This is an unproven mechanism with no live implementation. The claim that index tokens solve RWA liquidity fragmentation assumes sufficient project adoption and that yield aggregation creates meaningful liquidity depth. The 5% yield cut may create adverse selection if high-quality RWA projects avoid the platform in favor of competitors. Treasury sustainability projections are theoretical and based on team assumptions about adoption rates and yield generation. The mechanism has not been tested under market conditions.

Areal Finance launched on Futardio with $50k target, raising only $1,350 before refunding. The proposal explicitly positions RWT (Real World Token) as solving 'fragmented liquidity' where 'every RWA protocol issues separate tokens per asset, creating dozens of isolated micro-liquidity pools.' This is a live test of the unified RWA liquidity thesis under futarchy governance.

The Dean's List proposal passed futarchy governance despite requiring complex multi-step economic modeling (FDV projections, TWAP calculations, sell pressure estimates) that most token holders would not independently verify. The 5.33% projected FDV increase exceeded the 3% TWAP requirement, suggesting the proposal's passage reflected trust in the model rather than independent market validation of the buyback mechanics.

LobsterFutarchy's failure ($1,183 of $500,000 target) occurred despite proposing infrastructure for a stated market need (agent financial sandboxing) and reasonable economics ($45k/month burn for 12 months). The 99.8% funding shortfall suggests participation friction or credibility gaps rather than market rejection of the concept itself.

Dean's List treasury proposal required TWAP > 3% to pass and projected 5-20% FDV increase, well above the threshold. The proposal passed, suggesting that when economic benefits substantially exceed participation thresholds, friction becomes less determinative of outcomes.

Areal's failure mode may not be pure market rejection—the project had completed a vehicle tokenization pilot in Dubai with claimed 26% APY, documented architecture, and a clear product roadmap. The 97.3% funding shortfall suggests either: (1) genuine market skepticism of RWA aggregation thesis, (2) insufficient marketing/distribution to reach potential backers, or (3) participation friction in the Futardio platform itself preventing interested parties from committing capital.
