements for the role and the next steps program overall.
- There will be 1 analyst initially. Depending on how the initial proposal goes there may need to be more analysts for future iterations of the grant program depending on the amount of work and the importance of sourcing.
The initial member selection for this proposal was done by looking for contributors and core community members who are motivated and have the skills to excel in their respective positions. Part of the reason for doing a shorter trial grant period was to test run the team and help us figure out what to select for going forward.
### Compensation
The majority of the work will fall onto the analyst and since Squid already works with Drift no compensation is necessary. Given the initial iteration of the grants program is designed to test requirements demand and workflows, the initial workload for the Decision Council is uncertain. For the initial grants program there will be no compensation for the Decision Council.
- Note: We expect the initial grants program to give clarity on workload and flush out expectations for roles. If the grants program is continued or scaled up it is expected that both Analyst and Decision Council roles will be compensated.
**Amount:** 100,000 DRIFT
We believe 100,000 DRIFT (~\$40,000) will be enough to support the upside scenario of grant interest in the next two months. Any Drift not distributed will be returned to the DAO.
### Use of funds
- Up to 100,000 Drift will be used to fund proposals supporting the community and ecosystem.
### Process
The initial creation of the grants program will be decided upon in the futarchal markets. If passed, the process of approving grants will depend on the size of the grant.
- Community Initiative (Defined as <10,000 DRIFT)
- The approval will be fully decided by the Decision Council to retain operational efficiency.
- Project (Defined as >10,000 DRIFT)
- The approval will be decided by pushing the grant as a proposal in the futarchic markets.
- The Decision Council will vote to support these proposals. If supported the Analyst will work to help draft, market and support the proposal through the futarchic markets.
In both scenarios the team would be responsible for fulfilling the grant commitment and would be expected to support the grantee post approval.

- Description: The proposed model for The Dean's List DAO involves continuing to charge clients in USDC and using the collected USDC to purchase $DEAN tokens.
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to enhance The Dean's List DAO's economic model by continuously charging clients in USDC, using the proceeds to purchase \$DEAN tokens, and distributing these tokens as payment to DAO citizens while maintaining the DAO tax in USDC to mitigate price fluctuations.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
DAO citizens will receive \$DEAN tokens instead of USDC, potentially increasing their earnings if demand for the token rises.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The strategic purchasing of \$DEAN tokens is expected to create consistent buy pressure, potentially increasing the token's price and enhancing the DAO's overall market position.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The selling pressure from DAO citizens cashing out a significant portion of their \$DEAN tokens may counteract the buy pressure, leading to price volatility.
## Content
The proposed model for The Dean's List DAO involves continuing to charge clients in USDC and using the collected USDC to purchase \$DEAN tokens. These tokens will be distributed to DAO citizens as payment for their work, replacing USDC payments. The DAO tax will remain in USDC to hedge against \$DEAN price fluctuations. This approach creates constant buying pressure on the \$DEAN token, leading to an increase in price.
The strategic use of USDC for purchasing \$DEAN is expected to enhance the DAO's economic stability and growth.
*Example: DAO Tax @ 20%, Cost of dApp review 2500 \$USDC
This way we create volume (3600 \$USDC volume) and the price action is always positive. (in our case buys exceeded sells by 20%) and we do not deplete our \$DEAN reserves*
- _500 \$USDC goes to the treasury_
- _2000 \$USDC are used for purchasing \$DEAN tokens. The DAO buys 560k \$DEAN (price goes up by X due to the buy)_
- _DAO Citizens are paid the 560k \$DEAN and (assumption) 80% of the paid people decide to sell their \$DEAN to pay their bills._
- _DAO Citizens sell 560k_80% = 448k \$DEAN hits the market to be sold (price goes down by 0.8X)*
- _The price will always achieve a higher low on each cycle._
## Here are more details you don't need but you can explore if you like:
### `Detailed Analysis and FDV Increase Scenario:`
**`Current Metrics:`**
- `FDV of The Dean's List DAO: $337,074`
- `Daily Trading Volume: $500`
- `Circulating Supply: 100,000,000 $DEAN`
- `Current $DEAN Price: $0.00337`
**`Example Scenario:** Assume the DAO reviews 6 dApps in a month, charging 2500 USDC per review.`
- **`Total Monthly Revenue:** 15,000 USDC`
- **`Daily Revenue Equivalent:** 500 USDC/day`
- **`Tax Distribution:`**
- `20% (3,000 USDC) goes to the treasury.`
- `80% (12,000 USDC) used to purchase $DEAN tokens.`
- `Daily purchase of $DEAN: 400 USDC/day`
**`Purchase and Distribution:`**
- `With 400 USDC daily, the DAO buys approximately 118,694 $DEAN daily.`
- `These tokens are then distributed to DAO citizens as payment.`
- `Assuming 80% of $DEAN tokens (94,955) are sold by citizens daily.`
### `Price Impact Analysis`
**`Upward Price Pressure:** Introducing 400 USDC daily into the market represents an 80% increase relative to the current daily trading volume of 500 USDC. This significant increase can substantially impact the price. Given an 80% increase in daily buy volume, we estimate a 24% price increase for modeling purposes.`
**`Downward Price Pressure:** Assuming 80% of the purchased $DEAN tokens are sold by DAO citizens, this sell-off will create downward pressure on the price, estimated at a 15% decrease.`
**`New Price Calculation:`**
- `Initial Price: $0.00337`
- `Estimated Price Increase: 24%`
- `New Price: $0.0041768`
- `Final Price after Sell Pressure: $0.00355028`
**`Calculating the FDV:`**
- `Initial FDV: $337,074`
- `New FDV: $355,028`
**`FDV Increase:`**
- `From $337,074 to $355,028`
- `Percentage Increase: 5.33%`
**`Comparison with TWAP 3% Increase Requirement:`**
- `Required FDV Increase for 3%: 337,074×1.03=347,186`
- `Achieved FDV: $355,028`
- `Achieved Percentage Increase: 5.33%`
`This scenario indicates that the achieved FDV increase of 5.33% significantly exceeds the TWAP 3% increase requirement, demonstrating the potential impact of the proposed model.`
### `Conclusion:`
`This proposal aims to leverage the strategic use of USDC to purchase $DEAN, creating consistent buy pressure that outweighs the selling pressure from citizens, thereby significantly boosting the FDV TWAP. Members are encouraged to support this proposal to enhance the DAO's economic framework and overall market position.`

The initiative may undermine the perceived seriousness of futarchy and distract from MetaDAO's core focus, potentially complicating future recruitment and partnerships.
## Content
MetaDAO now has a platform for creating and participating in futarchies. The central problem is distributing it: getting people and organizations to use futarchy.
One of the ideal use-cases for futarchy is memecoin governance. This is because memecoin holders only want the price of the token to increase. Theres no question of “maybe the market knows whats the best short-term action, but not the best long-term action.”
Coincidentally, there appears to be an opening in the market to launch “pump.fun with a token.” Such a platform may be able to bootstrap adoption by issuing points that convert into a token that receives the revenue generated by the platform.
For these reasons, I had the idea to create “futardio,” a memecoin launchpad with said bootstrapping mechanism where a portion of every launched memecoin gets allocated to a futarchy DAO.
We are not sure whether it makes sense for MetaDAO to release such a platform. There are potential advantages and potential pitfalls. So we are putting this decision up to the market. **If this proposal passes, MetaDAO will develop and release futardio. If it fails, it will not.**
## Details
The key ideas are expressed in [https://futard.io](https://futard.io).
The details of Futardio would be:
- A memecoin launchpad where some percentage of every new tokens supply gets allocated to its futarchy DAO
- When users increase key metrics (e.g., volume), they earn points
- After a period of time not exceeding 180 days, these points would convert into a new token ($FUTA)
- FUTA would be distributed to solely two parties: points owners and MetaDAO
- All revenue from Futardio would be distributed to a vault that can be claimed by FUTA holders
- By the time the token is live, Futardio would be immutable and decentralized. The program would be immutable, open-source, and verifiable, with any parameters being governed by MetaDAO. The website would be deployed immutably on IPFS or Arweave. Futardio would be a gambling [hyperstructure](https://jacob.energy/hyperstructures.html).
- The goal would be to launch it in Q3.
- Nallok and Proph3t wouldnt be the core team, but they would support a team and fund them with a \$100k grant paid over 6 months. If a team hasnt started work by the end of Q3, the money would be returned and the project idea cancelled.
This would all be left to the discretion of the team building it, but they would be expected to follow the broad outline.
## Potential advantages
- Drive attention and usage to futarchy
- More exposure
- More usage helps MetaDAO improve the product
- Provides more proof points of futarchy
- If MetaDAO sells some of its tokens or stakes them to the vault, it could receive cash to fund future activities
- Create a forcing function to improve the security of the core futarchy platform
## Potential pitfalls
- Makes futarchy look less serious
- May make it harder to sell DeFi DAOs / non-crypto organizations
- May make it harder to recruit contributors
- Time & energy investment
- Would prevent MetaDAO from solely focusing on the core platform

### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders, including memecoin holders and MetaDAO, may benefit from increased engagement and potential revenue through the futardio platform.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The initiative could drive attention and usage of futarchy, enhancing MetaDAO's visibility and credibility in the crypto ecosystem.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk that the association with memecoins could undermine the perceived seriousness of futarchy, potentially complicating future partnerships and recruitment.

## Proposal Details
- Project: Unknown
- Proposal: Test Proposal based on MetaDAO Content
- Status: Failed
- Created: 2024-08-28
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/EmPUGgv2Utzuu2vgSu6GcTRAtJMox5vJeZKi95cBgfJo
- Description: MetaDAO now has a platform for creating and participating in futarchies. The central problem is distributing it: getting people and organizations to use futarchy.
&#x20;&#x20;
One of the ideal use-cases for futarchy is memecoin governance. This is because memecoin holders only want the price of the token to increase. Theres no question of “maybe the market knows whats the best short-term action, but not the best long-term action.”
&#x20;&#x20;
Coincidentally, there appears to be an opening in the market to launch “pump.fun with a token.” Such a platform may be able to bootstrap adoption by issuing points that convert into a token that receives the revenue generated by the platform.
&#x20;&#x20;
For these reasons, I had the idea to create “futardio,” a memecoin launchpad with said bootstrapping mechanism where a portion of every launched memecoin gets allocated to a futarchy DAO.
&#x20;&#x20;
We are not sure whether it makes sense for MetaDAO to release such a platform. There are potential advantages and potential pitfalls. So we are putting this decision up to the market. \*\*If this proposal passes, MetaDAO will develop and release futardio. If it fails, it will not.\*\*
\## Details
The key ideas are expressed in [https://futard.io](https://futard.io).
&#x20;&#x20;
The details of Futardio would be:
\- A memecoin launchpad where some percentage of every new tokens supply gets allocated to its futarchy DAO
&#x20; &#x20;
\- When users increase key metrics (e.g., volume), they earn points
&#x20; &#x20;
\- After a period of time not exceeding 180 days, these points would convert into a new token ($FUTA)
&#x20; &#x20;
\- FUTA would be distributed to solely two parties: points owners and MetaDAO
&#x20; &#x20;
\- All revenue from Futardio would be distributed to a vault that can be claimed by FUTA holders
&#x20; &#x20;
\- By the time the token is live, Futardio would be immutable and decentralized. The program would be immutable, open-source, and verifiable, with any parameters being governed by MetaDAO. The website would be deployed immutably on IPFS or Arweave. Futardio would be a gambling \[hyperstructure]\(https://jacob.energy/hyperstructures.html).
&#x20; &#x20;
\- The goal would be to launch it in Q3.&#x20;
&#x20; &#x20;
\- Nallok and Proph3t wouldnt be the core team, but they would support a team and fund them with a \\$100k grant paid over 6 months. If a team hasnt started work by the end of Q3, the money would be returned and the project idea cancelled.
&#x20; &#x20;
&#x20;&#x20;
This would all be left to the discretion of the team building it, but they would be expected to follow the broad outline.
\## Potential advantages
\- Drive attention and usage to futarchy
&#x20; &#x20;
\- More exposure
&#x20; &#x20;
\- More usage helps MetaDAO improve the product
&#x20; &#x20;
\- Provides more proof points of futarchy
&#x20; &#x20;
\- If MetaDAO sells some of its tokens or stakes them to the vault, it could receive cash to fund future activities
&#x20; &#x20;
\- Create a forcing function to improve the security of the core futarchy platform
&#x20; &#x20;
\## Potential pitfalls
\- Makes futarchy look less serious
&#x20; &#x20;
\- May make it harder to sell DeFi DAOs / non-crypto organizations
&#x20; &#x20;
\- May make it harder to recruit contributors
&#x20; &#x20;
\- Time & energy investment
&#x20; &#x20;
\- Would prevent MetaDAO from solely focusing on the core platform

## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to develop "futardio," a memecoin launchpad that allocates a percentage of new token supplies to a futarchy DAO, while incentivizing user engagement through a points system that converts to a new token, $FUTA.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders, including memecoin holders and MetaDAO, could benefit from increased engagement and revenue generation through the futardio platform.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Successful implementation could drive attention to futarchy, enhance its credibility, and provide funding for future MetaDAO initiatives.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
There is a risk that the association with memecoins could undermine the perceived seriousness of futarchy, potentially hindering recruitment and partnerships with traditional organizations.

## Content
## TLDR 
Approve a $25,000 budget for the development of Future's Pre-Governance Mandates tool and entry of the tool into the Solana Hackathon known as Radar. This project will revolutionize decision-making in DAOs by bridging the gap between community engagement and formal governance, positioning Future as a contender in the DAO governance world. 
Our aim is not to compete, but rather compliment the work of established governance players such as MetaDAO, Realms, Squads or Align. All DAOs will benefit from access to Future Pre-Governance Mandates.
---
**Overview** 
This proposal seeks approval for the development and budget allocation for Future's Pre-Governance Mandates tool, which will be entered into the Solana Radar Hackathon (September 1 - October 8, 2024).
- **Target Customer:** 
- Solana-based DAOs and crypto projects seeking improved community engagement and decision-making processes.
- Professional proposal builders looking for tools to make drafting successful governance proposals easier.
- **Problem Solved:** Traditional decision-making methods in DAOs often lead to low engagement and potentially problematic outcomes. There's a critical need for a tool that can efficiently gather community input, analyze complex issues, and refine proposals before formal governance votes.
- **Monetization:** There are several potential models for monetization, including but not limited to: $FUTURE staking, Monthly Payments, Pay-as-you-go etc.
- **Key Metrics:**
- **Number of DAOs onboarded**
- **User engagement rates**
- **Quality and quantity of proposals generated**
- **Value Creation:** The tool will provide DAOs with deeper insights into stakeholder sentiment, increase participation, and lead to more informed governance decisions.
- **Total Budget:** $25,000 USD
- This budget covers the entire hackathon duration and production of an MVP “Mandate” tool.
---
**Problem** 
Governance is so much more than voting. Key decisions must be made by community leaders and members throughout the governance process, particularly leading up to formal submission of proposals. There are very few tools to support this process, and those that exist often lead to decisive discourse and low engagement. Our tool facilitates engagement between community leaders, community members and the wider web3 ecosystem to produce well-thought out, well-supported and secure proposals prior to their submission.
---
**Design** 
**Product Description:** The Pre-Governance Mandates tool is a dApp-based solution combining a powerful decision-making engine with customizable surveys. It will leverage blockchain and (eventually) AI technology to provide impactful data. Innovative features like Blinks will allow DAOs to find feedback where their stakeholders are.
**Key Features:**
1. Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Engine
2. Customizable Survey System
3. Web3 Integration (Solana wallet connect, Blinks)
4. AI-Powered Analysis Tool
5. Mandates Dashboard
---
**Business** 
**Budget:**
- Decision-Making Engine & API Upgrades - $5000
- Mandates Wizard Upgrades - $3000
- dApp Build (Frontend) - $7000
- dApp Build (Backend) - $5000
- Documentation & Graphics - $5000
**Expected Impact:**
- Increased community engagement in DAOs
- Higher quality proposals and more informed decision-making
- Positioning Future as a leader in DAO governance solutions on Solana
---
**Monetization** 
_Future will not rush monetization on this product. The objective is to accumulate power-users. The ideas below are simply that, ideas._
**Future Revenue Streams:**
- **Staking**: DAOs stake Future tokens for unlimited access
- **One-time payments:** Purchasable in $FUTURE
- 70% returned to NFT stakers
- 30% sent to treasury
- **Subscription Model**:
- **Consultancy:** Professional mandate curation
_Whatever the model, it will benefit $FUTURE_
**About Future:** 
Future is building a comprehensive pre-governance platform for DAOs and crypto projects on Solana. By leveraging advanced decision-making tools, Web3 technologies, and AI-powered insights, Future aims to revolutionize how decentralized communities make decisions and engage their stakeholders.

### Overview
Four weeks ago, MetaDAO completed its strategic partnership as part of [Proposal 19](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/metadao/proposals/9BMRY1HBe61MJoKEd9AAW5iNQyws2vGK6vuL49oR3AzX). To support MetaDAOs operations, we have created a US entity as a vehicle for paying MetaDAO contributors.
Of note is:
- This entity does not have nor will own any intellectual property, all efforts produced are owned by MetaDAO LLC.
- This entity will be responsible for the costs of services and development and not have authority to encumber MetaDAO LLC.
We are creating this proposal with a memo instruction to agree and sign the services agreement, which is legally binding as defined in MetaDAO LLCs operating agreement. You can review this agreement here:
[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vvl94DpvSpJoPGFyESs1TbGpnNf6zGBYp5a-5wwGXgM](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vvl94DpvSpJoPGFyESs1TbGpnNf6zGBYp5a-5wwGXgM)
If passed this proposal will execute the memo instructions which will act as a countersignatory to the agreement. The first disbursement from MetaDAO LLC to the entity will occur on September 1st, 2024 or when passed, whichever is later.
This agreement can be canceled by the DAO with a 30 day notice or immediately through material breach of contract by either party. A 30 day notice and cancellation would need to be executed through a proposal.
If any significant material expense is to be assessed or significant changes to the contract are to be made, those shall be put through the governance process of MetaDAO.
- The expected annualized burn is $1.378M.
- You can read about our [Q3 Roadmap](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/metadao/proposals/7AbivixQZTrgnqpmyxW2j1dd4Jyy15K3T2T7MEgfg8DZ).

## Content
This proposal seeks to establish a reserve within the Dean's List treasury on Realms, aimed at ensuring financial stability and enabling long-term growth. The reserve will be funded by allocating 2.5% of all USDC payments received by the DAO, with the treasury being managed by Kai (@DeFi\_Kai), and ongoing input and feedback from the community.
The reserved funds will be securely held in our **Mango Delegate Account via Realms**. Potential diversification options include low-risk assets like USDY (Yield-bearing USD) and riskier assets like JLP (Jupiter Liquidity Pools).
*Comprehensive reports will be provided for each asset in the portfolio.*
### Treasury Management & Oversight
To ensure transparency and accountability, its suggested that Kais role as Treasury Manager be subject to a quarterly review. At the end of each quarter, Kai will submit a comprehensive performance report and proposal. These reports will include a detailed analysis of the following:
- **PNL (Profit and Loss):** A breakdown of gains or losses incurred during the quarter.
- **Strategy Success Rates:** Evaluation of implemented strategies and their effectiveness.
- **Future Proposals:** Recommendations for any new strategies or changes based on market conditions and community feedback.
#### Whitelisted Assets
Each asset proposed for the treasury should be evaluated according to a risk score. The risk score is a value that rates assets from 0 (risky) to 1 (safe).
_The risk score (Rs) in this proposal is based on early calculations and methods that are still being worked on. While we plan to finish the full risk scoring system by next quarter, please note that the current numbers might not show all important risk factors yet_
$ Rs=(w1⋅Volatility)+(w2⋅Liquidity Risk)+(w3⋅Market Cap Risk)+(w4⋅Historical Drawdown Risk) $
- Volatility Weight (w1): 0.4
- Liquidity Risk Weight (w2): 0.2
- Market Cap Risk Weight (w3): 0.3
- Drawdown Risk Weight (w4): 0.1
**Volatility:** Historical standard deviation of daily returns (normalized as decimal i.e. 70% \= 0.7).
**Volume:** Measure trading volume relative to liquidity over the past 90 days. OR define a benchmark for volume and compare the asset's volume to the benchmark.
**Market Cap Risk:** Comparing asset market caps to a benchmark marketcap.
**Drawdown risk:** The largest percentage drop in the value of an asset from its peak to its trough. (normalized as decimal i.e. 70% \= 0.7)
**Assets with an RS \<= .5 are risky, and assets with an RS \>= .5 are considered safer.**
The portfolio will consist of an 80/20 split, with 80% of the portfolio being safe assets and the remaining 20% consisting of risky assets.
Any asset proposed by Deans List Citizens must be scored and compared to the current assets in the treasury. Before implementation, the asset will be judged on its ability to:
1. Increase overall returns.
2. Offer diversification (when required).
3. Replace a similar asset with a lower risk score.
The weight of the newly proposed asset (compared to the treasury) will be assessed to achieve the highest and safest returns.
## Budget
- Performance fee: 5% of the treasury's quarterly profit.
- At the end of each quarter, a 3-month vesting contract will be created, totaling 5% of the treasury's profits for the previous quarter.
### Goals of the Proposal:
1. Establish a Treasury Reserve:
1. Create a dedicated reserve fund to serve as a financial buffer for the DAO, particularly in "rainy day" scenarios (e.g., significant economic downturns, emergency DAO funding needs).
2. This reserve will focus on risk mitigation and capital preservation, ensuring that the DAO remains resilient in times of uncertainty.
2. Support DAO Longevity and Growth:
1. Enable potential growth of the reserve through a diversified, risk-averse portfolio, focusing on stable and USD-backed assets. This will allow the DAO to balance liquidity needs while pursuing low-risk yield opportunities.
3. Community Engagement and Feedback:
1. Community members will have the opportunity to contribute their perspectives and insights into asset diversification, helping guide treasury decisions to align with the collective best interests of the DAO.
#### TWAP
TWAP 3% Increase Requirement:
Current MCAP: 523k USDC
Target MCAP: 539k USDC
\$DEAN Price Prediction (3% TWAP):
Current \$DEAN Price: 0.005227 USDC
Target \$DEAN Price: 0.005383 USDC
### Deliverables for First Quarter (after proposal):
1. Define Rainy Day Scenarios:
1. Collaborate with the community to establish clear guidelines on what qualifies as a "rainy day" event, specifying the conditions in which the reserve can be accessed.
2. Produce Initial Treasury Reports:
1. Deliver comprehensive reports covering the following metrics:
1. Treasury growth since the reserve was established.
2. Current asset allocation and diversification.
1. Expected return calculation
2. Sharpe Ratio for Risk-adjusted Performance
3. Maximum Drawdown
3. Projections of future treasury growth based on ongoing strategies.
4. Actual returns vs. expected returns.
5. A summary of risk management efforts.

**Overview**
As specified in “[MetaDAO Fundraise \#2](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/metadao/proposals/9BMRY1HBe61MJoKEd9AAW5iNQyws2vGK6vuL49oR3AzX),” our goal is to build a core team in San Francisco. At this stage, weve found a highly-engaged candidate for the founding engineer role: Advaith Sekharan. We propose extending an offer to Advaith for $180,000 per year cash compensation and 1% of the token supply subject to the same terms as our [co-founder allocation](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/metadao/proposals/BgHv9GutbnsXZLZQHqPL8BbGWwtcaRDWx82aeRMNmJbG).
**Specifications**
The terms of its release would be the same as Nallok and Proph3t, except that the vest would begin in November 2024\. Specifically:
- **Fixed Token Allocation**: If you exclude DAO holdings, the supply of META is 19,755.7. If you include Nallok and Proph3ts potential allocation, the supply of META is 23,705.7. 1% of that is 237 META. So Advaiths allocation would be 237 META, fixed regardless of future dilution.
- **Linear Unlocks**: 100% would unlock at a \$5B market cap, with linear unlocks depending on price. For example, a \$500M market cap would release 10% of the allocation or 23.7 META.
- **Unlock Criteria**: Decided at a later date, potentially using a simple moving average (SMA) over a month or an option-based system.
- **Start Date**: November 2024 for the purposes of vesting. October 16th for the purposes of retroactive salary.
- **Vesting Period**: No tokens unlock before November 2028, no matter what milestones are hit. This signals long-term commitment to building the business.
- **Illiquid Vest**: The DAO can claw back all tokens until July 2025 (8 months from start). Thereafter, tokens vest into a smart contract / multisig that can't be accessed by Proph3t or Nallok.
- **Market Cap Definition**: \$1B market cap is defined as a price of \$42,198 per META. Payouts are based on the value per META, not total market capitalization.

- Created: 2024-10-22
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/A19yLRVqxvUf4cTDm6mKNKadasd7YSYDrzk6AYEyubAC
- Description: This proposal seeks to increase the boost multiplier for ORE-SOL LP to 6x (from the current 4x).
- Categories: {'category': 'Dao'}
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to increase the ORE-SOL LP boost multiplier from 4x to 6x to enhance liquidity, gather data on boost impacts, and explore the application of futarchy within the ORE community.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Liquidity providers may benefit from increased incentives, potentially leading to a more robust trading environment.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The higher multiplier could attract more liquidity, improving market depth and overall trading efficiency.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
Increasing the multiplier may not adequately mitigate the risks faced by liquidity providers, potentially leading to reduced participation if market volatility persists.
## Content
## Summary
This proposal seeks to increase the boost multiplier for ORE-SOL LP to 6x (from the current 4x).
## Overview
Boosts are an ORE-native incentive mechanism for turning capital into “virtual hashpower”. They allow miners to stake select tokens and earn multipliers on their mining rewards. Currently, ORE supports boost multipliers for 3 different tokens:
- ORE-SOL LP (4x)
- ORE-ISC LP (4x)
- ORE (2x)
With the launch of boosts just over one week ago, ORE saw a significant rise in the total value of liquidity provided to the boosted trading pools. This proposal seeks to increase the multiplier for the ORE-SOL LP to further increase liquidity and better understand how boost multipliers affect the targeted markets.
## Objectives
1. Increase TVL in the ORE-SOL liquidity pool.
* Liquidity providers take on a lot of risk, especially for volatile trading pairs such as ORE and SOL. To increase liquidity in these markets, the incentives for liquidity providers have to counterbalance the risks.
* By increasing the ORE-SOL LP multiplier to 6x, we can offer greater incentives for ORE-SOL liquidity providers and potentially increase the overall market depth.
2. Gather data to understand how changes in boost multipliers affect the liquidity.
* Boosts are only 1 week old. The passing of this proposal would mark the first time any multiplier has been changed.
* By increasing the ORE-SOL LP multiplier to 6x, we can gather more data from the market and better understand how changes to boosts multipliers affect the overall ORE liquidity network.
3. Introduce futarchy to the ORE community.
* Futarchy has recently emerged as a novel governance mechanism for teams across crypto. It has potential applications for ORE ranging from small operational decisions to the management of critical systems such as the supply function.
* Futarchy is still a very nascent technology and before we can seriously consider integrating it into critical ORE systems, we need to understand it better. This proposal is intended to serve as a low-risk testrun for the ORE community to learn more about futarchy and how it works.

- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/Gp3ANMRTdGLPNeMGFUrzVFaodouwJSEXHbg5rFUi9roJ
- Description: If executed, this proposal would convert $150,000 of MetaDAO's treasury into $ISC, a Solana-native stablecoin
- Categories: {'category': 'Treasury'}
- Discussion: https://discord.gg/V4TSWuCc3X
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
MetaDAO proposes to swap $150,000 USDC (approximately 6.8% of its treasury) for ISC to hedge against dollar devaluation and encourage other DAOs to adopt similar treasury strategies.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This move aims to protect MetaDAO's treasury value while potentially benefiting other DAOs through the promotion of innovative governance structures.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Holding ISC may help maintain the value of MetaDAO's treasury over time due to its inflation-resistant design.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The proposal carries risks such as the potential for ISC to lose value against the USD, given its nascent stage and smaller market presence compared to USDC.
## Content
**Type**
Operations Direct Action
**Author(s)**
@Richard_ISC
**Overview**
MetaDAO has approximately \$2.2M in USDC in its treasury.
This poses a risk to the DAO given that the US Dollar has been losing value at an increasing rate. The dollar has lost 17.8% of its value since 2020. Due to the debt situation, we dont expect this to be resolved soon, if ever.
\$ISC was built specifically to solve this issue. ISC is an inflation-resistant stable currency built on Solana. It was launched at the Solana Hacker House in HCMC on 2023-03-17 at a price of \$1.545. It is now trading at \$1.81.
Not pegged to USD, ISC is collateralized by a basket of financial assets. This basket consists of 20% cash, 20% commodities, 20% treasuries, 20% bonds, and 20% equities.
If the proposal passes, MetaDAO will swap 150,000 USDC of its treasury (~6.8%) for ISC.
Details:
MetaDAO would execute a DCA order on jup.ag using the following parameters:
Amount: 150,000 USDC
To buy: ISC
Every: 1 hours
Over: 10 orders
Min price: 1.7
Max Price: 1.9
The ISC team would encourage other DAOs to use MetaDAO Futarchy for similar treasury swap proposals. This could easily turn into a win-win-win.
Once the ISC DAO is set up, ISC would commit to use MetaDAO for part of its governance. Example proposals that we have in mind:
- Remove Freeze authority
- Changes in the basket
Potential advantages:
- MetaDAO maintains its treasury value over time
- Promotes other new Solana-native projects
- Showcase a simple Futarchy proposal for other DAOs to follow
Potential pitfalls:
- ISC is still small and early compared to USDC
- ISC could lose value to the USD

- Description: This proposal seeks to kick off liquidity farming for $FUTURE by creating a Raydium farm.
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
This proposal aims to enhance liquidity for the \$FUTURE token by establishing a Raydium farm, allocating 1% of the total token supply as rewards for liquidity providers.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Liquidity providers will benefit from incentives to participate in the \$FUTURE farm, leading to improved trading conditions.
#### 📈 Upside Potential

## Content
## Proposal: Initiate Liquidity Farming for $FUTURE on Raydium
### TLDR
This proposal seeks to kick off liquidity farming for \$FUTURE by creating a Raydium farm, allocating 1% of the total token supply as rewards to incentivize liquidity providers. By establishing a \$FUTURE-stable asset pool on Raydium, we aim to enhance token liquidity, improve trading experiences, and drive community engagement. Approval of this proposal will allow FutureDAO to proceed with setting up the farm, configuring rewards, and initiating the farming period.
### Objective
To enhance liquidity for the \$FUTURE token by establishing a Raydium farm, allocating 1% of the total \$FUTURE supply as rewards to incentivize liquidity providers.
### Background
Liquidity is vital for the seamless trading and adoption of any token. By setting up a farm on Raydium, we aim to attract liquidity providers, thereby improving the trading experience and fostering greater engagement with the \$FUTURE token.
### Proposal Details
1. **Allocation of Rewards**
- Dedicate 1% of the total \$FUTURE token supply as rewards for liquidity providers participating in the Raydium farm.
2. **Farm Configuration**
- **Token Pair**: \$FUTURE and a stable asset (e.g., USDC) to ensure stability and appeal to liquidity providers.
- **Fee Tier Selection**: Choose an appropriate fee tier based on the volatility and trading volume of the \$FUTURE token. Raydium offers fee tiers of 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25%, and 1%.
- **Starting Price and Initial Liquidity**: Determine the initial price and provide sufficient liquidity to support trading activities.
3. **Duration and Emission Rate**
- **Farming Period**: Set a farming period between 7 to 90 days, as per Raydium's guidelines.
- **Emission Rate**: Calculate the daily reward distribution to ensure consistent incentives throughout the farming period.
4. **Implementation Steps**
- **Pool Creation**: Create a Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) pool on Raydium for the \$FUTURE-stable asset pair.
- **Farm Creation**: Establish a farm linked to the CLMM pool, specifying the reward tokens, emission rate, and duration.
- **Monitoring and Management**: Regularly monitor the farm's performance and make necessary adjustments to optimize liquidity and participation.
### Expected Outcomes
- **Enhanced Liquidity**: Increased liquidity for \$FUTURE, leading to reduced slippage and improved trading experiences.
- **Community Engagement**: Attract new community members and incentivize existing holders to contribute to the ecosystem.
- **Token Visibility**: Elevate the profile of \$FUTURE within the DeFi community through active participation on Raydium.
### Budget
- **Reward Allocation**: 1% of the total \$FUTURE supply.
- **Operational Costs**: Transaction fees associated with pool and farm creation on the Solana network. According to Raydium's documentation, the average total cost for creating a CLMM pool is approximately 0.1 SOL.
### Conclusion
Establishing a Raydium farm for \$FUTURE with 1% of the total supply as rewards is a strategic initiative to boost liquidity, enhance trading experiences, and foster community engagement. This proposal seeks approval to proceed with the outlined plan.

## Proposal Details
- Project: coal
- Proposal: Cut emissions by 50%?
- Status: Passed
- Created: 2024-11-13
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/6LcxhHS3JvDtbS1GoQS18EgH5Pzf7AnqQpR7D4HxmWpy
- Description: Should coal cut emissions rate by 50%?
- Categories: {'category': 'Program'}
- Discussion: https://discord.gg/9SBhjCS9pN
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to reduce the emission rate from 15.625 to 7.8125 per minute, effectively halving the target emissions, and establish a bi-monthly decision market for future adjustments.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
Stakeholders may benefit from a more sustainable framework by reducing emissions, but they could face adjustments that impact supply dynamics.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
A successful reduction in the emission rate could lead to improved environmental outcomes and greater market stability.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
Failure to pass the proposal will maintain higher emissions, potentially leading to negative long-term environmental and market consequences.
## Content
## Overview
Under the current schedule, the target emission rate halves with each 5% increase in the circulating supply.
Following six halvings, the current emission target is 15.625 per minute (22,500 per day), resulting in an approximate annual inflation rate of 110%.
According to this schedule, the next halving will occur at a circulating supply of 7,350,000, lowering the emission target to 7.8125 per minute (11,250 per day) and reducing the annual inflation rate to about 56%
This schedule was initially established after launch as a temporary framework and was never intended to be a long-term solution.
Moving forward, well conduct bi-monthly decision markets to guide adjustments to the emission rate.
## Details
If this proposal passes, the emission rate will be fixed at a target of 7.8125 per minute. If it fails, the rate will remain at the current target of 15.625 per minute.
A follow-up decision market will be held in early January, approximately two months from now, to determine the next rate adjustment.

- Description: Should ORE migrate to a deflationary emissions curve and reduce the supply cap to 5m tokens?
- Categories: {'category': 'Governance'}, {'category': 'Program'}
- Discussion: https://discord.gg/hRBrVmf48q
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal suggests reducing ORE's supply cap from 21 million to 5 million tokens and implementing a 10% annual reduction in emissions rate.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This change aims to enhance token scarcity, potentially benefiting current holders and attracting new investors.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
A deflationary emissions curve could lead to increased demand and higher token value over time.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The significant reduction in supply may create uncertainty in the market and could negatively affect liquidity.
## Content
## Summary
Should ORE migrate to a deflationary emissions curve and reduce the supply cap to 5m tokens?
## Overview
When ORE launched in April 2024, it was built with a linear emissions rate of 1 ORE/min and uncapped total supply. In response to overwhelming feedback from the community, we introduced an artificial supply cap of 21m tokens in the redesign of v2.
Over the last few months, the ORE community has continued to voice interest in accelerating OREs distribution. After considering a series of alternative models, we would like to propose the following changes be made:
1. Reduce the supply cap from 21m to 5m tokens
2. Reduce the emissions rate by 10% every 12 months
ORE's current limit of 21m tokens was originally chosen to mimic Bitcoin's famously popular total supply count. With a supply cap 4.2x lower, ORE's supply will be an order of magnitude more scarce than Bitcoin when fully-diluted.
Rather than infrequent "halvings" every 4 years, we believe ORE's mission would be better served by reducing
emissions at a more gradual 10% per year. This would provide a faster, smoother, and scarcer distribution curve than Bitcoin. .ORE's supply schedule would roughly follow the timeline outlined in the table below and reach full dilution by approximately 2052.
| Year | Circulating | Dilution |
| ---- | ----------- | -------- |
| ~5 | 2.5m | 50% |
| ~18 | 4.5m | 90% |
| ~28 | 5m | 100% |
We believe these changes strike an ideal balance between all the competing value sets in the ORE community:
- It reduces FDV to address sticker shock of buyers.
- It introduces a deflationary curve that decays faster than Bitcoin.
- It caps the supply an order of magnitude more scarce than Bitcoin.
- It provides ~30 years of mining runway for onboarding initiatives and liquidity incentives.
If passed, we will implement these changes and migrate the mainnet mining program. This would represent a major step forward in ORE's hardening process and bring us one step closer towards freezing the contract for good.

- Description: Should ORE launch a boost for HNT-ORE liquidity? Our primary strategic goal for ORE defi is to build up a deep liquidity network consisting of all real world assets on Solana.
- Categories: {'category': 'Governance'}
- Discussion: https://discord.gg/gyAUajbZ6f
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to launch a liquidity boost for the HNT-ORE pair to enhance liquidity in the ORE network, establish a 3-tier boost multiplier system, and position ORE as a competitive unit in the Solana DeFi ecosystem.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This initiative would benefit liquidity providers and traders by increasing the depth and diversity of liquidity available in the ORE network.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
By integrating HNT into the ORE liquidity network, the proposal could attract more users and increase trading volume, enhancing ORE's market position.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The reliance on HNT's performance and market acceptance poses a risk, as any decline in HNT's value or utility could adversely affect the liquidity and stability of the ORE network.
## Content
## Summary
Should ORE launch a boost for HNT-ORE liquidity?
## Overview
Our primary strategic goal for ORE defi is to build up a deep liquidity network consisting of all real world assets on Solana. As the central hub of this network, ORE would reduce costs and minimize slippage for traders by increasing the depth and diversity of liquidity in the network. By focusing exclusively on real world assets such as tokenized commodities and DePIN credits, ORE would uniquely position itself as a competitive unit of account for assets representing real world value in the Solana defi ecosystem.
As a revolutionary new wireless networking protocol, [Helium](https://helium.com) is one of the flagship DePIN projects on Solana and all of crypto. HNT (Helium Network Token) is the primary reward and governance token of the Helium network. It is used to reward hotspot operators who maintain network coverage, and spent by customers who connect devices and build IoT applications on the Helium network. With the passing of [HIP-138](https://blog.helium.com/hip-138-tl-dr-hnt-is-back-return-to-simplicity-994a32639dda?gi=c85a1928bfce), Helium is consolidating its network tokenomics around the HNT token, making it an ideal candidate for the next token in the ORE liquidity network.
With the passing of this proposal, we would introduce a new boost with the same multiplier value as the ORE-ISC liquidity pair. Specifically, the HNT-ORE boost would apply to kTokens representing shares in a Kamino vault managing a concentrated liquidity position on Orca. We would additionally commit to formalizing a 3-tier system for boosts multipliers. The first tier would apply to vanilla ORE stake. The second tier for critical liquidity pairs such as SOL-ORE and USDC-ORE. And a third tier for extended liquidity pairs such as ISC-ORE, HNT-ORE, and others. Future proposals to change boost multipliers would apply to a tier as a whole. This 3-tier system would simplify community proposals to manage boost multipliers in the future.

## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
This proposal seeks to prioritize the listing of the META token on Drift for Spot and Perp trading, leveraging futarchy to enhance governance participation and decision-making efficiency within the Drift ecosystem.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
The listing of META aims to empower Drift's community by increasing governance participation and enhancing trading opportunities.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Successful implementation could lead to increased liquidity and trading volume for both META and Drift, fostering a more engaged user base and better decision-making processes.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
The proposal faces significant risks due to META's low on-chain liquidity and trading volume, which may result in high volatility and susceptibility to price manipulation.
## Content
**Proposal Type**
Token Listing Application
**Author(s)**
Nallok, Divide
**Preamble**
Drift is evaluating the use of futarchy for token listing. Futarchy is a process by which speculative markets make decisions, because markets aggregate information better, reduce bias, and incentivize accuracy versus a standard voting process. Or simply \- markets make better decisions.
The goals of the futarchic listing process are i/ to empower the community to surface listings for Drift, ii/ better utilize governance, and iii/ to create a repeatable, lightweight process that will lead to more optimal use of Drifts development and listing resources.
Should this proposal pass, the META token will be prioritised to be listed on Drift for Spot and Perp trading. It will also serve as an experiment to help develop a decentralised listing process using futarchy.
**Overview**
META is the tokenized representation of MetaDAO, the world's first market-governed organization. This mechanism is called Futarchy and was first created by George Mason University Economist Robin Hanson in 2001\. Futarchy, which was first implemented onchain by MetaDAO, is designed to improve governance participation and incentivize more optimal decision-making, leading to better outcomes. The basic idea at the core of futarchy is that speculative markets are better decision-makers than voters. The advantage of using markets compared to traditional voting is that markets aggregate information better, reduce bias, and incentivize accuracy
**Token Utility**
META is traded in conditional markets for decision making of the DAO. For every proposal, theres a pass market, where people speculate on what the value of the DAO would be if the proposal passed, and a fail market, where people speculate on what the value of the DAO would be if the proposal failed. Decisions are made based on the prices of these two markets. If the value of META is higher in the pass market than in the fail market, it means the market thinks that the proposal adds value. So it should pass. If the pass market is lower than the fail market, it means the market believes it destroys value. So it should fail.
**Why Prioritize This Listing**
Historically, governance participation among token holders has been low and the processes to govern have not been user-friendly. To overcome these challenges, MetaDAO uses markets to make decisions, anything that can improve market utilization such as higher liquidity and perpetuals will allow for more information to be encoded into the decision making process. If traders have the ability to go long or short META they will have more capacity to trade the decision markets creating a flywheel between Drift Perps Markets and MetaDAO Decision Markets, ultimately creating more volume, more trades, new users, and better user retention.
**Risks**
This token has low onchain liquidity and low trading volume. It has limited CEX exposure (only on CoinEX) and it is uncertain if there will be any increase in volume. Therefore, it can be highly volatile and susceptible to price manipulation, which poses a significant risk when offering futures or when used as collateral.
**Liquidity Incentives or Programs**
If passed and listed, Drift would commit to a 1x multiplier for FUEL in the markets for spot deposits.
**Additional Information**
MetaDAO is a novel approach to governance that has the potential to reshape how decisions are made on and off chain.

- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/4gaJ8bi1gpNEx6xSSsepjVBM6GXqTDfLbiUbzXbARHW1
- Description: The longevity of the DAO depends on maintaining financial stability through stable reserves.
- Categories: {'category': 'Dao'}, {'category': 'Treasury'}
- Discussion: https://discord.gg/kex9sSW46x
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
The proposal aims to convert Dean's List DAO treasury assets into stablecoins to enhance financial stability, increase the probability of survival from 50% to 90%, and positively impact the Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) by 5% to 20%.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This strategy provides stakeholders with greater confidence in the DAO's financial health and operational sustainability.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The conversion to stablecoins could increase the FDV from $500,000 to a range of $525,000$600,000, reflecting improved market perception.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
While the proposal reduces volatility risk, it may limit potential gains from higher-risk assets if market conditions improve.

## Impact of De-Risking DL DAO Treasury on Longevity and FDV
### 1. Longevity Analysis
The longevity of the DAO depends on maintaining financial stability through stable reserves. The treasury, valued between $75,000 and $87,000 at $350 SOL (without DEAN in consideration), is proposed to be converted into stablecoins to reduce risk.
### Longevity Benefits
1. **Reduction in Risk:** Stablecoins provide immunity to SOL and SPL tokens price volatility, securing the treasury's value.
2. **Operational Buffer:** Locking in $75,000$87,000 ensures predictable funding for operations and development.
**Probability of survival:**
- **Before de-risking:** 50% (subject to market volatility).
- **After de-risking:** 90% (stable reserves secured).
Thus, de-risking increases the probability of DAO longevity by 40 percentage points (from 50% to 90%).

### 2. Impact on Fully Diluted Valuation
The current FDV is $500,000 (Conservative FDV to accommodate proposal duration). De-risking the treasury by converting to stablecoins positively impacts market perception, reflecting the DAOs financial prudence. Investors may attribute higher value due to reduced uncertainty.
De-risking results in a confidence boost, modeled as a percentage increase in FDV. Two scenarios were calculated:
1. **Low Confidence Boost (5%):**
- **Updated FDV:** $500,000 × (1 + 0.05) = $525,000
- **Percentage Increase:** (525,000 - 500,000) / 500,000 × 100 = 5%
2. **High Confidence Boost (20%):**
- **Updated FDV:** $500,000 × (1 + 0.20) = $600,000
- **Percentage Increase:** (600,000 - 500,000) / 500,000 × 100 = 20%

### 3. TWAP Calculation
We require TWAP > 3% for the proposal to pass:
**DL DAO FDV:** $500,000
**DL DAO FDV + 3%:** $515,000
The potential increase from de-risking our treasuries is well above the TWAP requirements.

### 4. Combined Analysis and Conclusion
De-risking the treasury by converting risky assets to stablecoins significantly enhances the DAOs probability of survival and positively impacts FDV:
- **Longevity Probability Increase:** From 50% to 90% (+40%).
- **FDV Increase:** $500,000 to a range of $525,000$600,000 (5%20% increase).
This strategy ensures financial stability while signaling prudence to investors, promoting the DAO's growth and resilience.

### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This initiative will likely benefit liquidity providers and ORE holders by improving trading conditions and market depth for ORE.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
Increasing liquidity through the USDC-ORE pair could attract more users and investors to the ORE ecosystem, enhancing its market presence.

## Content
## Summary
Should ORE launch a boost incentive for USDC-ORE liquidity?
## Overview
Our mission with ORE is to create the best digital gold product in crypto. To accomplish this, we need to drive deep liquidity for ORE across a variety of assets in Solana defi.
USDC is a stablecoin, pegged to the US dollar, and fully-backed by dollars and treasuries held in US banks by Circle. It is one of the lynchpin assets connecting Solana to the traditional financial system. It therefore represents a strategically important market for ORE to target with liquidity incentives.
With the passing of this proposal, we would launch a USDC-ORE vault on Kamino and set it up with the same boost multiplier as the ORE-SOL Kamino liquidity pair.

## Proposal Details
- Project: coal
- Proposal: Establish Development Fund?
- Status: Failed
- Created: 2024-12-05
- URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/DhY2YrMde6BxiqCrqUieoKt5TYzRwf2KYE3J2RQyQc7U
- Description: Should COAL establish a development fund?
- Categories: {'category': 'Governance'}
- Discussion: https://discord.gg/YeJTmTqQG4
## Summary
### 🎯 Key Points
Establish a Development Fund through a 4.2% emissions allocation to support protocol development, reward community contributions, and enable marketing initiatives for the \$COAL ecosystem.
### 📊 Impact Analysis
#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact
This proposal provides a structured funding mechanism that benefits community members and developers by rewarding contributions and fostering innovation.
#### 📈 Upside Potential
The fund has the potential to enhance project sustainability and growth, leading to a more robust \$COAL ecosystem.
#### 📉 Risk Factors
Implementing the fund may dilute mining rewards and could create tension among miners if perceived as reducing their share of emissions.
## Content
## Overview
Since its fair launch in August 2024, \$COAL has been a community-driven project with no pre-mine or team allocation. While this approach has ensured a fair start, it limits our ability to scale the project and reward community contributions.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of the project, we propose establishing a **Development Fund through a 4.2% emissions allocation**.
This fund will:
- Support on-going protocol development and innovation
- Reward community-driven initiatives and contributions
- Enable marketing and growth initiatives to expand the \$COAL ecosystem
## Details
The emissions allocation will be 4.2% of the current mining emission rate:
11,250 * 0.042 = 472.5 (development allocation per day)
To avoid reducing mining rewards, this allocation will result in a 4.2% increase in total supply growth. However, future emission rate adjustments will integrate this allocation into the base rate.
The development allocation will be claimed weekly and transferred to a DAO-managed multisig wallet. All expenditures from this fund will be tracked and shared publicly to ensure transparency and accountability.
#### Example for Future Adjustments:
If the emission rate were adjusted to 10,000 \$COAL/day:
- Mining rewards: 9,580 \$COAL/day
- Development allocation: 420 \$COAL/day
