# MetaDAO: Develop AMM Program for Futarchy?
## Summary
Proposal to replace Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs) with Automated Market Makers (AMMs) in MetaDAO's futarchy implementation. The AMM design uses liquidity-weighted average price over time as the decision metric, with 3-5% fees to incentivize LPs and discourage manipulation. Addresses three core problems: lack of liquidity, manipulation susceptibility, and high state rent costs (135-225 SOL annually).
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** joebuild
- **Created:** 2024-01-24
- **Completed:** 2024-01-29
- **Budget:** 400 META on passing + 800 META on completion
- **Timeline:** 3 weeks development + 1 week review
## Significance
This represents a fundamental architecture change in MetaDAO's futarchy implementation, moving from orderbook-based to AMM-based conditional markets. The proposal explicitly diagnoses liquidity as the primary barrier to effective futarchy governance and proposes a mechanism redesign rather than incremental improvements. The liquidity-weighted pricing metric is a novel approach to futarchy settlement, departing from pure time-weighted average price.
## Technical Scope
**Program changes:**
- Basic AMM with liquidity-weighted average price tracking
- Integration with autocrat + conditional vault programs
- Permissionless pause feature (send back positions after verdict)
- Permissionless close feature (return state rent SOL when no positions remain)
- Loosen time restrictions on proposal creation (currently 50 slots)
- Revert-to-fail mechanism if proposal instructions fail after X days
**Frontend integration:** Led by 0xNalloK
**Team:** joebuild (program), 0xNalloK (frontend), TBD (review)
