Summary

A staged path to deploy the DAO treasury. DP-00001 does two things:

Funds a capped $150K legal and compliance budget in a segregated wallet (restricted to legal/regulatory work only)
Nominates a pre-formation treasury subcommittee for readiness work only (no authority to move treasury funds)

Key Details

Subcommittee Designates:

Drew (Co-founder 01Resolved) — crypto native finance, treasury intelligence
Usman (Founder Oro/orogoldapp) — RWA infrastructure, gold
Kru (Co-founder Umbra Privacy) — design, building on Solana since 2022
Kollan (Co-Founder MetaDAO) — governance, capital formation, early-stage funding

What designates CAN do: Draft treasury policies, design multisig/vault plans, prepare allowlists/limits/incident-response, prepare service provider checklists.

What designates CANNOT do under DP-00001: Move or control any treasury funds, act as live treasury subcommittee, speak for or bind the company.

Legal budget: $150K USDC from DAO treasury to dedicated wallet. Three firms: Morrison Cohen LLP, NXT Law, GVRN. Covers formation completion, filings, safe governance structures.

Pass thresholds adjusted: Team-sponsored proposals: -300 bps. Non-team proposals: +300 bps. Minimum stake: 500K -> 1.5M (aligned with cohort DAOs).

SOP Registry framework introduced: Standard Operating Procedures drafted by subcommittee, reviewed by membership, ratified through Operational Packs via futarchy votes. No SOPs adopted in DP-00001.

Three-Step Rollout

DP-00001 (this): Name designates, release legal budget, introduce SOP framework
DP-00002 (planned): SOLO buyback framework
DP-00003 (planned): Confirm company formation, designate Company Treasury Account, move initial tranche, activate delegated treasury authority with limits

Rio's assessment

Extraordinary institutional detail for a futarchy-governed DAO — subcommittees, SOPs, confidentiality undertakings, three law firms, segregated wallets
Pass threshold asymmetry is a mechanism design detail: team proposals need to "not hurt" (-300 bps), non-team need to "help" (+300 bps) — implicit trust calibration
50% pass likelihood with only $5.79K volume — this is an example of the "limited trading volume in uncontested decisions" phenomenon. The proposal is procedural, not contentious.
New claim: futarchy-governed DAOs converge on corporate governance patterns for treasury operations
Enriches: MetaDAO platform analysis, futarchy adoption friction
The staged rollout itself is evidence that operationalizing futarchy governance is a multi-step process requiring traditional institutional controls
