# MetaDAO: Approve Q3 Roadmap
## Summary & Connections
**Proposal 4 (Autocrat v0.3) — Q3 2024 roadmap approved by futarchy.** Three workstreams: (1) launch market-based grants product — 5 orgs, 8 proposals through the product, (2) build full-time team — SF office, interview 40 candidates, hire Twitter intern, (3) improve UI performance — reduce page loads from 14.6s to 1s.
**Outcome:** Passed (2024-08-07).
**Connections:**
- The "market-based grants product" became FaaS's primary use case — extending futarchy from treasury decisions to grants allocation. This is the link between [[metadao-develop-faas]] (platform) and the Drift/Dean's List/Sanctum adoptions that followed.
- 14.6s page load times → 1s target reveals the early-stage infrastructure challenges. MetaDAO was still building basic UX while simultaneously running governance.
- "Interview 40 candidates" is ambitious for a DAO — shows the team treating MetaDAO as a startup, not a hobby project. The SF office signals intent to compete with traditional companies.
- This is one of the first "roadmap-as-proposal" patterns — the market approves a plan, not just a specific action. Creates accountability: if the team doesn't deliver, future proposals face skepticism.

## Full Proposal Text
Subject to the DAO's approval, this is what we'll be working on for the remainder of Q3:
### Launch market-based grants decisions
- Design a compelling market-based grants product
- Research and document existing grants programs across both SVM and EVM ecosystem
- Gather requirements and feedback from prospective users (DAOs)
- Gather requirements and feedback from decision market traders
- Create a 'cardboard cutout' design of what the UI will look like
- Implement the product
- Write requisite smart contracts
- Get smart contracts audited, either by a firm or by individuals
- Launch 5 organizations on the product
- Process 8 proposals through the product
### Start building the full-time team
- Secure an office space in San Francisco
- Interview 40 candidates for the engineering roles
- Hire a Twitter intern
### Improve the performance of the user interface
- Reduce page load times from 14.6s to 1s
