Futarchy with Bonding Curve Tokens

[chris.whinfrey]

@MicahZoltu

While the bonding curve token thing may be an interesting solution to some set of problems, it doesn’t solve the hard part of Futarchy which is defining governance questions that have clear metrics of success and failure that can be reported on/agreed on after the fact even in the face of many confounding variables.

Maybe this deserves a new post to discuss confounding variables in futarchy decisions? We started talking about it here but didn’t get very far. Possible Futarchy Setups

@simondlr

The immediate action that is possible is simply to sell into the underlying curve, correct? eg Y-ABC to Y-ETH or N-ABC to N-ETH? There’s no possibility get NEW liquidity into the pools whilst it is being traded/decided, correct? So the curves would effectively have a ceiling price until it’s closed?

Someone could actually buy in as well if they have some ETH by splitting it into Y-ETH and N-ETH and buying in to one or both of the curves. The Y-ETH or N-ETH for the winning decision’s reserve pool will then be turned back into ETH and become the reserve pool of the original ETH/ABC curve.
