The platform would allow DAOs to launch memecoins with 10% allocated to MetaDAO and 10% to the launching DAO. -### 📊 Impact Analysis -#### 👥 Stakeholder Impact -The proposal could attract memecoin holders and organizations interested in decentralized governance, enhancing community engagement. +## Key Features -#### 📈 Upside Potential -Successful implementation could significantly increase visibility and usage of futarchy, potentially leading to improved governance mechanisms and more robust product development. +- Futarchy-governed launchpad for memecoins +- 10% token allocation to MetaDAO per launch +- 10% token allocation to launching DAO +- Bootstrapping token (FUTARDIO) to capture platform value +- Designed to compete with pump.fun -#### 📉 Risk Factors -The initiative may undermine the perceived seriousness of futarchy and distract from MetaDAO's core focus, potentially complicating future recruitment and partnerships. +## Rationale from Proposal -## Content +- "There is a market opening for pump.fun competitors. pump.fun does not have a bootstrapping token." +- Creates distribution channel for futarchy adoption +- Generates revenue for MetaDAO through token allocations -MetaDAO now has a platform for creating and participating in futarchies. The central problem is distributing it: getting people and organizations to use futarchy. +## Outcome - +The proposal failed when the vote concluded on 2024-08-18. -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. There’s no question of “maybe the market knows what’s the best short-term action, but not the best long-term action.” +## Claims Extracted - - -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 token’s 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 wouldn’t be the core team, but they would support a team and fund them with a \$100k grant paid over 6 months.

The proposal's existence reflected a hypothesis that there was a market opening for pump.fun alternatives. -A proposal for a [[futarchy]]-governed memecoin launchpad argued there was a market opening for [[pump.fun]] competitors in August 2024, based on the hypothesis that offering a bootstrapping token to incentivize early adopters could differentiate from pump.fun's pure fee model. +However, the proposal was rejected by MetaDAO's futarchy markets, indicating the conditional market predicted negative expected value. This rejection suggests the market thesis about openings for pump.fun competitors was not validated, though the failure could also stem from execution risk, timing, or other factors unrelated to the underlying market opportunity. ## Evidence -The Futardio proposal stated: "There appears to be an opening in the market for a pump.fun competitor that offers a bootstrapping token to incentivize early adopters, rather than relying solely on fee revenue." +- The Futardio proposal was structured as a pump.fun competitor with futarchy governance +- MetaDAO's conditional futarchy market rejected the proposal +- The proposal included a bootstrapping token (FUTA) mechanism distinct from pump.fun's model -Source: [[2024-08-14-futardio-proposal-develop-memecoin-launchpad]] +## Counter-evidence -## Context - -This claim reflects the proposer's market hypothesis from August 2024.
