MetaDAO: Migrate Autocrat Program to v0.2

Summary

Technical upgrade from Autocrat v0.1 to v0.2. Three new features: (1) reclaimable rent — recover ~4 SOL used to create proposal markets, lowering proposal creation friction; (2) conditional token merging — combine 1 pTOKEN + 1 fTOKEN back into 1 TOKEN, improving liquidity during multiple active proposals; (3) conditional token metadata — tokens show names and logos in wallets instead of raw mint addresses. Config changes: pass threshold lowered from 5% to 3%, default TWAP value set to $100, TWAP updates in $5 increments (enhancing manipulation resistance), minimum META lot size reduced from 1 to 0.1 META.

Market Data

  • Outcome: Passed (2024-04-03)
  • Autocrat version: 0.1 (last proposal on v0.1)
  • Key participants: HenryE (author), Proph3t (author), OtterSec (program verification)

Significance

First major Autocrat upgrade approved through futarchy itself — MetaDAO used its own governance mechanism to upgrade its governance mechanism. The changes directly addressed friction points: high proposal creation costs (~4 SOL), liquidity fragmentation across proposals, and poor UX for conditional tokens.

The pass threshold reduction from 5% to 3% is particularly noteworthy — it lowered the bar for proposals to pass, reflecting the team's belief that the original threshold was too conservative. The TWAP manipulation resistance improvements ($5 increments instead of 1%) show iterative mechanism refinement based on live experience.
