MetaDAO: Develop a Saber Vote Market?

Summary

Proposal 2 requested MetaDAO build a vote market platform for Saber protocol, funded by $150,000 from ecosystem partners (UXD, BlazeStake, LP Finance, Saber). The platform would enable veSBR holders to earn yield by selling votes while projects could efficiently purchase liquidity. MetaDAO would own majority stake and earn 5-15% take rate on vote trade volume. This represented MetaDAO's pivot from pure governance platform to revenue-generating infrastructure provider.

Significance

This proposal marked MetaDAO's strategic evolution from governance-only platform to infrastructure-as-a-service provider. By building revenue-generating products for partner protocols, MetaDAO demonstrated futarchy could govern not just internal decisions but external product development. The consortium funding model showed multi-stakeholder coordination around futarchy infrastructure. The financial projections based on Curve/Votium/Hidden Hand comparables represented first attempt to model vote market economics in Solana DeFi context.

Context

Proposal referenced MetaDAO's original Proposal 0 (Marinade vote market) which passed but pivoted when Marinade developed internal solution. Saber partnership emerged when c2yptic approached MetaDAO to build what Saber had planned internally, showing protocol preference for futarchy-governed infrastructure over internal development.
