+# Futarchy platform intervention in fundraising creates due diligence obligations and transforms the platform from passive infrastructure into active participant with regulatory exposure (functional scope)
+
+Legal analysis argues that MetaDAO's intervention in the P2P fundraise created two distinct regulatory risks. First, by exercising control over whether a raise continues, MetaDAO moved from being a 'fundraising platform' to being 'actively involved in raise' — a distinction that matters for regulatory classification. Second, and more critically, by stating that founders' past experience is the basis to continue the raise, MetaDAO created an ongoing due diligence obligation on itself. The lawyer notes this creates bad precedent because the platform must now 'check the indemnities founders provide' — implying MetaDAO has assumed responsibility for verifying founder claims rather than remaining a neutral infrastructure layer. This represents a structural tension in futarchy platforms: intervention to protect ecosystem integrity may create legal obligations that undermine the permissionless nature of the platform. The mechanism is that vouching for specific attributes (founder experience) transforms the platform's functional role from neutral arbiter of market outcomes to active gatekeeper with verification duties.

+- MetaDAO is the futarchy launchpad on Solana where projects raise capital through unruggable ICOs governed by conditional markets creating the first platform for ownership coins at scale.md
+- futarchy-governed entities are structurally not securities because prediction market participation replaces the concentrated promoter effort that the Howey test requires.md
