 P2P.me launch demonstrates MetaDAO ICO platform being used by projects with existing product-market fit (23k+ users, $4M monthly volume peak) rather than just early-stage concepts. The launch reveals tension between 'working product needs token' skepticism and 'community ownership infrastructure' framing, suggesting MetaDAO is attracting projects across maturity spectrum.

+Solana Foundation's committee-based model (per Vibhu, 2026-03-24) deploys 'tens of millions collectively' per year through hackathons, grants, and accelerators but provides no published outcome metrics. This creates a direct comparison gap: MetaDAO's market-based selection operates at smaller scale but with transparent outcome tracking (15x oversubscription, conditional market prices), while the dominant committee model lacks comparable measurement infrastructure despite being orders of magnitude larger.

 PRIMARY CONNECTION: Internet finance is an industry transition from traditional finance where the attractor state replaces intermediaries with programmable coordination and market-tested governance
 WHY ARCHIVED: Best available summary of the committee-based grant model at scale. Creates the comparative context for claims about market-based selection superiority. The absence of outcome data is itself an extractable observation about measurement gaps in committee-based capital allocation.
 EXTRACTION HINT: The extractor should focus on the comparison gap: this thread describes the input side of committee grant-making but provides no output data. The absence of comparable outcome metrics is the most important thing to capture, not the infrastructure details themselves.
