Claims / C-CC5RRAM0EW

Conjecture

In a market-run treasury, an opposed holder exits only if that outcome passes, the sale fills and the price is fair; it isn't guaranteed.

The claim

In a market-governed treasury, a holder who opposes a proposal can exit at the opposing conditional market's price if and only if that outcome passes and their conditional sale is filled, so the exit is outcome-specific and contingent on a funded counterparty in that market and on a settlement price the holder accepts as fair; it is not guaranteed whenever an opposed proposal passes.

    But what if Alice has no capital and the asset is some peculiarity that nobody else would care to trade? This is a pathological case that strays into speculative fiction, but in practice it would still be an audacious bet for Bob to make.

    However it is not trivial to calculate a fair settlement price. The current TWAP implementation used by the MetaDAO is a work in progress. Its current form demands a lot of active participation and monitoring from traders.
