Futarchy is an Ethereum-based decentralized governance platform that uses decision markets to make binding or advisory governance decisions aimed at maximizing shareholder value. Futarchy's Twitter Score is 47 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #19,597 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Futarchy was co-founded by Kelvin A. Santos and Robin Hanson, with Hanson serving as Chief Scientific Officer and guiding the project's mechanism design. The platform, operating under the name Futarchy.fi, describes itself as the first futarchy on Ethereum. Its core mechanism creates conditional markets representing an asset's price under two scenarios, whether a proposal passes or fails, with the price difference serving as an estimate of the proposal's expected impact on value.
Futarchy is designed to begin as an advisory governance tool and potentially evolve into a self-enforcing decision-making system. The project builds on GnosisDAO's Conditional Token Framework, as well as Seer, Manifold, Metaculus, and MetaDAO's earlier onchain futarchy implementation. GnosisDAO approved a nine-month pilot to place Futarchy advisory prediction markets on official governance proposals, and in March 2026 Futarchy created a market estimating the effect of GIP-149 on GNO's price.
Futarchy has also extended its reach to Kleros, where a delegate introduced in February 2026 follows Futarchy market signals and votes according to their indicated effect on the PNK token price. Initial delegate vote execution was described as manual through a 2-of-3 multisig controlled by members of the Futarchy, Kleros, and Snapshot teams, with full automation stated as the long-term goal. Futarchy has 3,668 followers as of August 2026 and has published 119 posts, remaining active into 2026 with updates on live GnosisDAO proposal markets. Futarchy has been mentioned by 18 accounts a total of 54 times.
