MetaDAO: Increase META Liquidity via a Dutch Auction

Summary

Proposal to address META's low liquidity and high volatility by selling 1,000 META through a manual Dutch auction executed on OpenBook, then pairing the acquired USDC with META to provide liquidity on Meteora's fee pools. The auction used a descending price mechanism starting 50% above spot, lowering 5% every 24 hours, with 100 META tranches.

Market Data

  • Proposal Account: Dn638yPirR3e2UNNECpLNJApDhxsjhJTAv9uEd9LBVVT
  • Proposal Number: 10
  • Autocrat Version: 0.1
  • Created: 2024-02-26
  • Completed: 2024-03-02

Mechanism Design

  • Manual Dutch auction via OpenBook
  • 100 META tranches, starting 50% above spot price
  • Price reduction: 5% every 24 hours if >6% above spot
  • New asks placed 10% above spot when filled
  • 3/5 multisig execution (LMRVapqnn1LEwKaD8PzYEs4i37whTgeVS41qKqyn1wi)
  • Final liquidity moved to Meteora 1% fee pool

Compensation Structure

Sealed-bid auction for multisig positions:

  • Ben H: 0 META
  • Nico: 0 META
  • joebuild: 0.2 META
  • Dodecahedr0x: 0.25 META
  • Proposal creator (Durden): 5 META
  • Total: 5.45 META

Significance

Demonstrates futarchy-governed treasury management with minimal governance overhead. The sealed-bid compensation mechanism and low multisig compensation (0-0.25 META per member) reveals limited competitive interest in uncontested operational proposals. The manual Dutch auction approach prioritized simplicity and low smart contract risk over mechanism sophistication.
