Enhancing The Dean's List DAO Economic Model
The proposed model for The Dean's List DAO involves continuing to charge clients in USDC and using the collected USDC to purchase $DEAN tokens. These tokens will be distributed to DAO citizens as payment for their work, replacing USDC payments. The DAO tax will remain in USDC to hedge against $DEAN price fluctuations. This approach creates constant buying pressure on the $DEAN token, leading to an increase in price.
The strategic use of USDC for purchasing $DEAN is expected to enhance the DAO's economic stability and growth.
*Example: DAO Tax @ 20%, Cost of dApp review 2500 $USDC
This way we create volume (3600 $USDC volume) and the price action is always positive. (in our case buys exceeded sells by 20%) and we do not deplete our $DEAN reserves*
- 500 $USDC goes to the treasury
- 2000 $USDC are used for purchasing $DEAN tokens. The DAO buys 560k $DEAN (price goes up by X due to the buy)
- DAO Citizens are paid the 560k $DEAN and (assumption) 80% of the paid people decide to sell their $DEAN to pay their bills.
- _DAO Citizens sell 560k_80% = 448k $DEAN hits the market to be sold (price goes down by 0.8X)*
- The price will always achieve a higher low on each cycle.

Detailed Analysis and FDV Increase Scenario:
Current Metrics:
FDV of The Dean's List DAO: $337,074
Daily Trading Volume: $500
Circulating Supply: 100,000,000 $DEAN
Current $DEAN Price: $0.00337
**Example Scenario:** Assume the DAO reviews 6 dApps in a month, charging 2500 USDC per review.
- **
Total Monthly Revenue:** 15,000 USDC
- **
Daily Revenue Equivalent:** 500 USDC/day
Tax Distribution:
20% (3,000 USDC) goes to the treasury.
80% (12,000 USDC) used to purchase $DEAN tokens.
Daily purchase of $DEAN: 400 USDC/day
Purchase and Distribution:
With 400 USDC daily, the DAO buys approximately 118,694 $DEAN daily.
These tokens are then distributed to DAO citizens as payment.
Assuming 80% of $DEAN tokens (94,955) are sold by citizens daily.
Price Impact Analysis
**Upward Price Pressure:** Introducing 400 USDC daily into the market represents an 80% increase relative to the current daily trading volume of 500 USDC. This significant increase can substantially impact the price. Given an 80% increase in daily buy volume, we estimate a 24% price increase for modeling purposes.
**Downward Price Pressure:** Assuming 80% of the purchased $DEAN tokens are sold by DAO citizens, this sell-off will create downward pressure on the price, estimated at a 15% decrease.
New Price Calculation:
Initial Price: $0.00337
Estimated Price Increase: 24%
New Price: $0.0041768
Final Price after Sell Pressure: $0.00355028
Calculating the FDV:
Initial FDV: $337,074
New FDV: $355,028
FDV Increase:
From $337,074 to $355,028
Percentage Increase: 5.33%
Comparison with TWAP 3% Increase Requirement:
Required FDV Increase for 3%: 337,074×1.03=347,186
Achieved FDV: $355,028
Achieved Percentage Increase: 5.33%
This scenario indicates that the achieved FDV increase of 5.33% significantly exceeds the TWAP 3% increase requirement, demonstrating the potential impact of the proposed model.
Conclusion:
This proposal aims to leverage the strategic use of USDC to purchase $DEAN, creating consistent buy pressure that outweighs the selling pressure from citizens, thereby significantly boosting the FDV TWAP. Members are encouraged to support this proposal to enhance the DAO's economic framework and overall market position.
