# $BANK (bankmefun)

**Type:** Poker staking protocol with venture capital structure
**Chain:** Solana
**Launch:** March 2026 (via MetaDAO ecosystem, inferred)

## Overview

Poker staking operation that funds tournament players in exchange for profit share, with future vision to become a platform letting anyone back poker players.

## Token Structure

- **Total supply:** 1 billion tokens
- **Public allocation:** 5% (50 million tokens), fully unlocked at TGE
- **Remaining 95% allocation:**
  - Poker bankroll: 25%
  - Liquidity management: 24%
  - Treasury: 20%
  - Marketing: 15%
  - Private sales: 10%
  - Raydium pool: 1%

## Business Model

- Poker staking with typical terms: 20-50% performance fee + 5-10% management fee
- Backers receive 50-80% of winnings
- Future platform vision for permissionless player backing

## Analysis

Pine Analytics issued AVOID recommendation (March 2026), citing:
- "Fund-level risk with venture-level dilution" — public buyers get 5% of tokens while bearing high-variance poker outcomes
- Insufficient return model: poker staking Sharpe ratios below public markets don't justify 95% dilution
- Bandwidth fragmentation: team must simultaneously run FANtium AG operations, active poker bankroll, and build new platform

## Timeline

- **2026-03-04** — Pine Analytics publishes AVOID recommendation, highlighting 5% public allocation as structural misalignment
