+## Launch Details
+- Project: donuts
+- Description: DonutDAO is a community-owned artisanal donut stand raising startup capital through a MetaDAO-powered ICO. 
+- Funding target: $500,000.00
+- Total committed: N/A
+- Status: Refunding
+- Launch date: 2026-02-25
+- URL: https://www.futard.io/launch/DYKhWPc3fQTsMEg6xpKttiZFMRzr8EjkQzFPxQyVRUyt

+## Team / Description
+
+DonutDAO is a playful experiment in applying futarchy and on-chain governance to a real-world small business.
+We are launching a neighborhood gourmet donut stand funded entirely through a token sale on MetaDAO. The goal is to test whether prediction-market-driven governance can outperform traditional founder-led decision-making — even at the scale of a physical street food business.
+How It Works
+We raise startup capital via an ICO on MetaDAO.
+Treasury funds are allocated toward:
+Equipment and kitchen setup
+Ingredient sourcing
+Location rental
+Branding and marketing
+Token holders govern key business decisions through proposal markets:
+New flavor launches
+Seasonal menu changes
+Hiring decisions
+Expansion to new locations
+Treasury deployment
+Dividend policy
+Proposal outcomes are determined using futarchy-style governance, aligning decisions with measurable success metrics (e.g., revenue growth, profit margins, or treasury NAV).
+Token Utility
+The DONUT token provides:
+Governance rights
+Exposure to treasury performance
+Potential revenue-sharing distributions
+Influence over brand direction
+Vision
+DonutDAO is a test case for:
+Real-world asset governance via crypto
+Micro-cap ICO funding models
+Community-owned brick-and-mortar businesses
+The viability of futarchy beyond digital-native protocols
+If it works for donuts, it can work for coffee shops, food trucks, pop-ups — or any capital-light startup.
