@linfluence: i appreciate your + metadao's hard work on the current iteration. you and robin hanson are correct on the mechanics: single actor can swing the outcome if they are willing to commit meaningful capital @0xSrMessi: All good with all this projects trying to imitate MetaDAO

Sorry but you don't have Robin Hanson @DmitriFedotov: 6/8 — My point? You don't need "insider access" or alpha groups. You just need to read the original source material (in my case, Robin Hanson's papers and the MetaDAO code) and connect the dots. A lit @wyatt_165: I’ve noticed a lot of confusion on CT around #Futarchy and #MetaDAO. After reading the original articles and diving into Robin Hanson’s ideas plus watching every @metaproph3t talk on @MetaDAOProject

@toto_crypto00: 看到MetaDAO @MetaDAOProject https://t.co/VLHM2bqlXf 真是让我的微观经济学基因动了，我认为blockchain的存在就是为经济学各种理论模型提供落地和验证的可能性，而MetaDAO则是将经济学教授Robin Hanson @robinhanson最早在2000年提出的Futarchy 机制，变成web3中DAO的激励治理实验。并且MetaDAO可以说 @8bitpenis: Bro, futarchy is literally "Vote on Values, Bet On Beliefs". So what you're talking about is literally futarchy in the way Robin Hanson envisioned it. Rn MetaDAO only has "Bet on Beliefs", but no "Vot @Alderwerelt: 6/10 MetaDAO proposed funding futarchy research at George Mason Uni with Robin Hanson.

Futarchy = markets decide policy. Novel for DAOs—could refine governance for Solana projects, making votes more @StrategicHash: @chainyoda @ethereum @eigencloud > Thats why devs created Aave, Gnosis, Aragon, Polymarket and futarchy

Futarchy was created by Robin Hanson (a professor) and first implemented at scale my Metadao @SingularDAO: MetaDAO’s futarchy on Solana swaps one-token-one-vote for prediction markets tying token value to DAO assets. Umbra’s ICO crushed $750K; 4–5 more by Nov could 5x adoption. Robin Hanson’s brainchild (A @position_xbt: MetaDAO just dropped a new tradable proposal to fund six months of futarchy research at George Mason University. Led by economist Robin Hanson, this engagement aims to rigorously study market-based go

Key Facts

• Robin Hanson originally proposed futarchy in 2000
• MetaDAO has proposed funding futarchy research at George Mason University with Robin Hanson
• The research engagement would be for six months
• Multiple X users reference reading Robin Hanson's original papers to understand MetaDAO's implementation
• @8bitpenis notes that MetaDAO currently only implements 'Bet on Beliefs' but not 'Vote on Values' from Hanson's original futarchy design
