# MetaDAO: Hire Advaith Sekharan as Founding Engineer
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
Proposal to extend an offer to Advaith Sekharan for founding engineer role at MetaDAO with $180,000 annual cash compensation and 237 META tokens (1% of supply excluding DAO holdings). Token allocation uses same performance-based vesting structure as co-founders Nallok and Proph3t, with linear unlocks tied to market cap milestones from $500M to $5B and a 4-year cliff before any tokens unlock regardless of price.
