# 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.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** Proph3t (metaproph3t)
- **Proposal Account:** GPT8dFcpHfssMuULYKT9qERPY3heMoxwZHxgKgPw3TYM
- **Completed:** 2023-12-22
- **Autocrat Version:** 0.1
## Financial Structure
- **Total Funding:** $150,000 from consortium
- **Development Budget:** $62,000
- Smart contracts (Matt/fzzyyti): $24,000
- UI/UX (Marie): $12,000
- Platform design (Durden): $7,000

- Deployment/misc: $2,000
- **Treasury Reserve:** $88,000 for operations and maintenance
- **Revenue Model:** 5-15% take rate on vote trades
## 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.

## Team
- Marie (swagy_marie): UI/UX

- Durden (durdenwannabe): Platform design & tokenomics
- Joe (joebuild) & r0bre: Contract audits
- Proph3t (metaproph3t): Program manager
## 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.
