The tool uses a 60% presale threshold as the success condition: if presale reaches 60% of target, migration proceeds with new LP creation; if not, all SOL is refunded and new tokens are burned. This applies the conditional market logic to post-launch rescues rather than just initial launches. The proposal describes the tool as addressing 'Rugged Projects: Preserve community and restore value in projects affected by rug pulls' and 'Hostile Takeovers: Enabling projects to acquire other projects and empowering communities to assert control over failed project teams.' The mechanism creates on-chain enforcement of community coordination thresholds for takeover scenarios, extending MetaDAO's unruggable ICO pattern to the secondary market for abandoned projects. -*Source: [[2026-01-00-alearesearch-metadao-fair-launches-misaligned-market]] | Added: 2026-03-12 | Extractor: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5* +*Source: 2026-01-00-alearesearch-metadao-fair-launches-misaligned-market | Added: 2026-03-12 | Extractor: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5* MetaDAO ICO platform processed 8 projects from April 2025 to January 2026, raising $25.6M against $390M in committed demand (15x oversubscription).

All previous 8 ICOs since April 2025 had succeeded before this. Two competing interpretations: (1) the platform's quality filter works — not all projects pass, which strengthens rather than weakens the ownership coin thesis; (2) the investor base was thinning during the post-December 2025 revenue decline, and the failure reflects demand contraction rather than project-specific filtering. The evidence supports both readings — Hurupay's fundamentals were stronger than several projects that did raise successfully, which favors the demand-thinning interpretation, but the timing also coincided with broader emerging-market sentiment weakness. ### Additional Evidence (extend) -*Source: [[2026-03-17-metadao-q1-2026-update]] | Added: 2026-03-18* +*Source: 2026-03-17-metadao-q1-2026-update | Added: 2026-03-18* Revenue declined sharply since mid-December 2025, with the ICO cadence problem persisting due to the curated model limiting throughput. This is the key new signal — the platform's revenue trajectory has inverted despite strong cumulative metrics, suggesting the curated model's throughput ceiling may be binding. ### Additional Evidence (extend) -*Source: [[2026-03-19-metadao-ownership-radio-march-2026]] | Added: 2026-03-19* +*Source: 2026-03-19-metadao-ownership-radio-march-2026 | Added: 2026-03-19* MetaDAO hosted two Ownership Radio community calls in March 2026 (March 8 and March 15) focused on ecosystem updates, Futardio launches, and upcoming ICOs like P2P.me (March 26), but neither session addressed protocol-level changes or the FairScale implicit put option problem from January 2026.

Pine Analytics flagged this as 'fund-level risk with venture-level dilution' where public buyers bear poker staking variance while holding only 5% of tokens. This tests whether MetaDAO's governance filter actually catches structural alignment failures or whether growth narratives override ownership economics. --- ### Additional Evidence (confirm) -*Source: [[2026-03-21-phemex-hurupay-ico-failure]] | Added: 2026-03-21* +*Source: 2026-03-21-phemex-hurupay-ico-failure | Added: 2026-03-21* Hurupay ICO raised $2,003,593 against $3M minimum (67% of target) and all capital was fully refunded with no tokens issued, demonstrating the minimum-miss refund mechanism working exactly as designed.

Critics question 'why does a working P2P fiat ramp need a token?' for a product with 23k+ users and $4M monthly volume. The team frames it as 'community ownership infrastructure' but unit economics reveal tight margins: ~$500K annualized revenue, only ~$82K gross profit after costs, burning $175K/month. This suggests the token launch functions partly as a runway play dressed up as decentralization, undermining the narrative that futarchy-governed ICOs are primarily about governance quality rather than capital extraction. ### Additional Evidence (extend) -*Source: [[2026-03-23-x-research-metadao-robin-hanson-george-mason-futarchy-research-proposal]] | Added: 2026-03-23* +*Source: 2026-03-23-x-research-metadao-robin-hanson-george-mason-futarchy-research-proposal | Added: 2026-03-23* MetaDAO proposed funding six months of futarchy research at George Mason University led by economist Robin Hanson, demonstrating institutional academic engagement with futarchy mechanisms beyond just implementation. ### Additional Evidence (extend) -*Source: [[2026-03-23-telegram-m3taversal-futairdbot-you-should-learn-about-this-i-know-dr]] | Added: 2026-03-23* +*Source: 2026-03-23-telegram-m3taversal-futairdbot-you-should-learn-about-this-i-know-dr | Added: 2026-03-23* Drift Protocol, the most legitimate DeFi protocol on Solana by revenue ($19.8M annual fees, ~$95M FDV, 3.5x price-to-book), is reportedly considering migration to a MetaDAO ownership coin structure.
