# MetaDAO: Migrate Autocrat Program to v0.1?
## Summary & Connections
**Proposal 1 — first Autocrat upgrade.** Configurable proposal slot duration (default 3 days for quicker feedback). Migrated 990,000 META + 10,025 USDC + 5.5 SOL to new program. Proph3t explicitly acknowledged counterparty risk: unable to use solana-verifiable-build, so participants must trust he didn't introduce a backdoor.
**Outcome:** Passed (2023-12-13).
**Connections:**
- The "trust me" counterparty risk disclosure is remarkably honest for a treasury migration. ~$990K+ in assets moved on trust in the developer. This is the kind of early-stage trade-off that [[metadao-autocrat-migration-accepted-counterparty-risk-from-unverifiable-builds-prioritizing-iteration-speed-over-security-guarantees]] documents.
- 3-day default proposal duration became the standard — later formalized in v0.2 and v0.3. The [[MetaDAOs Autocrat program implements futarchy through conditional token markets where proposals create parallel pass and fail universes settled by time-weighted average price over a three-day window]] claim originates from this configuration.
- "I didn't change that much of autocrat" — the incremental upgrade approach, as opposed to rewrites, became the pattern for all subsequent migrations.

## Full Proposal Text
### Overview
I've made some improvements to the autocrat program. Most importantly, I've made the slots per proposal configurable, and changed its default to 3 days to allow for quicker feedback loops.
This proposal migrates the 990,000 META, 10,025 USDC, and 5.5 SOL from the treasury owned by the first program to the treasury owned by the second program.
### Key risks
**Smart contract risk:** There is a risk that the new program contains an important bug that the first one didn't. I consider this risk small given that I didn't change that much of autocrat.
**Counter-party risk:** Unfortunately, for reasons I can't get into, I was unable to build this new program with solana-verifiable-build. You'd be placing trust in me that I didn't introduce a backdoor, not on the GitHub repo, that allows me to steal the funds. For future versions, I should always be able to use verifiable builds.
