Specifically, we would sell up to 4,000 META with no discount and no lockup. +The proposal outlined that funds would be used to: -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. +1. Expand the Futarchy launchpad infrastructure +2. Onboard additional Solana DAOs to the platform +3. Develop social features and custom contract capabilities +4. Support partnerships with projects like Drift, Dean's List, and Future -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 there’d 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 who’s participated after it’s complete. +### Governance Mechanism -## Raw Data +The proposal was decided through Futarchy using conditional markets on the Autocrat V0.3 protocol. The market resolved in favor of the proposal, indicating that token holders believed approving the fundraise would increase the value of META. -- Proposal account: `9BMRY1HBe61MJoKEd9AAW5iNQyws2vGK6vuL49oR3AzX` -- Proposal number: 3 -- DAO account: `CNMZgxYsQpygk8CLN9Su1igwXX2kHtcawaNAGuBPv3G9` -- Proposer: `HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz` -- Autocrat version: 0.3 -- Completed: 2024-06-30 -- Ended: 2024-06-30 +## Market Data +**Conditional Market Results:** -## Key Facts -- MetaDAO Proposal #3 passed 2024-06-30 -- Fundraise target: $1.5M through sale of up to 4,000 META tokens -- Minimum token price: $375 (implying $7.81M valuation) -- Initial launch partners: Drift, Dean's List, Future -- Proposed burn rate: $1.38M/year -- Team structure: 2 founders ($90k/yr each), 3 engineers ($190k/yr each), 1 growth person ($150k/yr), plus $300k audits, $80k/yr office, $100k/yr admin -- Custody structure: multisig with $100k/month treasury release rate -- Autocrat version: 0.3 -- Proposal account: 9BMRY1HBe61MJoKEd9AAW5iNQyws2vGK6vuL49oR3AzX +- Pass market price at resolution: [Data not available in archive] +- Fail market price at resolution: [Data not available in archive] +- Trading volume: [Data not available in archive] + +## Related Context + +This fundraise followed MetaDAO's first token sale (Fundraise 1), though specific comparison metrics are not included in this proposal. \ No newline at end of file -- 2.45.2
