The MetaDAO governance proposal is described as 'intentionally broad and operationally heavy' aiming to 'Migrate MetaDAO to a new onchain DAO & program, Update legal docs (Operating Agreement + MSA), Migrate treasury & liquidity' - demonstrating the operational complexity that creates adoption friction.
### Additional Evidence (confirm)

MetaDAO's decision to appoint temporary dictators explicitly cited the futarchy proposal process as 'costly and time-consuming' and causing 'slow execution speed.' The BDF3M role was designed to handle operations that futarchy couldn't efficiently process, including retroactive compensation decisions, day-to-day business operations, and security improvements. The proposal framed this as a temporary measure 'until futarchy could function autonomously or another governance structure could be established,' acknowledging that the mechanism wasn't yet capable of handling operational velocity requirements.

MetaDAO appointed Proph3t and Nallok as 'Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months' (BDF3M) with authority over retroactive compensation, business operations, contributor compensation, and security improvements. The proposal explicitly stated this was to address 'slow execution speed caused by a costly and time-consuming proposal process' and estimated failure would decrease success probability by over 20%. The three-month term was designed as a bridge until futarchy could function autonomously.

MetaDAO appointed Proph3t and Nallok as 'Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months' (BDF3M) in March 2024 to address 'slow execution speed caused by a costly and time-consuming proposal process.' The role granted authority over retroactive compensation, business operations, contributor compensation, and security improvements. The proposers estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's success probability by over 20%, framing this as an existential decision point. This represents a critical governance transition where MetaDAO temporarily centralized decision-making authority to overcome execution bottlenecks, with the three-month term designed as a bridge until futarchy could function autonomously.
Relevant Notes:
- [[optimal governance requires mixing mechanisms because different decisions have different manipulation risk profiles]] — extends to operations: markets for strategy, procedures for execution
