 ## Summary
 
-Solomon launched its futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio on November 14, 2025, targeting $2M minimum with an ideal range of $5-8M. The raise closed four days later at $8M final allocation despite $102.9M in total commitments, representing 51.5x oversubscription. The structure allocated 20% of gross to MetaDAO for SOLO token liquidity seeding and 80% of net proceeds to Solomon DAO treasury.
+Solomon launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio targeting $2M minimum with ideal range of $5-8M. The raise attracted $102.9M in commitments (51.5x oversubscription) and closed at $8M, demonstrating market-governed capital calibration where the protocol adjusted final raise based on demonstrated demand rather than accepting all committed capital.
 
 ## Market Data
 
-- **Outcome:** Passed (closed at maximum target)
-- **Launch date:** 2025-11-14
-- **Close date:** 2025-11-18
-- **Raise target:** $2M minimum, $5-8M ideal
-- **Final raise:** $8M
-- **Total committed:** $102.9M
-- **Oversubscription:** 51.5x
-
-## Product Context
-
-Solomon builds USDv, a non-rebasing yield-bearing stablecoin on Solana. The product maintains $1 peg through two-way market making while generating yield via basis trading (long spot, short perp) and T-bills. Users can stake USDv for sUSDv to earn yield, or access permissioned Yield-as-a-Service that delivers yield directly to USDv holdings.
-
-The project ran closed beta for one year with seven-figure TVL before this public raise, handling market stress events including the October 10th Binance price dislocation without incidents.
-
-## Capital Deployment Plan
-
-The $8M raise targets four uses:
-1. Deploy treasury capital immediately (targeting ~16% APR)
-2. Fund liquidity mining to accelerate TVL growth
-3. Seed deeper USDv/USDC liquidity pools
-4. Reduce custody and exchange venue fees through volume commitments
+- **Outcome:** Passed — closed at $8M (4x minimum target)
+- **Initial Target:** $2M minimum
+- **Total Committed:** $102.9M
+- **Final Raise:** $8M
+- **Oversubscription Ratio:** 51.5x
+- **Token Allocation:** 20% to MetaDAO for liquidity seeding, 80% to Solomon DAO treasury
 
 ## Significance
 
-This represents one of the larger futarchy-governed fundraises on the Futardio platform, demonstrating market appetite for yield-bearing stablecoin infrastructure. The 51.5x oversubscription with disciplined final allocation (capping at stated ideal range rather than maximizing raise) shows the platform's ability to handle extreme demand while maintaining governance integrity.
+This raise demonstrates futarchy-governed capital formation at scale. Rather than accepting all $102.9M in commitments, the protocol closed at $8M — the top of the stated ideal range. This shows market-governed capital calibration in practice: the team specified they wanted "real unmet demand after the raise closes" and the mechanism enforced that constraint.
 
-The raise structure—splitting proceeds between MetaDAO liquidity provision and project treasury—implements the standard Futardio model where the platform captures value through token liquidity rather than direct fees.
+The 51.5x oversubscription ratio provides evidence of demand discovery, while the 4x adjustment from committed to final raise shows the protocol's ability to prevent over-capitalization. This is the capital formation equivalent of price discovery — finding the efficient funding level through market mechanisms rather than arbitrary caps or first-come-first-served allocation.
+
+## Product Context
+
+Solomon is building USDv, a composable dollar stablecoin that maintains $1 peg without rebasing while earning yield. The product addresses the $150B+ of idle stablecoin capital across DeFi by offering:
+
+- **USDv:** Non-rebasing dollar for composability across DEXs, perps, and money markets
+- **sUSDv:** Staked version that accrues yield from basis trading (long spot, short perp) and T-bills
+- **Yield-as-a-Service (YaaS):** Permissioned yield delivery directly to USDv for institutions that cannot stake
+
+The system ran in closed beta for one year with seven figures TVL and handled multiple market shocks including the October 10th Binance price dislocation with zero incidents. Custody is segregated with Ceffu (insured), and Solana programs are audited with admin operations secured via Squads multisig.
+
+## Use of Capital
+
+The $8M raise targets four deployment areas:
+1. Put treasury to work immediately (targeting ~16% APR)
+2. Fund liquidity mining to accelerate TVL growth
+3. Seed deeper USDv/USDC liquidity
+4. Reduce fees and improve terms with custody providers and exchanges

 ## Competitive Position
 Solomon is not primarily a competitive entity — it's an existence proof. It demonstrates that futarchy-governed organizations can raise capital, manage treasuries, and create operational governance structures. The key question is whether the futarchy layer adds genuine value beyond what a normal startup with transparent treasury management would achieve.
