The execution plan involved coordinating a private sale to raise 75,000 USDC, then using 1,000 META paired with 35,000 USDC to create a liquidity pool on Meteora, setting an initial spot price of 35 USDC per META. ## Market Data - **Outcome:** Passed - **Proposer:** UuGEwN9aeh676ufphbavfssWVxH7BJCqacq1RYhco8e - **Proposal Number:** 5 - **Completed:** 2024-02-10 - **Autocrat Version:** 0.1 ## Execution Structure The proposal established a 4/6 multisig containing Proph3t, Dean, Nallok, Durden, Rar3, and BlockchainFixesThis to execute a multi-step process: 1. Collect demand through Google form 2. Proph3t determines allocations 3. Participants transfer USDC (Feb 5-7 deadline) 4. Backfill unmet demand from waitlist (Feb 8) 5. Multisig distributes META to participants, creates LP, and disbands (Feb 9) Token allocation breakdown: - 3,100 META to sale participants - 1,000 META paired with 35,000 USDC for liquidity pool - 30 META as multisig member compensation (5 META each) ## Significance This proposal demonstrates the operational scaffolding required for futarchy-governed treasury operations. The proposal explicitly acknowledged "no algorithmic guarantee" of execution, instead relying on reputational incentives: "it's unlikely that 4 or more of the multisig members would be willing to tarnish their reputation in order to do something different." The execution model shows futarchy DAOs using human-operated multisigs with social enforcement for operational tasks even when the governance decision itself is market-determined. This represents a pragmatic hybrid between algorithmic governance and traditional operational execution. ## Relationship to KB - [[metadao]] - parent entity, treasury operation - [[MetaDAOs Autocrat program implements futarchy through conditional token markets where proposals create parallel pass and fail universes settled by time-weighted average price over a three-day window]] - governance mechanism - [[futarchy-governed DAOs converge on traditional corporate governance scaffolding for treasury operations because market mechanisms alone cannot provide operational security and legal compliance]] - operational pattern - [[meteora]] - liquidity pool platform
