MetaDAO has positioned itself as a launchpad for futarchy experiments, providing infrastructure and support for new futarchy-based organizations. This includes:

- Technical infrastructure (Autocrat protocol)
- Community of experienced futarchy participants
- Shared liquidity and attention
- Operational playbooks and best practices

The launchpad model allows MetaDAO to test futarchy variations and gather data on what works across different contexts and communities.

## Relevant Notes:

- **Futardio cult launch (2024-03-03 to 2024-03-04)**: MetaDAO launched the Futardio cult as a futarchy experiment, which later became the community that participated in Drift's futarchy implementation.
