# ISC (Inflation-Resistant Stablecoin)
## Overview
ISC is a Solana-native stablecoin designed as an inflation-resistant alternative to USD-pegged stablecoins. Unlike traditional stablecoins pegged to $1.00, ISC is collateralized by a diversified basket of financial assets (20% each: cash, commodities, treasuries, bonds, equities) and launched at $1.545 on 2023-03-17. The project positions itself as a hedge against dollar devaluation for DAO treasuries and crypto holders.
## Timeline
- **2023-03-17** — ISC launched at Solana Hacker House in Ho Chi Minh City at initial price of $1.545
- **2024-10-30** — ISC team (via @Richard_ISC) proposed MetaDAO allocate $150K treasury to ISC; [[metadao-swap-150k-into-isc]] failed
- **2024-10-30** — ISC trading at $1.81 (17.2% appreciation from launch price)
## Relationship to KB
- [[metadao-swap-150k-into-isc]] - failed treasury diversification proposal
- Represents alternative stablecoin design philosophy: basket-collateralized appreciation vs USD peg stability

# MetaDAO: Swap $150,000 into ISC?
## Summary
MetaDAO proposed converting $150,000 USDC (approximately 6.8% of its $2.2M treasury) into ISC, a Solana-native inflation-resistant stablecoin. The proposal argued that holding USD exposes the DAO to devaluation risk (17.8% loss since 2020) and that ISC's basket-collateralized design (20% each: cash, commodities, treasuries, bonds, equities) provides better value preservation. The proposal failed.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed
- **Proposer:** @Richard_ISC (ISC team member)
- **Treasury Context:** MetaDAO held ~$2.2M USDC at proposal time
- **Proposed Allocation:** 6.8% of treasury
- **Execution Plan:** DCA order on Jupiter (10 orders over 10 hours, $15K each, price range $1.70-$1.90)
## Significance
This proposal represents an early test case for DAO treasury diversification into alternative stablecoins through futarchy governance. The failure suggests either:
1. Market skepticism about ISC's value proposition relative to USDC
2. Risk aversion to allocating treasury to a smaller, newer stablecoin
3. Concerns about the proposer's conflict of interest (ISC team member)
The proposal included a reciprocal governance commitment: ISC would use MetaDAO futarchy for its own governance decisions (removing freeze authority, basket composition changes), positioning this as a potential partnership rather than pure treasury management.
