MetaDAO is a governance and fundraising platform on Solana that runs on futarchy, decisions made by markets, not votes.
Instead of voting, META holders trade in decision markets. These markets rise if traders think a proposal will increase the token’s value, and fall if they believe it will harm it. A proposal passes when the market signals confidence and fails when it doesn’t.
The logic is simple: good decisions lift the token’s price; bad ones drag it down.
Economist Robin Hanson framed it as “vote on values, bet on beliefs.” MetaDAO puts that idea onchain, using its own token price as the measure of success and making futarchy practical for real-world governance.
