# Solomon: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
Solomon launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio targeting $2M minimum with an ideal range of $5-8M. The raise attracted $102.9M in commitments (51.5x oversubscription) and closed at $8M final raise after 4 days. The structure allocated 20% of gross to MetaDAO for seeding SOLO token liquidity and 80% to Solomon DAO treasury.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed (closed at target)
- **Launch date:** 2025-11-14
- **Close date:** 2025-11-18
- **Raise target:** $2M minimum, $5-8M ideal
- **Total committed:** $102.9M
- **Final raise:** $8M
- **Oversubscription:** 51.5x
## Product Context
Solomon builds USDv, a composable stablecoin that maintains $1 peg without rebasing while earning yield. The system offers two paths: permissionless staking (USDv → sUSDv for yield accrual) and permissioned Yield-as-a-Service for protocols requiring par-value dollars. Backend yield generation uses automated basis trading (long spot, short perp) and T-bills, with Ceffu custody and insurance coverage.
The project ran closed beta for one year with seven figures TVL and handled multiple market shocks including the October 10th Binance dislocation without incidents.
## 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
## Significance
This represents one of the largest futarchy-governed fundraises on the Futardio platform, demonstrating market appetite for yield-bearing stablecoin infrastructure. The 51.5x oversubscription with disciplined cap at $8M (rather than taking full $102.9M committed) shows governance restraint prioritizing sustainable deployment over maximum capital extraction.

# Solomon: Futardio Launch
## Summary
Solomon launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio seeking $2M to bootstrap their composable stablecoin system (USDv). The raise was massively oversubscribed at 51.5x with $102.9M in commitments, ultimately closing at $8M final raise. The structure allocated 20% of gross to MetaDAO for token liquidity seeding and 80% to Solomon DAO treasury.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed (closed at $8M)
- **Funding Target:** $2M minimum, $5-8M ideal
- **Total Committed:** $102.9M
- **Final Raise:** $8M
- **Oversubscription:** 51.5x
- **Token:** SOLO (`SoLo9oxzLDpcq1dpqAgMwgce5WqkRDtNXK7EPnbmeta`)
- **Platform:** Futardio v0.6
- **Launch Date:** 2025-11-14
- **Close Date:** 2025-11-18
## Product Context
Solomon builds USDv, a composable dollar stablecoin that maintains $1 peg without rebasing, enabling yield generation through:
- **USDv:** Base composable dollar for integrations (DEXs, perps, money markets)
- **sUSDv:** Staking variant that accrues yield from basis trading (long spot, short perp) and T-bills
- **YaaS (Yield-as-a-Service):** Permissioned yield stream for treasuries/protocols that can't stake
The system addresses $150B+ of idle stablecoin capital across chains that earns no yield due to composability constraints of existing yield-bearing stablecoins.
## Capital Deployment Plan
1. Put treasury to work immediately (~16% APR generation)
2. Fund liquidity mining to accelerate TVL growth
3. Seed deeper USDv/USDC liquidity
4. Reduce custody and exchange fees through scale
## Operational Track Record
- Ran closed beta for one year with seven-figure TVL
- Handled multiple market shocks including October 10th Binance price dislocation with zero incidents
- Custody segregated with Ceffu (insurance coverage)
- Solana programs audited, admin operations via Squads multisig
## Significance
This launch demonstrates:
1. **Oversubscription management:** Futardio handled 51.5x oversubscription, taking $8M vs $2M minimum while leaving "real unmet demand after the raise closes"
2. **Stablecoin infrastructure fundraising:** First major stablecoin protocol to raise via futarchy-governed ICO
3. **Market validation:** $102.9M in commitments signals strong market demand for composable yield-bearing stablecoins

## 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.
