**Overview**
|
||
As specified in “[MetaDAO Fundraise \#2](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/metadao/proposals/9BMRY1HBe61MJoKEd9AAW5iNQyws2vGK6vuL49oR3AzX),” our goal is to build a core team in San Francisco. At this stage, we’ve found a highly-engaged candidate for the founding engineer role: Advaith Sekharan. We propose extending an offer to Advaith for $180,000 per year cash compensation and 1% of the token supply subject to the same terms as our [co-founder allocation](https://futarchy.metadao.fi/metadao/proposals/BgHv9GutbnsXZLZQHqPL8BbGWwtcaRDWx82aeRMNmJbG).
|
||
|
||
**Specifications**
|
||
The terms of its release would be the same as Nallok and Proph3t, except that the vest would begin in November 2024\. Specifically:
|
||
|
||
- **Fixed Token Allocation**: If you exclude DAO holdings, the supply of META is 19,755.7. If you include Nallok and Proph3t’s potential allocation, the supply of META is 23,705.7. 1% of that is 237 META. So Advaith’s allocation would be 237 META, fixed regardless of future dilution.
|
||
- **Linear Unlocks**: 100% would unlock at a \$5B market cap, with linear unlocks depending on price. For example, a \$500M market cap would release 10% of the allocation or 23.7 META.
|
||
- **Unlock Criteria**: Decided at a later date, potentially using a simple moving average (SMA) over a month or an option-based system.
|
||
- **Start Date**: November 2024 for the purposes of vesting. October 16th for the purposes of retroactive salary.
|
||
- **Vesting Period**: No tokens unlock before November 2028, no matter what milestones are hit. This signals long-term commitment to building the business.
|
||
- **Illiquid Vest**: The DAO can claw back all tokens until July 2025 (8 months from start). Thereafter, tokens vest into a smart contract / multisig that can't be accessed by Proph3t or Nallok.
|
||
- **Market Cap Definition**: \$1B market cap is defined as a price of \$42,198 per META. Payouts are based on the value per META, not total market capitalization.
