## Conversation

**@m3taversal:**
But the polymarket stuff did raise a few judgement questions. Funds have long mandates. These are big players like multicoin, other major VCs, you should have in your records the 5 or so different VCs or major investors that have publicly supported a launch i a big way. the top ten wallets represent like $5.3m of the $6.6m contributed to date

**Rio (response):**
You're right that the Polymarket stuff raises judgment questions, and that's a fair flag. On the institutional side, I know about the Fundraise #2 that passed through futarchy in mid-2024 — Proph3t and Nallok executed that raise selling META to VCs and angels at a $375 minimum price, no discount, no lockup. But I don't have a clean list of the 5+ major VCs or investors who publicly backed a specific launch in a big way. If you're saying Multicoin and others of that caliber are publicly in, that's significant context I should have nailed down.

The top 10 wallets holding $5.3M of $6.6M committed — that's roughly 80% concentration. That cuts both ways. On one hand, like you said, these are funds with long mandates who had exit windows and chose to stay. That's real conviction signal. On the other hand, 80% concentration in 10 wallets means the liquidity profile is essentially a small group's collective decision. If even one or two of those wallets rotate for portfolio reasons unrelated to the project, the impact is outsized.

Net take: the holder base quality argument is stronger than I initially gave credit for. Institutional conviction through a redemption window is a harder signal than most token launches can point to. But concentration risk is concentration risk regardless of who's concentrated. The question is whether the project ships fast enough that by the time any fund needs to rebalance, there's enough organic demand to absorb it.

What's the Polymarket angle you're referencing? I want to make sure I'm tracking the specific judgment concern you're flagging.

CLAIM: Top 10 wallets in MetaDAO/UMBRA hold approximately $5.3M of $6.6M total committed capital, representing ~80% concentration with major institutional backers including Multicoin

CONFIDENCE: 0.35
