# MetaDAO

> Markets for decision-making

The Meta DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization focused on building and funding metaverse projects.

MetaDAO is the first futarchy-governed DAO, launched in November 2023 with a $10k treasury. It uses prediction markets to determine policy decisions. The DAO aims to be a market-governed organization that makes decisions based on forecasts of their consequences.

## Assets

- [Metadao (META)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/MetaDAO): META is the governance token of MetaDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization operating on Solana. It is used to participate in futarchy-based governance, where policy decisions are determined by prediction markets rather than traditional voting. The DAO allows traders to speculate on whether proposals will increase the token's value, and proposals automatically pass if the market forecasts a positive outcome, aligning governance decisions with economic incentives.
