# FairScale Liquidation Proposal
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** February 2026
|
||||
**Parent Entity:** [[fairscale]]
|
||||
**Status:** Passed (narrow margin)
|
||||
**Category:** Liquidation
|
||||
**Governance Mechanism:** Futarchy (MetaDAO Combinator Trade)
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
$FAIR token had fallen from 640K FDV at launch (January 23, 2026) to 140K low by mid-February, trading below net asset value. Major token holder submitted liquidation proposal based on revenue misrepresentation allegations.
|
||||
|
||||
## Allegations
|
||||
|
||||
- **TigerPay:** Team claimed ~17K euros/month revenue; no payment arrangement existed
|
||||
- **Streamflow:** Detailed pricing breakdown provided pre-launch; team called it "internal error"
|
||||
- All named partners confirmed integrations but denied payment structures
|
||||
- Projected $10K MRR by February and $20K by March—neither materialized
|
||||
|
||||
## Proposal Terms
|
||||
|
||||
Authorized 100% treasury liquidation with proceeds distributed to token holders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Outcome
|
||||
|
||||
Passed by narrow margin. Liquidation proposer earned ~300% return. Early contributors lost money despite correct outcome (liquidation of fraudulent project).
|
||||
|
||||
## Significance
|
||||
|
||||
First documented case of futarchy manipulation resistance failing at small scale. Revealed implicit put option dynamics where external capital can profitably bid for liquidation without assessing project viability, while believers cannot outbid without buying above NAV.
|
||||
|
||||
## Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
Pine Analytics: "Futarchy cannot easily distinguish between a token below NAV because the market dipped and a token below NAV because of problems with the business."
