Metadao’s push to revolutionize governance via decision -making based on markets obtains a boost from the creator of his belief: Robin Hanson.
The Crypto group hired Hanson – a professor of economics from George Mason who created the notion of futarchy a quarter of a century ago – as a paid advisor. Its addition gives an intellectual advantage and probably optical to the one year old project which commands a crowd of crypto-government wonks of Solana.
Futarchy is based on the premise that the markets are better to determine the optimal results that politicians or even their voters – popular power centers of modern politics. Futarchaic governance systems are more like a prediction market than an urn.
How does it work, at least in the Metadao version, is perhaps better understood by examining the way Metadao addressed the question: “should Metadao hire Robin Hanson as an advisor?” To do this, the project reduced the markets where traders could speculate on the price of meta tokens if Hanson should be hired, and if it was not.

Hanson is hired because Metadao merchants pushed Meta’s price above in the scenario where he was brought on board. Essentially, that his participation would be more beneficial for the project than his absence, and is well worth the meta of 20.9 ($ 24,000), he will be paid over two years.
Hanson is not there for money but rather “glory”. He has designed futarchy because he thinks that governance is fundamentally broken. In his mind, and Metadao, markets where people are financially encouraged to ensure that good decisions achieve better results than political systems
“If we could really have a better governance mechanism, we could change the world,” he said.
The pseudonym co-founder of Metadao, who goes through Proph3T, spoke with Hanson about the conception of their creation for at least a year. Proph3T made the effort to officially hire Hanson before Metadao earlier this week.
His work will be “mainly design and strategy advice on mechanisms”, depending on the proposal page. He can also see Hanson co-author blog articles with Metadao on “new future mechanisms”.
Metadao made his debut during the Solana Hacker House Mtndao from last year in Salt Lake City. It was a success among the Crypto manufacturers who froze the work on their own projects to exchange its decision -making markets. The Metadao governance markets have since been adopted by an increasing number of projects in the Solana ecosystem, including Jito.
Metadao is not the only project focused on the futarchy with which Hanson is committed, but he said that it was the most distant public effort. Cryptographic members are particularly open to the futarchy because he aligned himself with the tinted stories of the innovation he said he told himself during the seizure of the meaning of their wealth.
“When people earn money in the world, they need to tell the reasons why they have made money,” said Hanson, “Crypto people say that it is their overview of the ‘Potential innovation and the change of the world. “
