MetaDAO launches v3 protocol with futarchy governance for DeFi treasuries
MetaDAO v3 introduces futarchy-based governance, letting token holders bet on outcomes rather than vote on proposals.
MetaDAO has launched its v3 protocol upgrade, introducing a futarchy-based governance model that replaces traditional token voting with prediction market-based decision mechanisms.
Under the futarchy model, governance proposals are evaluated through conditional prediction markets. Token holders trade on conditional outcomes rather than voting yes or no.
Several DeFi protocols with combined TVL exceeding $2B have signaled intent to adopt the MetaDAO governance framework, according to the company announcement.
