rio: rewrite metadao + futardio entities, add decision markets map

- What: Complete rewrite of metadao.md (capital formation as primary narrative,
  10 curated launches in correct order, expanded competitive position across
  capital formation tiers). Rewrote futardio.md (permissionless-only, brand
  separation story, FUTARDIO + SUPER as successful raises, removed curated
  launches that belong on metadao entity). New metadao-decision-markets.md map
  indexing all 37 governance decisions with 7 key takeaways.
- Why: Entity had wrong framing (governance protocol vs capital formation
  platform), wrong launch table (missing mtnCapital and OMFG, wrong tickers),
  conflated curated and permissionless launches, and competitors listed only
  governance tools instead of capital formation platforms.
- Supersedes: rio/metadao-entity-rewrite branch (wrong framing, to be closed)

+Internet technical governance (IETF) succeeded through a sixth enabling condition not present in aviation: network effects as self-enforcing coordination mechanism. TCP/IP adoption was commercially mandatory because non-adoption meant exclusion from the network. This is stronger than aviation's visible harm trigger because it doesn't require a disaster to activate. However, this condition is also absent for AI governance - safety compliance imposes costs without commercial advantage and doesn't create network exclusion for non-compliant systems.

Condition 2 (commercial network effects) was ABSENT and Condition 3 (low competitive stakes) was ABSENT—national security stakes were extremely high. Timeline of 23 years with 2.5 conditions present fits the framework's prediction that fewer conditions → longer coordination time.

+# Internet social governance failed because harms are abstract and non-attributable, commercial stakes were peak at governance attempt, and sovereignty conflicts prevent consensus
+
+Internet social/political governance has largely failed across multiple dimensions, revealing structural barriers that map directly to AI governance challenges: (1) Abstract, non-attributable harms - Internet social harms (filter bubbles, algorithmic radicalization, data misuse, disinformation) are statistical, diffuse, and difficult to attribute to specific decisions. They don't create the single visible disaster that triggers legislative action. Cambridge Analytica was a near-miss triggering event that produced GDPR (EU only) but not global governance, possibly because data misuse is less emotionally resonant than child deaths from unsafe drugs. (2) High competitive stakes when governance was attempted - When GDPR was being designed (2012-2016), Facebook had $300-400B market cap and Google had $400B market cap. Both companies actively lobbied against strong data governance. The commercial stakes were at their highest possible level, the inverse of the IETF 1986 founding environment. (3) Sovereignty conflict - Internet content governance collides simultaneously with US First Amendment (prohibits content regulation at federal level), Chinese/Russian sovereign censorship interests (want MORE content control), EU human rights framework (active regulation of hate speech), and commercial platform interests (resist liability). These conflicts prevent global consensus. Aviation faced no comparable sovereignty conflict. (4) Coordination without exclusion - Unlike TCP/IP (where non-adoption means network exclusion), social media governance non-compliance doesn't produce automatic exclusion. Facebook operating without GDPR compliance doesn't get excluded from the market, it gets fined (imperfectly). The enforcement mechanism requires state coercion rather than market self-enforcement. Timeline evidence: 1996 Communications Decency Act struck down; 2003 CAN-SPAM Act (limited effectiveness); 2018 GDPR (27 years after WWW, EU only); 2023 US still has no comprehensive social media governance. For AI governance, all four barriers are present at equal or greater intensity.

+# Internet technical governance succeeded through network effects and low commercial stakes at inception creating self-enforcing coordination impossible to replicate for AI
+
+Internet technical standards coordination succeeded through two enabling conditions that cannot be recreated for AI: (1) Network effects as self-enforcing coordination - TCP/IP adoption was not a governance requirement but a technical necessity; computers not speaking TCP/IP could not access the network, making adoption commercially self-enforcing without any enforcement mechanism. This created the strongest possible coordination incentive: non-coordination meant commercial exclusion from the most valuable network ever created. (2) Low commercial stakes at governance inception - IETF was founded in 1986 when the internet was exclusively academic/military with zero commercial industry. The commercial internet didn't exist until 1991 and didn't generate significant revenue until 1994-1995. By the time commercial stakes were high (late 1990s), TCP/IP, HTTP, and the core IETF process were already institutionalized and technically locked in. Additionally, TCP/IP and HTTP were published openly and unpatented (Berners-Lee explicitly chose not to patent), so no party had commercial interest in blocking adoption. For AI governance, both conditions are inverted: (1) AI safety compliance imposes costs without providing commercial advantage and may impose competitive disadvantage - there is no network effect making safety standards self-enforcing. (2) AI governance is being attempted when commercial stakes are at historical peak (2023 national security race, trillion-dollar valuations) and capabilities are proprietary (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google have direct commercial interests in not having their systems standardized or regulated). The only potential technical layer analog for AI would be if cloud infrastructure providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) required certified safety evaluations for deployment, creating a network-effect mechanism comparable to TCP/IP adoption. Current evidence: they have not adopted this requirement.

+# Nuclear governance succeeded through security architecture as fifth enabling condition where extended deterrence substituted for proliferation incentives
+
+The NPT achieved partial coordination success (9 nuclear states vs. 30+ technically capable states) through a mechanism not captured in the four-condition framework: security architecture providing non-proliferation incentives. Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Taiwan—all technically capable—chose not to proliferate because US extended deterrence provided the security benefit of nuclear weapons without requiring independent arsenals.
+
+This differs fundamentally from commercial network effects (Condition 2). The governance mechanism was a security arrangement where the dominant power had both the interest (preventing proliferation) and capability (providing security guarantees) to substitute for the proliferation incentive. The P5 alignment created an unusual structure where states with highest stakes in governance also had power to provide it.
+
+Evidence: West Germany, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Libya, Iraq, Egypt all had technical capability but did not develop weapons. NATO and Pacific alliance structures provided security guarantees that removed the strategic rationale for independent nuclear programs. This is a distinct mechanism from the four enabling conditions identified in aviation, CFC, and other governance cases.
+
+The nuclear case thus reveals a potential fifth enabling condition: security architecture where a dominant actor can credibly substitute for the competitive advantage that would otherwise drive technology adoption. This condition appears specific to security domains and may not generalize to AI governance, where no analogous 'AI security umbrella' exists.

+# Nuclear near-miss frequency qualifies NPT coordination success as luck-dependent because 80 years of non-use with 0.5-1% annual risk represents improbable survival not stable governance
+
+The nuclear governance 'success story' is qualified by the near-miss record showing coordination is fragile and luck-dependent. Documented incidents include: 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis where Vasili Arkhipov prevented nuclear launch from Soviet submarine; 1983 Able Archer where NATO exercise nearly triggered Soviet preemptive strike and Stanislav Petrov prevented false-alarm response; 1995 Norwegian Rocket Incident where Boris Yeltsin brought nuclear briefcase; 1999 Kargil conflict with Pakistan-India nuclear signaling; 2022-2026 Russia-Ukraine conflict with unprecedented nuclear signaling frequency.
+
+If annual near-miss probability is 0.5-1%, then 80 years without nuclear war represents an improbably lucky run rather than stable coordination achievement. The coordination success (non-proliferation, non-use) is real but the risk has not been eliminated—it has been managed through a combination of governance mechanisms and fortunate outcomes in crisis moments.
+
+This supports rather than challenges the broader thesis that coordination is structurally harder than technology development. Nuclear governance is the BEST case of technology-governance coupling in the most dangerous domain, and even here the coordination is partial, unstable, and luck-dependent. The 'success' demonstrates that even optimal enabling conditions (triggering event, physical manifestation, security architecture) produce fragile rather than robust coordination.

 # Futardio
 
 ## Overview
-MetaDAO's permissionless token launch platform for smaller raises ($50K-$500K). Implements "unruggable ICOs" — permissionless launches where investors can force full treasury return through futarchy-governed liquidation if teams materially misrepresent. This is a separate tier from MetaDAO's curated ICOs (Umbra, Solomon, Ranger, P2P.me) — Futardio is the permissionless infrastructure that lets anyone launch, while the curated ICOs go through MetaDAO's selection process. ~$90 to launch, enabling rapid iteration.
 
-## Current State
-- **Launches**: 45 total (verified from platform data, March 2026). Many projects show "REFUNDING" status (failed to meet raise targets). Total commits: $17.8M across 1,010 funders.
-- **Mechanism**: Unruggable ICO. Projects raise capital, treasury is held onchain, futarchy proposals govern project direction. If community votes for liquidation, treasury returns to token holders.
-- **Quality signal**: The platform is permissionless — anyone can launch. Brand separation between Futardio platform and individual project quality is an active design challenge.
-- **Key test case**: Ranger Finance liquidation proposal (March 2026) — first major futarchy-governed enforcement action. Liquidation IS the enforcement mechanism — system working as designed.
-- **Low relaunch cost**: ~$90 to launch, enabling rapid iteration (MycoRealms launched, failed, relaunched)
+MetaDAO's permissionless token launch platform, branded and operated separately from the curated MetaDAO ICO track. Anyone can launch for ~$90. Projects get the same futarchy governance mechanism — treasury held on-chain, futarchy-governed liquidation rights for investors — but without MetaDAO's curation or selection process.
+
+## The Permissionless Move
+
+MetaDAO originally rejected the idea of a permissionless launchpad. In August 2024, a proposal to develop Futardio as a memecoin launchpad failed via futarchy — the market correctly identified reputational risk. A one-line "should MetaDAO create Futardio?" proposal also failed in November 2024 for lack of specification.
+
+The breakthrough was brand separation. In February 2025, Proph3t and Kollan proposed releasing a launchpad with a separate brand identity — Futardio — so that permissionless launch failures wouldn't damage MetaDAO's curated reputation. This proposal passed. The mechanism is the same (unruggable ICO, futarchy governance), but the brand, curation level, and risk profile are distinct.
+
+This is the core design insight: permissionless launches need their own brand because a single platform can't simultaneously signal "we curate quality" and "anyone can launch." MetaDAO handles the curated ownership coin track (10 launches to date). Futardio handles the permissionless tier.
+
+## Successful Raises
+
+Two projects have successfully raised through Futardio's permissionless track:
+
+| Project | Ticker | Target | Committed | Oversubscription | Entity |
+|---------|--------|--------|-----------|------------------|--------|
+| Futardio Cult | $FUTARDIO | — | $11.4M | — | [[futardio-cult]] |
+| Superclaw | $SUPER | $50K | $5.95M | 119x | [[superclaw]] |
+
+**Futardio Cult** ($11.4M raised) is the platform's own governance token — the largest single capital raise on the permissionless tier. 228x oversubscription. However, this is a weak test of futarchy's value because the raise is confounded with meme coin speculation dynamics.
+
+**Superclaw** ($5.95M committed against $50K target) is AI agent infrastructure. Highest oversubscription ratio of any post-v0.6 launch. This is the strongest evidence that the permissionless tier can surface legitimate projects.
+
+## The Permissionless Launch Log
+
+The vast majority of permissionless launches fail to reach their targets. This is the filtering function working as designed — the market says no to projects that can't attract capital.
+
+As of March 2026: 65+ total launches, 2 successful raises, 50+ refunding/failed, several trivial/test launches. Total capital committed across all launches: ~$17.9M, with 97.2% concentrated in the top 2 projects (Futardio Cult and Superclaw).
+
+Notable failures and what they reveal:
+- **Seyf** — raised $200 against a $300K target. AI-native wallet concept with near-zero market traction. Launched the same week as Futardio Cult's $11.4M raise, showing the market discriminates sharply even within the permissionless tier.
+- **MycoRealms** — launched, failed, relaunched (v2 reached $158K of $200K target, still short). The ~$90 relaunch cost enables rapid iteration, which is a feature.
+- **Salmon Wallet** — three attempts (v1, v2, v3 reaching $97.5K of $375K). Persistent effort, persistent market rejection.
 
-## Timeline
-- **2024-06** — [[futardio-fund-rug-bounty-program]] passed: $5K USDC for RugBounty.xyz development
-- **2024-08** — MetaDAO proposal to develop futardio as memecoin launchpad failed (reputational risk outweighed adoption benefits)
-- **2025-10** — Futardio launches. Umbra is first launch (~$155M committed). Curated ICOs begin.
-- **2025-11** — Solomon launch ($103M committed, $2M raised)
-- **2026-01** — Ranger ICO ($86M committed, $6M raised). MycoRealms, VaultGuard initialize.
-- **2026-02** — Mechanism updated to unruggable ICO. Hurupay fails ($2M of $3M minimum — first ICO failure). Permissionless launch wave begins.
-- **2026-02/03** — Launch explosion: 50+ permissionless launches in ~4 weeks. Most fail to reach targets. Superclaw ($5.95M) is the standout success.
-- **2026-03** — Ranger Finance liquidation — first futarchy-governed enforcement action, $5.04M returned to holders
-- **2026-03-25** — Platform totals: $17.9M committed across 52 launches from 1,030 funders; 97.2% of capital concentrated in top 2 projects (Futardio Cult $11.4M, Superclaw $6M)
 ## Competitive Position
-- **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees
-- **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."
-- **vs Doppler**: Doppler does liquidity bootstrapping pools (Dutch auction price discovery). Different mechanism, no governance layer.
-- **Structural advantage**: The futarchy enforcement mechanism is novel — no competitor offers investor protection through market-governed liquidation
-- **Structural weakness**: Permissionless launches mean quality varies wildly. Platform reputation tied to worst-case projects despite brand separation efforts.
+
+**vs Pump.fun**: Both permissionless, anyone can launch. Pump.fun is a memecoin casino — zero accountability, bonding curve mechanics, massive throughput ($billions). Futardio adds the futarchy layer: treasury held on-chain, futarchy-governed liquidation if teams misrepresent. The question is whether that protection is worth the friction. Pump.fun has orders of magnitude more volume; Futardio has 2 successful raises vs Pump.fun's thousands. But Futardio's successes have real treasuries and real governance — Pump.fun's do not.
+
+**vs Doppler**: Liquidity bootstrapping pools (Dutch auction price discovery). Different mechanism, no governance layer. Doppler solves initial pricing; Futardio solves ongoing accountability.
+
+**Structural advantage**: Only permissionless launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees. The enforcement mechanism has been proven twice at the MetaDAO level (mtnCapital, Ranger liquidations).
+
+**Structural weakness**: The 97% capital concentration in 2 projects (out of 65+ launches) means the platform's success story is extremely thin. If Superclaw fails, the permissionless tier's track record outside of the platform's own token is zero.
 
 ## Investment Thesis
-Futardio is the test of whether futarchy can govern capital formation at scale. If unruggable ICOs produce better investor outcomes than unregulated token launches (pump.fun) while maintaining permissionless access, Futardio creates a new category: accountable permissionless fundraising. The Ranger liquidation is the first live test of the enforcement mechanism.
+
+Futardio tests whether futarchy can govern capital formation at the permissionless tier. If the filtering function continues to work (bad projects fail fast, good projects get funded) and the enforcement mechanism proves out on the permissionless tier (not just the curated MetaDAO track), then Futardio creates a new category: accountable permissionless fundraising. The data so far is early — 2 successes out of 65+ attempts is a strong filter but a thin track record.
 
 **Thesis status:** ACTIVE

 # MetaDAO
 
 ## Overview
-The futarchy governance protocol on Solana. Implements decision markets through Autocrat — a system where proposals create parallel pass/fail token universes settled by time-weighted average price over a three-day window. Also operates as a launchpad for ownership coins through curated ICOs. The first platform for futarchy-governed organizations at scale.
+
+Capital formation platform on Solana that uses futarchy to govern the full lifecycle of ownership coins — from launch pricing through treasury management to liquidation enforcement. Projects raise capital through curated ICOs where conditional markets set price discovery, investors get on-chain protection through futarchy-governed liquidation rights, and the whole structure sits inside a Cayman SPC + Marshall Islands DAO LLC legal framework.
+
+MetaDAO started as a governance-as-a-service protocol (Drift, Dean's List, Sanctum, ORE, coal all adopted its Autocrat mechanism for DAO governance). That business line still exists but capital formation is now the primary focus — enabling companies to raise money, creating ownership coins, and providing legal structuring for on-chain ownership and futarchy.
 
 ## Core Products
 
-**Autocrat**: Conditional token markets for governance decisions. Proposals create pass/fail universes; TWAP settlement over 3 days. ~$3.8M cumulative trading volume across 65+ governance proposals ($58K average per proposal).
+**Curated ICOs (Ownership Coin Launches)**: MetaDAO's primary business. Projects apply, get selected, and raise capital through an ICO mechanism where conditional markets provide price discovery. Investors commit capital; oversubscription gets pro-rata'd. Treasuries are held on-chain with futarchy governance. If a team materially misrepresents, futarchy can vote to liquidate and return treasury to holders — the "unruggable ICO" mechanism. Updated from uncapped pro-rata to unruggable ICO format in February 2026.
 
-**Curated ICOs (Ownership Coin Launches)**: MetaDAO selects and launches projects through its ICO mechanism. Projects raise capital, receive futarchy governance, and become ownership coins in the MetaDAO ecosystem. The original mechanism used uncapped pro-rata commitments, causing massive overbidding (Umbra: $155M committed for $750K raise; Solomon: $103M committed for $2M raise). Mechanism updated to unruggable ICO format in February 2026.
+**Autocrat**: The governance engine. Conditional token markets where proposals create parallel pass/fail universes settled by time-weighted average price (TWAP) over a three-day window. ~$3.8M cumulative trading volume across 37+ governance proposals. Anti-spam stake required to propose.
 
-**Futardio** ([[futardio]]): MetaDAO's permissionless launch infrastructure for smaller raises ($50K-$500K). Anyone can launch. Separate tier from the curated ICOs — not a replacement, but complementary infrastructure for projects that don't go through MetaDAO's curation process. See the [[futardio]] entity for the full permissionless launch table.
+**Futarchic AMM**: Purpose-built AMM for decision market trading. No fees for external LPs — all fees go to the protocol. ~20% of each project's token supply is in the Futarchic AMM LP. LP cannot be withdrawn during active markets. $300M volume processed, $1.5M in fees generated.
 
-**Futarchic AMM**: Custom-built AMM for decision market trading. No fees for external LPs — all fees go to the protocol. ~20% of each project's token supply is in the Futarchic AMM LP. LP cannot be withdrawn during active markets. Processed $300M volume and generated $1.5M in fees.
+**Governance-as-a-Service**: Secondary business line. Protocols adopt MetaDAO's Autocrat for their own DAO governance without going through the ICO process. Current clients: Drift (7 proposals), Dean's List (8), Sanctum (6), ORE (4), coal (4), Omnipair (4).
 
-## Ownership Coin Launches (Curated ICOs)
+**Legal Structuring**: Cayman SPC + Marshall Islands DAO LLC framework for ownership coin projects. Creates regulatory defensibility — the structural separation of capital raise from investment decision is designed to survive Howey test scrutiny.
 
-These are the projects that launched through MetaDAO's curated ICO process and became ownership coins in the ecosystem:

+| 1 | mtnCapital | $MTN | [[mtncapital]] | Liquidated (~Sep 2025) |

+| 10 | P2P.me | $P2P | [[p2p-me]] | Complete (Mar 2026) |
 
 **Key patterns:**
-- Early ICOs had extreme oversubscription (Umbra 207x, Loyal 152x, Solomon 51x) — more capital wanted in than slots available
-- Ranger was the first liquidation — $5.04M USDC returned to holders after material misrepresentation. The enforcement mechanism worked as designed.
-- P2P.me was the most recent curated ICO (March 2026), much lower oversubscription than early launches
+- mtnCapital was the first ownership coin launch and the first to be liquidated (~September 2025), establishing the enforcement precedent 6 months before Ranger
+- Early ICOs had extreme oversubscription (Umbra 207x, Loyal 152x) — more capital wanted in than slots available
+- Ranger was the highest-profile liquidation — $5.04M USDC returned to holders after documented material misrepresentation. 97% market support for liquidation.
+- P2P.me was the most recent curated ICO (March 2026), backed by Multicoin + Coinbase Ventures
 - Hurupay attempted a $3M raise in February 2026 but failed to reach minimum — first ICO failure, all capital refunded
+- Two successful liquidations (mtnCapital, Ranger) demonstrate the enforcement mechanism works as designed
+
+## Competitive Position
+
+MetaDAO created a new category in crypto capital formation. No other platform combines market-based price discovery, on-chain investor protection, and legal structuring in one stack.
+
+**Capital formation tiers:**
+
+| Tier | Platform | Curation | Investor Protection | Price Discovery |
+|------|----------|----------|-------------------|-----------------|
+| Permissionless | Pump.fun | None | None | Bonding curve |
+| Community-curated | Jupiter LFG | Community vote | None | Sentiment |
+| **Futarchy-governed** | **MetaDAO** | **Team-selected + market-validated** | **Futarchy liquidation** | **Conditional markets** |
+| Institutional | VCs / CoinList | VC-selected | Legal contracts | Private negotiation |
+
+**By competitive front:**
+
+*For deal flow (projects choosing where to launch):*
+- **Jupiter LFG** — big distribution via Jupiter's Solana user base, community vote selection, but no post-launch governance or investor protection. Projects choosing Jupiter LFG get wider reach; projects choosing MetaDAO get legal structure and governance infrastructure.
+- **Pump.fun** — massive throughput but zero curation and zero accountability. Competes more directly with [[futardio]] (both permissionless) than with MetaDAO's curated track.
+- **VCs** — private, fast, opaque pricing, but connections and credibility. MetaDAO's value prop against the VC route: public market pricing, wider investor access, and no equity dilution to intermediaries.
+
+*For the futarchy mechanism:*
+- **[[umia]]** — Futarchy platform on Base (Ethereum L2) using Paradigm's Quantum Markets. Pre-launch as of early 2026. First direct cross-chain competitor implementing the same mechanism category. Deep Ethereum Foundation connections.
+- **Prediction markets** (Polymarket, Kalshi) validate that conditional markets work at scale but serve a different use case (forecasting vs governance). Polymarket's $200B+ annualized volume proves the mechanism; MetaDAO applies it to capital allocation.
+
+*For governance-as-a-service (secondary business):*
+- **Snapshot** — token voting, free, widely adopted, but no conditional market mechanism
+- **Tally** — on-chain governance, Ethereum-focused
+- **Realms** — Solana-native governance, simpler than futarchy
+
+**Structural advantages:**
+- The Futarchic AMM is purpose-built; no existing AMM can replicate conditional token market settlement
+- Two successful liquidations (mtnCapital, Ranger) create empirical credibility no competitor can claim
+- Legal structuring via Cayman SPC creates regulatory defensibility
+- Robin Hanson (inventor of futarchy) as advisor creates a theory-practice feedback loop
+
+**Key vulnerability:** Depends on ownership coin quality. Ranger liquidation and Trove collapse damaged near-term credibility despite enforcement mechanism working as designed. The committed-to-raised ratio declining from 200x to ~1x on recent launches may signal cooling demand or market maturation.
 
 ## Current State
 - **Financial**: $85.7M market cap, $219M ecosystem market cap ($69M non-META). Total revenue $3.1M+ (Q4 2025 alone: $2.51M). Total equity $16.5M, 15+ quarters runway.
-- **Ecosystem**: 8 curated ICOs raising $25.6M total + 65+ permissionless Futardio launches
-- **Treasury**: Active management via subcommittee proposals. Omnibus proposal migrated ~90% of META liquidity into Futarchy AMM and burned ~60K META.
+- **Ecosystem**: 10 curated ownership coin launches + governance-as-a-service for 5 protocols + permissionless launches via [[futardio]]
+- **Treasury**: Active management via futarchy proposals. Omnibus proposal migrated ~90% of META liquidity into Futarchy AMM and burned ~60K META.
 - **Known limitation**: Limited trading volume in uncontested decisions — when community consensus is obvious, conditional markets add little information.

-## Competitive Position
-- **First mover** in futarchy-governed organizations at scale
-- **No direct competitor** for conditional-market governance on Solana
-- **Indirect competitors**: Snapshot (token voting, free, widely adopted), Tally (onchain governance, Ethereum-focused)
-- **Structural advantage**: the Futarchic AMM is purpose-built; no existing AMM can replicate conditional token market settlement
-- **Key vulnerability**: depends on ecosystem project quality. Ranger liquidation and Trove collapse damaged credibility. Brand separation between MetaDAO curated launches and Futardio permissionless launches is an active design challenge.
+**Most significant:**
+- **Burn 99.3% META** (2024-03) — Community-proposed radical supply reduction. Changed MetaDAO's entire token economics.
+- **BDF3M appointment** (2024-03) — Futarchy chose benevolent dictators to resolve execution bottleneck. Novel governance experiment.
+- **Futardio concept rejected then approved** (2024-08 → 2025-02) — Market rejected a one-line proposal, approved the same concept 3 months later with full specification. Demonstrates futarchy's quality filtering.

 ## Investment Thesis
-MetaDAO is the platform bet on futarchy as a governance mechanism. If decision markets prove superior to token voting, MetaDAO is the infrastructure layer that captures value from every futarchy-governed organization. Current evidence is mixed: the enforcement mechanism works (Ranger liquidation returned capital), but ecosystem quality varies (Trove collapse, Ranger token crash) and limited trading volume in uncontested decisions raises questions about mechanism utility at the margin.
+
+MetaDAO is the platform bet on futarchy-governed capital formation. If ownership coins prove to be a better fundraising mechanism than traditional token launches — offering real investor protection, market-based pricing, and legal structure — MetaDAO is the infrastructure layer that captures value from every project in the ecosystem.
+
+Current evidence: the enforcement mechanism works (two successful liquidations), demand exists (10 launches with early extreme oversubscription), and the platform generates real revenue ($2.51M in Q4 2025 alone). Open questions: whether demand sustains as oversubscription declines, whether the governance-as-a-service revenue can scale alongside capital formation, and whether Umia's Ethereum implementation creates meaningful competitive pressure.
 
 **Thesis status:** ACTIVE
 
 ## Key Metrics to Track
-- % of total futarchic market volume (market share of decision markets)
-- Number of active projects with meaningful governance activity
+- Number and quality of curated ownership coin launches per quarter
+- Committed-to-raised ratio on new launches (trending from 200x → 1x — cooling or maturing?)
 - Curated ICO success rate (projects still active vs liquidated/abandoned)
-- Futardio permissionless launch success rate
-- Committed-to-raised ratio on new launches (trending from 200x → 1x)
+- Futarchic AMM fee revenue growth
+- Governance-as-a-service client count
 - Ecosystem token aggregate market cap
+- Umia launch timing and traction (competitive threat)

+# MetaDAO Decision Markets
+
+Complete index of all futarchy governance decisions in MetaDAO's history. 37 recorded proposals spanning November 2023 through March 2026. Each decision was resolved through conditional token markets (Autocrat) where the market price determines the outcome.
+
+## What These Markets Reveal
+
+Seven decisions that define MetaDAO's evolution and demonstrate what futarchy actually does in practice:
+
+### 1. The market rejects bad proposals, even good ideas
+The Futardio concept was proposed three times. First as a "memecoin launchpad" (August 2024) — rejected on reputational risk grounds. Then as a one-sentence "should MetaDAO create Futardio?" (November 2024) — rejected for zero specification. Finally as a detailed "Release a Launchpad" proposal with full mechanism design (February 2025) — passed. The market distinguished between a good idea and a good proposal. Same concept, three different proposals, market approved only the one with real substance.
+- [[metadao-develop-memecoin-launchpad]] → Failed
+- [[metadao-create-futardio]] → Failed
+- [[metadao-release-launchpad]] → Passed
+
+### 2. Futarchy prevents value extraction
+A $6M OTC deal offering VCs a 30% discount on META was rejected via futarchy (February 2026). META surged 16% after the rejection. The market literally priced "we rejected the extractive deal" as positive. Earlier, Pantera Capital's OTC at discount failed (February 2024), Ben Hawkins' two OTC attempts failed (February 2024), and Theia's first attempt at a 12.7% discount failed (January 2025). But Theia's second attempt at a 14% *premium* passed, and their third at a 38% premium also passed. The pattern is clear: futarchy rejects below-market deals and approves above-market ones.
+- [[metadao-vc-discount-rejection]] → Rejected
+- [[metadao-otc-trade-pantera-capital]] → Failed
+- [[metadao-otc-trade-ben-hawkins]] → Failed
+- [[metadao-otc-trade-ben-hawkins-2]] → Failed
+- [[metadao-otc-trade-theia-1]] → Failed
+- [[metadao-otc-trade-theia-2]] → Passed (14% premium)
+- [[metadao-otc-trade-theia-3]] → Passed (38% premium)
+
+### 3. Community can override founders on radical changes
+The 99.3% META burn (March 2024) was proposed by community members doctor.sol and rar3, not by founders. It eliminated nearly the entire treasury-held META supply, fundamentally changing tokenomics. This is a concrete example of futarchy enabling non-founder governance proposals with material treasury impact.
+- [[metadao-burn-993-percent-meta]] → Passed
+
+### 4. Futarchy can choose temporary centralization when needed
+The BDF3M appointment (March 2024) made Proph3t and Nallok "Benevolent Dictators for 3 Months" to resolve an execution bottleneck. The market voted for centralization — with an expiration date. The term expired on schedule, FaaS launched, and the bottleneck resolved. Futarchy didn't resist centralization ideologically; it governed the *terms* of centralization.
+- [[metadao-appoint-nallok-proph3t-benevolent-dictators]] → Passed
+
+### 5. Failed proposals succeed later when better specified
+The token split + elastic supply proposal failed in January 2025. A nearly identical proposal passed 6 months later (August 2025) as the META token migration (1:1000 split, mintable supply, new DAO v0.5). The difference: context had shifted, the DAO had exhausted its META treasury via the Theia OTC, and mintable tokens were now a necessity rather than a preference.
+- [[metadao-token-split-elastic-supply]] → Failed
+- [[metadao-migrate-meta-token]] → Passed
+
+### 6. The enforcement mechanism works
+Ranger Finance liquidation (March 2026) — 97% market support, $5.04M USDC returned to holders after documented material misrepresentation. This was the second successful liquidation after mtnCapital (~September 2025). Two cases establish a pattern: the unruggable ICO enforcement mechanism is not theoretical. When teams misrepresent, the market votes to liquidate and capital returns.
+- [[metadao-ranger-finance-liquidation]] → Passed
+
+### 7. Futarchy funds its own research
+Robin Hanson — the economist who invented futarchy in 2000 — was hired as advisor (February 2025), and a $80K GMU research proposal to experimentally test futarchy with 500 participants was filed (March 2026). The mechanism is investing in understanding itself.

+## Summary Statistics
+
+- **Total proposals:** 37
+- **Passed:** 24 (65%)
+- **Failed/Rejected:** 11 (30%)
+- **Active/Pending:** 3 (8%)
+- **Categories:** Treasury (11), Mechanism (8), Strategy (6), Fundraise (4), Hiring (3), Operations (3), Governance (1), Enforcement (1)
+- **OTC trade proposals:** 7 total — 3 passed (all at or above market), 4 failed (all below market)
+- **Time span:** November 2023 — March 2026 (~29 months)
+
+The OTC pattern alone is the strongest empirical evidence for futarchy's anti-extraction properties: every below-market deal rejected, every at-or-above-market deal accepted.
