# MetaDAO: Appoint Nallok and Proph3t Benevolent Dictators for Three Months
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M) from proposal finalization through June 30, 2024, to accelerate MetaDAO's execution velocity. The role included authority over retroactive compensation (December 2023 - March 2024), ongoing business operations, project management, and contributor compensation. The proposal requested 1,015 META and 100,000 USDC to cover seven months of compensation (four retroactive, three forward-looking).

## Significance
|
|
This proposal represented a critical governance transition for MetaDAO, explicitly acknowledging that "the current proposal process is too slow and costly" for startup-speed execution. The proposers estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's probability of success by more than 20%, framing this as an emergency measure to bridge the gap until futarchy could function autonomously. The decision consolidated operational authority outside the futarchy mechanism itself, creating a temporary hierarchy to solve the cold-start problem of governance market liquidity.
|
|
|
|
The scope included exceptional authority to make code license grants and steer the off-chain proposal process, effectively creating a dual governance structure where strategic decisions remained with the dictators while futarchy continued to operate for other proposals.
