 (challenge) Areal's failed Futardio launch ($11,654 raised of $50K target, REFUNDING status) demonstrates that futarchy-governed fundraising does not guarantee capital formation success. The mechanism provides credible exit guarantees through market-governed liquidation and governance quality through conditional markets, but market participants still evaluate project fundamentals and team credibility. Futarchy reduces rug risk but does not eliminate market skepticism of unproven business models or early-stage teams.

+(confirm) Rock Game's ICO structure implements performance-gated founder unlocks where "team rewards scale with token performance, ensuring full alignment from launch through maturity." The project pitch positions this as structural enforcement: "Founder unlocks are performance-gated, meaning the team benefits only as the game grows and the token appreciates. The mechanism enforces what most projects only promise." This confirms the mechanism's application in gaming contexts, where historical play-to-earn failures were attributed to "insiders dumped allocations" without accountability. The project explicitly treats performance-gated vesting as a solution to governance failures rather than a nice-to-have alignment feature.

+# Rock Game tests futarchy-governed treasury control and performance-gated founder vesting as structural solutions to play-to-earn governance failures
+
+Rock Game is a Solana-native battle royale that raised $272 against a $10 target through MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO platform, implementing futarchy-based treasury governance and performance-gated founder unlocks as explicit structural responses to play-to-earn's historical credibility crisis.
+
+## The Governance Problem Being Addressed
+
+The project's pitch directly identifies governance—not game design—as the core failure mode of prior play-to-earn projects: "The structural failures of play-to-earn were not primarily game design failures — they were governance and incentive failures. Teams controlled treasuries. Insiders dumped allocations. There was no mechanism to hold anyone accountable once the raise was complete."
+
+This diagnosis frames the ICO structure as a solution architecture rather than marketing rhetoric.
+
+## Structural Mechanisms Implemented
+
+**Treasury governance through futarchy:** All capital allocation decisions are subject to prediction market approval rather than founder discretion. The project states: "Raise proceeds are locked in an on-chain treasury governed by futarchy, where prediction markets — not the founding team — determine how capital is deployed."
+
+**IP ownership through DAO LLC:** The game's code, assets, and infrastructure are assigned to a DAO legal entity, preventing extraction by private parties. This addresses the specific failure mode where founders could redirect or extract IP after raising capital.
+
+**Performance-gated founder unlocks:** Team token rewards scale with token price appreciation. The pitch explicitly states: "Founder unlocks are performance-gated, meaning the team benefits only as the game grows and the token appreciates. The mechanism enforces what most projects only promise."
+
+## Evidence of Application
+
+- Rock Game ICO completed 2026-02-25 to 2026-02-26, raising $272 on futard.io
+- Token: 3n6, mint address: 3n6X4XRJHrkckqX21a5yJdSiGXXZo4MtEvVVsgSAmeta
+- Launch address: 48z3txCwsHekZ7b43mPfoB3bMcZv3GpwX7B27x2PdmTA
+- Project explicitly positions governance mechanisms as solutions to documented play-to-earn failures
+- Single-price fair launch with no insider allocations
+
+## Significance
+
+This launch extends MetaDAO's unruggable ICO infrastructure from DeFi/infrastructure projects into gaming, testing whether futarchy-governed treasuries and performance-based vesting can create sustainable token economies in contexts where previous models collapsed under misaligned incentives. The project's framing suggests the founders view governance structure—not game mechanics—as the primary value proposition for token holders.
+
+## Limitations
+
+This is a single case study. The claim is experimental because:
+- Only one project data point
+- No post-launch performance data yet (ICO just completed)
+- Pitch rhetoric may not reflect actual governance outcomes
+- Long-term sustainability of performance-gated vesting untested
