• Status: Passed
• Created: 2025-08-07
• URL: https://www.futard.io/proposal/4grb3pea8ZSqE3ghx76Fn43Q97mAh64XjgwL9AXaB3Pe
• Description: This proposal recommends migrating META to a mintable, redenominated token.
• Discussion: https://discord.gg/yueMhZWwuX

Summary

🎯 Key Points

The proposal aims to migrate the META token by implementing a 1:1000 token split, re-establishing mint and update authority, and transitioning to a new DAO version (0.5) to facilitate market-driven token issuance and governance.

📊 Impact Analysis

👥 Stakeholder Impact

Current METAC holders will be able to convert their tokens to the new META token through a migration process.

📈 Upside Potential

The proposed changes aim to improve liquidity and efficiency by reducing protocol-owned liquidity fees from 4% to 0.5% and expanding the token supply to better align with peer organizations.

📉 Risk Factors

There is a risk of confusion or loss of trust among existing token holders during the migration process, particularly if communication and execution are not effectively managed.

Overview

Futarchy is market-driven decision making. To stay true to that principle, it also requires market-driven issuance. A mintable token is essential to fund the organization, incentivize participation, and adapt to changing governance outcomes.

MetaDAO's token, META (METAC), is no longer fit for purpose: it's unmintable, the DAO’s treasury is exhausted, and unit bias remains an issue. This proposal introduces a 1:1000 token split, re-establishes mint and update authority, and migrates the DAO to version 0.5 (Squads).

We’re migrating METAC to a new token, META, expanding supply from ~20K to ~20M to align with peer futarchies. Protocol-owned liquidity will also shift from a restrictive 4% fee pool to a 0.50% pool, improving efficiency until FutarchyAMM is live.

The new META token will be governed by the new DAO, which holds mint and update authority. A migration contract and frontend will let METAC holders convert at any time.

Work on the migration is already underway and should take up to 1 week. Migration will only proceed if this proposal passes.
