# MetaDAO Proposal 1: Develop LST Vote Market

**Status:** Passed
**Category:** Product Strategy
**Date:** 2024

## Overview

First product-building proposal under Meta-DAO umbrella, framed as legitimacy-building strategy through profit-turning products.

## Proposal

Develop an LST bribe platform allowing MNDE and mSOL holders to earn extra yield by directing their stake to validators who pay them. A bribe market already existed, but this proposal aimed to build Meta-DAO's own implementation.

## Strategic Context

> "Given that the Meta-DAO is a fundamentally new kind of organization, it lacks legitimacy. To gain legitimacy, we need to first *prove that the model works*. I believe that the best way to do that is by building profit-turning products under the Meta-DAO umbrella."

This represents Meta-DAO's explicit strategy of establishing legitimacy through demonstrated product success rather than governance innovation alone.

## Outcome

Proposal passed through futarchy vote mechanism.
