# MetaDAO: Migrate META Token
## Summary & Connections
**Token migration: METAC → META.** 1:1000 split, unmintable → mintable, ~20K → ~20M supply, ~$799/token → ~$0.80/token. Protocol liquidity moved from 4% to 0.5% fee pool. New DAO holds mint and update authority. Migration contract + frontend for METAC→META conversion at any time.
**Outcome:** Passed (~2025-08-10).
**Connections:**
- This was FORCED by the treasury exhaustion from [[metadao-otc-trade-theia-3]] — "this sale will exhaust the DAO treasury of META holdings. It is therefore critical that we plan for the eventual token migration." The Theia deal explicitly flagged this would happen.
- Validates [[futarchy-daos-require-mintable-governance-tokens-because-fixed-supply-treasuries-exhaust-without-issuance-authority-forcing-disruptive-token-architecture-migrations]] — MetaDAO lived through exactly this failure mode
- The [[metadao-burn-993-percent-meta]] (Proposal 11) started the path: burn 99.3% → thin treasury → OTC deals deplete remainder → forced migration to mintable token
- "Futarchy is market-driven decision making. To stay true to that principle, it also requires market-driven issuance" — Proph3t's framing makes mintability a philosophical commitment, not just a practical fix
- The 0.5% LP fee (down from 4%) was a temporary measure until FutarchyAMM went live

## Full Proposal Text
### Type
Operations Direct Action
### Authors
Proph3t, Kollan
### Overview
Futarchy is market-driven decision making. To stay true to that principle, it also requires market-driven issuance. A mintable token is essential to fund the organization, incentivize participation, and adapt to changing governance outcomes.
MetaDAO's token, META (METAC), is no longer fit for purpose: it's unmintable, the DAO's treasury is exhausted, and unit bias remains an issue. This proposal introduces a 1:1000 token split, re-establishes mint and update authority, and migrates the DAO to version 0.5 (Squads).
We're migrating METAC to a new token, META, expanding supply from ~20K to ~20M to align with peer futarchies. Protocol-owned liquidity will also shift from a restrictive 4% fee pool to a 0.50% pool, improving efficiency until FutarchyAMM is live.
The new META token will be governed by the new DAO, which holds mint and update authority. A migration contract and frontend will let METAC holders convert at any time.
Work on the migration is already underway and should take up to 1 week. Migration will only proceed if this proposal passes.
### Specifications
| | New (META) | Existing (METAC) |
|---|---|---|
| Ticker | META | META |
| Supply | 20,863,129.001238 | 20,863.129001238 |
| Price | ~$0.79875 | ~$798.75 |
| Protocol Owned Liquidity Fee | 0.5% | 4% |
| Mintable | Yes | No |
| Updateable | Yes | Yes |
| Decimals | 6 | 9 |
| Split Ratio | 1000 | |
### Process
- Transfer instruction for new DAO to take custody of onchain assets (1.2M USDC)
- Transfer remaining USDC to new Squads treasury
- Notify LPs to withdraw from existing pools
- Withdraw protocol-owned liquidity from Meteora
- Migrate liquidity to new 0.5% fee AMM LP
- Launch migration frontend upon passing
- Update token info across CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko

## Relationship to KB
- [[metadao]] — parent entity, token architecture change
- [[metadao-otc-trade-theia-3]] — treasury exhaustion that forced this migration
- [[metadao-burn-993-percent-meta]] — started the path to treasury depletion
- [[futarchy-daos-require-mintable-governance-tokens-because-fixed-supply-treasuries-exhaust-without-issuance-authority-forcing-disruptive-token-architecture-migrations]] — MetaDAO is the canonical case
