MetaDAO: Hire Advaith Sekharan as Founding Engineer?

Summary

Proposal to hire Advaith Sekharan as MetaDAO's founding engineer with $180,000 annual salary and 237 META tokens (1% of supply excluding DAO holdings). Compensation mirrors co-founder structure with performance-based vesting tied to market cap milestones, 4-year cliff starting November 2028, and 8-month clawback period. Retroactive salary begins October 16, 2024.

Market Data

  • Outcome: Passed
  • Proposer: Nallok, Proph3t
  • Proposal Account: B82Dw1W6cfngH7BRukAyKXvXzP4T2cDsxwKYfxCftoC2
  • Proposal Number: 7
  • Completed: 2024-10-26

Compensation Structure

  • Cash: $180,000/year (retroactive to October 16, 2024)
  • Tokens: 237 META (1% of 23,705.7 supply including co-founder allocations)
  • Vesting Start: November 2024
  • Unlock Schedule: Linear from $500M market cap (10% unlock) to $5B market cap (100% unlock)
  • Cliff: No tokens unlock before November 2028 regardless of milestones
  • Clawback: DAO can reclaim all tokens until July 2025 (8 months)
  • Market Cap Basis: $1B = $42,198 per META

Significance

This hiring decision demonstrates MetaDAO's execution on its San Francisco core team buildout strategy from Fundraise #2. The compensation structure is notable for mirroring co-founder terms rather than standard employee equity, signaling founding-level commitment expectations. The 4-year cliff with market-cap-based unlocks creates extreme long-term alignment but also substantial risk for the hire.
