Pricing mechanism
AMM (CPMM)
Settlement
On-chain TWAP comparison of PASS vs FAIL tokens; 3% spread threshold
Strengths
- Only production-deployed futarchy at scale
- Strong intellectual lineage (Robin Hanson)
- META token + treasury alignment
- Token-launch use case proves the mechanism beyond governance
Weaknesses
- Niche audience · futarchy is small vs general PM trading
- Token tied to treasury health
- 3% TWAP threshold introduces end-of-window manipulation surface
- Conditional-token UX hard to onboard
About this mechanism
Markets that drive decisions, not just predict them. The DAO proposes 'should we do X?', PASS and FAIL conditional markets price the future, and the better-expected-outcome wins. Robin Hanson's futarchy.
