In this episode, we’re joined by Proph3t from MetaDAO to discuss the concept of futarchy! We dive into what it is, addressing manipulation concerns, and how to attract liquidity. We also discuss the line between prediction markets and futarchy, historical criticism of futarchy, and where it intersects with crypto. Finally, we end the episode by unpacking MetaDAOs mission and where they are headed.
