**Overview**

Robin Hanson’s help has been integral thus far. Specifically, his insights on futarchy mechanism design have helped us design a more compelling and capital-efficient product.

We would like to extend an offer for him to become an advisor to MetaDAO.  
   
**Scope of Work** 

The scope of work would primarily be mechanism design and strategy advice. 

We would also likely want to co-author blog posts / whitepapers that explain new futarchic mechanisms. For example, we’ve been thinking about a new ‘shared liquidity AMM’ design where people provide META/USDC liquidity and it can be used in pMETA/pUSDC and fMETA/fUSDC markets, which we’ll want to write something about.  
   
**Compensation**

We propose to pay Robin 0.1% of the supply (20.9 META) vested over 2 years. 

**Early termination**

Either Robin, MetaDAO, or Proph3t and Kollan in unanimous agreement would be able to cancel this agreement, at which point any unvested tokens (minus the amount for the current month) would be forfeited.
