+# P2P.me MetaDAO ICO
+
+## Decision Summary
+
+P2P.me is conducting an ICO on MetaDAO platform to raise $6M at ~$15.5M fully diluted valuation, selling 10M tokens at $0.60 each with 50% of total supply liquid at launch.
+
+## Key Terms
+
+- **Raise Target:** $6M
+- **FDV:** $15.5M
+- **Token Price:** $0.60
+- **Tokens Sold:** 10M
+- **Total Supply:** 25.8M
+- **Liquid at Launch:** 50%
+- **Team Unlock:** Performance-based, no benefit below 2x ICO price
+- **Scheduled Date:** March 26, 2026
+
+## Governance Structure
+
+Treasury controlled by token holders through futarchy-based governance. Team cannot unilaterally spend raised capital, addressing rug-pull risk but introducing governance uncertainty.
+
+## Pine Analytics Assessment (March 15, 2026)
+
+### 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 (25 staff). Approximately 34 months of runway with current revenue contributions.
+
+### Bull Case
+
+- B2B SDK deployment potential
+- Circles of Trust merchant onboarding model
+- Performance-based team unlock aligns incentives
+- Futarchy governance prevents rug-pull risk
+
+## Market Context
+
+This is the first major MetaDAO ICO following Hurupay's failure. Hurupay had stronger metrics ($7.2M monthly volume, $500K revenue) and failed. P2P.me has weaker metrics ($500K annualized revenue, plateaued growth) and a stretched valuation.
+
+## Test Case Significance
+
+The outcome will test whether:
+1. MetaDAO's futarchy filter correctly prices stretched valuations
+2. Smaller participants perform quality due diligence or follow community optimism
+3. The 50% liquid float creates below-NAV vulnerability (FairScale playbook)
+4. Two consecutive ICO failures indicate systematic filtering improvement
+
+## Current Metrics (March 2026)
+
+- **Users:** 23,000+ registered
+- **Volume:** $3.95M monthly peak (February 2026)
+- **Revenue:** ~$500K annualized
+- **Gross Profit:** ~$82K
+- **Geography:** 78% India, 15% Brazil
+
+## Outcome
+
+*Pending - ICO scheduled for March 26, 2026*
