MetaDAO: Appoint Nallok and Proph3t Benevolent Dictators for Three Months

Summary

This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M) to address MetaDAO's slow execution speed caused by a costly and time-consuming proposal process. The appointment covered retroactive compensation for December-March and forward compensation for April-June, totaling 1015 META and 100,000 USDC.

Market Data

  • Outcome: Passed
  • Proposer: HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz
  • Resolution: 2024-03-31
  • Proposal Number: 14

Scope of Authority

The BDF3M role granted Proph3t and Nallok authority over:

  • Retroactive compensation for all contributions prior to the proposal
  • Business operations including off-chain proposal process management, project management, expenses, and security improvements
  • Current contributor compensation including incentive-based components
  • Exceptional use grants for MetaDAO's code licenses
  • Monthly community updates

Compensation Structure

  • Total: 1015 META + 100,000 USDC
  • Period: 7 months (4 retroactive + 3 forward)
  • Average: 145 META + $14,000 per month
  • Distribution: From multisigs rather than DAO treasury directly
  • Vesting: META likely issued in 5-year locked form

OKRs

  • Execute faster: Complete 10 GitHub issues per week
  • Handle retroactive compensation within 1 week of passage
  • Oversee new landing page creation
  • Perform operations compensation for April-June

Significance

This proposal represented a critical governance transition where MetaDAO temporarily centralized decision-making authority to overcome execution bottlenecks. The proposers estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's success probability by over 20%, framing this as an existential decision point. The three-month term was designed as a bridge until futarchy could function autonomously or another governance structure could be established.
