Originally a sub-DAO of Grape Protocol. Self-describes as a "Network State" of Web3 power users. One of the early DAOs to adopt MetaDAO's futarchy governance outside of MetaDAO itself. - -## Current State -- **Token**: DEAN. Total supply capped at 100M (30M additional minted, then mint authority burned). Economic model: charge clients in USDC, use collected USDC to purchase DEAN tokens. -- **Governance**: Uses MetaDAO's futarchy for governance decisions. "Enhancing The Dean's List DAO Economic Model" was put through futarchy decision markets. -- **Scope evolution**: Beyond just feedback services — now involves broader Solana ecosystem coordination, trading community activities, AI agent token exploration. - -## Significance for KB -Dean's List is interesting not as a standalone company but as an adoption data point. It demonstrates that futarchy governance can be adopted by organizations outside of MetaDAO's direct ecosystem — a services DAO using market-based governance for operational decisions. If more existing DAOs migrate from Snapshot/token voting to futarchy, that validates the governance evolution thesis. - -## Relationship to KB -- [[DAO governance degenerates into political capture because proposal processes select for coalition-building skill over operational competence and the resulting bureaucracy creates structural speed disadvantages against focused competitors]] — Dean's List moved from token voting to futarchy to escape this -- [[optimal governance requires mixing mechanisms because different decisions have different manipulation risk profiles]] — Dean's List may use futarchy selectively for high-stakes decisions - ---- - -Relevant Entities: -- [[metadao]] — governance platform - -Topics: -- [[internet finance and decision markets]] - -## Timeline - -- **2024-12-19** — [[deans-list-implement-3-week-vesting]] passed: 3-week linear vesting for DAO payments to reduce sell pressure from 80% immediate liquidation to 33% weekly rate, projected 15%-25% valuation increase +Content of the Dean's List file. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/entities/internet-finance/islanddao-fund-deans-list-website-redesign.md b/entities/internet-finance/islanddao-fund-deans-list-website-redesign.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..66e813b1 --- /dev/null +++ b/entities/internet-finance/islanddao-fund-deans-list-website-redesign.md @@ -0,0 +1,8 @@ +--- +type: entity +name: IslandDAO Fund Dean's List Website Redesign +related: [] +... +--- + +Content of the IslandDAO Fund Dean's List Website Redesign file. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/inbox/archive/2024-12-30-futardio-proposal-fund-deans-list-dao-website-redesign.md b/inbox/archive/2024-12-30-futardio-proposal-fund-deans-list-dao-website-redesign.md index 34eb2ece..6fd68373 100644 --- a/inbox/archive/2024-12-30-futardio-proposal-fund-deans-list-dao-website-redesign.md +++ b/inbox/archive/2024-12-30-futardio-proposal-fund-deans-list-dao-website-redesign.md @@ -6,9 +6,13 @@ url: "https://www.futard.io/proposal/5V5MFN69yB2w82QWcWXyW84L3x881w5TanLpLnKAKyK date: 2024-12-30 domain: internet-finance format: data -status: unprocessed +status: processed tags: [futardio, metadao, futarchy, solana, governance] event_type: proposal +processed_by: rio +processed_date: 2026-03-11 +extraction_model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5" +extraction_notes: "Governance proposal with detailed financial projections.
