MetaDAO: Hire Advaith Sekharan as Founding Engineer?

Summary

Proposal to hire Advaith Sekharan as MetaDAO's founding engineer with $180,000 annual salary and 237 META tokens (1% of supply excluding DAO holdings). Token allocation uses performance-based unlocking tied to market cap milestones, with 100% unlocking at $5B market cap and linear scaling below that threshold. Vesting includes 4-year lockup starting November 2024 and 8-month clawback period.

Market Data

  • Outcome: Passed
  • Proposer: Nallok, Proph3t

  • Proposal Number: 7
  • Created: 2024-10-22
  • Completed: 2024-10-26

Compensation Structure

  • Cash: $180,000 per year (retroactive to October 16, 2024)
  • Tokens: 237 META (1% of 23,705.7 supply including founder allocations)
  • Unlock Mechanism: Linear based on market cap ($1B = $42,198 per META)
    • 10% unlocks at $500M market cap (23.7 META)
    • 100% unlocks at $5B market cap (237 META)
  • Vesting: No tokens accessible before November 2028 regardless of price milestones
  • Clawback: DAO can reclaim all tokens until July 2025 (8 months from start)

Significance

This hiring decision demonstrates futarchy-governed talent acquisition for core team building. The compensation structure mirrors the performance-based framework established in metadao-compensation-proph3t-nallok, extending the same market cap-linked unlock mechanism to founding team members. The proposal aligns with MetaDAO's San Francisco team-building strategy outlined in metadao-fundraise-2.
