MetaDAO: Develop a Saber Vote Market?

Summary

Proposal to build a vote market for Saber's veSBR holders, funded by a $150k consortium of ecosystem teams (UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, Saber). MetaDAO would own the majority of the platform, with $62k allocated to development costs and $90k reserved for ongoing operations. The platform would enable veSBR holders to earn yield by selling their votes and allow projects to acquire liquidity more efficiently than through bespoke campaigns.

Revenue Projections

Based on Curve and Aura benchmarks, estimated $1 in yearly vote trade volume per $50 of Saber TVL. With Saber's $20M TVL at the time, projected $400k annual volume. At 15% take rate and 65% MetaDAO ownership, estimated $39k annual revenue to MetaDAO.

Significance

This proposal demonstrates MetaDAO's pivot from building its own vote market (Marinade, proposal 0) to providing futarchy-governed infrastructure as a service for other protocols. It shows MetaDAO's legitimacy-building strategy through partnerships with established Solana projects and represents an early test of the "futarchy as a service" model. The multi-party funding consortium structure ($150k from 4+ teams) validates external demand for MetaDAO's governance technology.
