# MetaDAO: Hire Advaith Sekharan as Founding Engineer?
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
Proposal to extend an offer to Advaith Sekharan for founding engineer role at MetaDAO with $180,000 annual cash compensation and 237 META tokens (1% of supply excluding DAO holdings). Token allocation follows same structure as co-founder compensation with performance-based unlocks tied to market cap milestones and 4-year vesting period starting November 2024.
|
|
|
|
## Market Data
|
|
- **Outcome:** Passed
|
|
- **Proposer:** Nallok, Proph3t
|
|
- **Proposal Date:** 2024-10-22
|
|
- **Resolution Date:** 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:** 4 years starting November 2024, no unlocks before November 2028
|
|
- **Unlocks:** Linear based on market cap ($5B = 100% unlock, $500M = 10% unlock)
|
|
- **Clawback:** Full clawback authority until July 2025 (8 months), then vests into smart contract
|
|
- **Market Cap Definition:** $1B = $42,198 per META
|
|
|
|
## Significance
|
|
First founding engineer hire following MetaDAO's Fundraise #2 strategy to build core team in San Francisco. Compensation structure mirrors co-founder terms, establishing precedent for performance-based token unlocks tied to protocol value rather than time-based vesting. The 4-year cliff before any token unlocks signals long-term commitment requirements for core team members.
