+# P2P.me ICO (March 2026)
+
+## Decision
+
+P2P.me is conducting an ICO on MetaDAO's futarchy platform targeting $6M raise at approximately $15.5M fully diluted valuation.
+
+## Structure
+
+- **Price**: $0.60/token
+- **Tokens sold**: 10M
+- **Total supply**: 25.8M
+- **Liquid at launch**: 50%
+- **Team unlock**: Performance-based, no benefit below 2x ICO price
+- **Target raise**: $6M
+- **FDV**: ~$15.5M
+
+## Pine Analytics Assessment
+
+### Primary Concerns
+
+1. **Valuation mismatch**: 182x multiple on current gross profit ($82K). Monthly revenue would need to scale to ~$875K just to cover operating costs from treasury contributions.
+
+2. **Growth stagnation**: Active users plateaued mid-2025. Historical 27% MoM volume growth came from market conditions, not organic acquisition. Geographic expansion to 20+ countries risks spreading thin before saturating existing 80%-concentrated markets.
+
+3. **Runway reality**: $175K monthly burn with approximately 34 months of runway including current revenue contributions.
+
+### Bull Case
+
+- B2B SDK deployment potential
+- Circles of Trust merchant onboarding model for geographic expansion
+- Performance-based team unlock aligns incentives (team has no upside below 2x ICO price)
+- On-chain P2P with futarchy governance prevents rug-pull risk
+
+## Market Context
+
+This ICO follows Hurupay's failure despite stronger metrics ($7.2M monthly volume vs P2P.me's $3.95M peak). The outcome will test whether MetaDAO's futarchy filter correctly identifies overvalued raises or whether community optimism overrides fundamental analysis.
+
+The 50% liquid at launch creates immediate below-NAV vulnerability if market disappoints, enabling the FairScale implicit put option playbook.
+
+## Status
+
+Scheduled for March 26, 2026. Outcome pending.
