Phonon Studio AI launch failed to reach its $88,888 target and entered refunding status, demonstrating that not all futarchy-governed raises succeed. The project had demonstrable traction (live product, 1000+ songs generated, functional token mechanics) but still failed to attract sufficient capital, suggesting futarchy capital formation success is not uniform across project types or market conditions.

NFA.space launched on futard.io with $125,000 target, demonstrating futarchy-governed fundraising for physical art RWA marketplace. Project has pre-existing traction: 1,895 artists from 79 countries, 2,000+ artworks sold, $150,000 historical revenue, $5,000 MRR, 12.5% repeat purchase rate. This shows futarchy ICO platform attracting projects with demonstrated product-market fit, not just speculative launches.

Ranger raised $86.4M against $6M target (14.4x oversubscription), demonstrating continued strong demand for futarchy-governed ICOs. This is the first MetaDAO raise with existing investors and pre-existing obligations, testing whether the model works for later-stage companies with complex cap tables.

Salmon Wallet explicitly highlights 'Founder incentives tied to token performance — we win when you win' and 'Team unlocks are performance-gated, meaning we earn more only as Salmon grows' as core features of their MetaDAO launch structure. This confirms the mechanism is being marketed as a key differentiator to potential investors.

Ranger allocates 7.6M tokens (29.6% of supply) to team with 18-month cliff and price-based unlocks at 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x ICO price using 3-month TWAP. This demonstrates continued adoption of performance-based vesting in futarchy-governed projects.

Ranger's ambassador/ecosystem allocation uses 25% immediate unlock with remaining 25% on 6-month linear vest, showing this hybrid vesting pattern is becoming standard in futarchy ICOs.
