MetaDAO: Develop AMM Program for Futarchy?

Summary

Proposal #4 to develop an Automated Market Maker (AMM) program to replace Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs) in MetaDAO's futarchy implementation. The AMM would use liquidity-weighted price over time as the settlement metric, reducing state rent costs from 3.75 SOL per proposal to near-zero while addressing liquidity and manipulation concerns.

Market Data

  • Outcome: Passed
  • Proposer: joebuild
  • Created: 2024-01-24
  • Completed: 2024-01-29
  • Budget: 400 META on passing proposal, 800 META on completion

Technical Scope

Program changes:

  • Write basic AMM tracking liquidity-weighted average price over lifetime
  • Incorporate AMM into autocrat + conditional vault
  • Feature to permissionlessly pause AMM swaps and return positions after verdict
  • Feature to permissionlessly close AMMs and return state rent SOL
  • Loosen time restrictions on proposal creation (currently 50 slots)
  • Auto-revert to fail after X days if proposal instruction fails

Frontend integration:

  • Majority of work by 0xNalloK
  • Testing on temporary subdomain before migration

Team:

  • joebuild (program development)
  • 0xNalloK (frontend)
  • TBD (program review)

Significance

This proposal represents a fundamental architectural change in MetaDAO's futarchy implementation, moving from order-book to AMM-based conditional markets. The decision reveals three core problems with CLOB-based futarchy:

  1. Liquidity problem: Wide uncertainty about future token value discourages limit orders near midpoint
  2. Manipulation susceptibility: 1 META can move midpoint in wide spreads; VWAP vulnerable to wash trading
  3. State rent costs: 135-225 SOL annually at 3-5 proposals/month

The AMM solution uses liquidity-weighted pricing (not TWAP or VWAP) combined with 3-5% fees to make manipulation expensive while incentivizing LP provision. This is the first production implementation of AMM-based futarchy.
