Overview

MetaDAO builds governance infrastructure on Solana using futarchy, a market-based decision process. Its main product, Futarchy as a Service, lets DAOs create and trade prediction-market-style outcome markets for governance proposals, instead of traditional voting. Proposals generate two conditional markets (pass vs fail); participants trade on outcomes and the market’s likelihood assessment guides decisions. The platform aims to reduce voter apathy and misaligned incentives by leveraging collective intelligence, with META as the native token used to create proposals, trade in governance markets, and distribute fees. Compared with token-based DAOs, MetaDAO focuses on market-driven governance and scalable, on-chain decision markets, with initial deployments for entities like Jito and Sanctum. The goal is to provide a permissionless, market-based governance layer for Web3 organizations while expanding the use of prediction markets in decentralized governance.
