# MetaDAO: Hire Robin Hanson as Advisor
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
Proposal to hire Robin Hanson — the economist who originally proposed futarchy in 2000 — as an advisor. Scope: mechanism design and strategy advice, co-authoring blog posts and whitepapers on new futarchic mechanisms (specifically mentioning a "shared liquidity AMM" design). Compensation: 0.1% of supply (20.9 META) vested over 2 years. Early termination allowed by Robin, MetaDAO, or Proph3t and Kollan unanimously.
|
|
|
|
## Market Data
|
|
- **Outcome:** Passed (2025-02-13)
|
|
- **Autocrat version:** 0.3
|
|
- **Key participants:** Proph3t (proposer), Robin Hanson (advisor)
|
|
|
|
## Significance
|
|
The futarchy mechanism's inventor becoming an advisor to its most advanced implementation creates a theory-practice feedback loop. Hanson's insights have already influenced concrete product design — the proposal mentions a "shared liquidity AMM" where META/USDC liquidity can be used in both pMETA/pUSDC and fMETA/fUSDC conditional markets, addressing a key capital inefficiency problem.
|
|
|
|
The compensation terms (0.1% of supply) are modest relative to founder allocations (10% each for Proph3t and Nallok), appropriate for an advisory role. The 2-year vest with early termination clause is standard advisory structure — another example of futarchy-governed DAOs adopting traditional corporate governance patterns for operational decisions.
|
|
|
|
This is also the first time a major academic figure (GMU economics professor, >10,000 citations) has been hired through futarchic governance, lending institutional credibility to the mechanism.
