 Umbra ICO closed at $154.9M commitments with 206x oversubscription ($3M cap vs $154.9M committed) using MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO structure where team treasury AND IP are locked under DAO LLC from day one with monthly budget controlled by futarchy governance ($34K/month). The massive oversubscription (52x above cap) demonstrates genuine demand signal for futarchy-governed treasury structure specifically, not just the protocol. 10,518 participants committed capital to a structure that eliminates team extraction risk through market-enforced budget control.

+Solomon Labs chose to cap their raise at $8M despite $102.9M in commitments (12.8x above cap), voluntarily returning ~92% of committed funds. This is the opposite of legacy ICO behavior where teams maximized capital extraction. Combined with Umbra's similar pattern ($3M cap vs $154.9M demand), this suggests futarchy governance discipline internalizes a raise-what-you-need norm.
