Ranger Finance's ICO added ~$9.1M to this total, demonstrating continued momentum in the platform. The platform continues to operate with its 4-day sale period model where participants deposit USDC and everyone pays the same price, with no private rounds or auctioned allocations. However, the article notes MetaDAO was 'eyeing a reset' of its platform model, suggesting potential strategic changes despite the growth in AUF. This reset may indicate internal recognition of platform limitations or concerns about sustainability and pro-rata model efficiency that public-facing metrics do not capture. + --- Relevant Notes: diff --git a/entities/internet-finance/metadao.md b/entities/internet-finance/metadao.md index 9f0ae5600..eed69989c 100644 --- a/entities/internet-finance/metadao.md +++ b/entities/internet-finance/metadao.md @@ -54,6 +54,7 @@ The futarchy governance protocol on Solana.
