Drift's first futarchy proposal allocated 50,000 DRIFT tokens to incentivize early participants and future proposal quality. The allocation was split between immediate participation rewards and a fund for future proposal creators, indicating that the platform designers anticipated needing explicit financial incentives to bootstrap market activity.
|
|
|
|
This is notable because the target audience (Futardio cult members and Drift DAO participants) were already experienced with futarchy mechanics and crypto-native governance, yet still required token incentives to participate.

## Relevant Notes:
|
|
|
|
- [[futarchy-adoption-faces-friction-even-among-crypto-native-communities]]: The 50K DRIFT allocation provides evidence that experienced futarchy users still needed financial incentives to participate in Drift's implementation.
