 Kollan House characterized current futarchy as '~80 IQ' — good enough to block catastrophic decisions, not yet sophisticated enough to replace C-suite judgment. The omnibus proposal itself PASSED through futarchy governance, meaning the mechanism is self-governing its own strategic decisions.

 The new Futarchy AMM eliminated the prior ~$150,000 locked-capital requirement to raise a governance proposal by borrowing spot liquidity from existing pools. Enables uncapped raises versus old capped model; excess funds above minimum go into automatic market support at ICO price. Configurable spending limits for founders, adjustable only through proposals.

 MetaDAO revenues 'declined sharply since mid-December [2025] as ICO activity slowed.' First failed ICO (Hurupay, February 3, 2026) added further pressure. The reset is explicitly a response to cadence decline, not mechanism failure. Revenue model depends entirely on 0.5% swap fees on Futarchy AMM volume, proportional to ICO cadence.

+MetaDAO's revenue model depends entirely on 0.5% swap fees from Futarchy AMM volume, which is directly proportional to ICO cadence. Revenues 'declined sharply since mid-December [2025] as ICO activity slowed.' The strategic reset was explicitly triggered by cadence decline, not mechanism failure. This confirms the throughput fragility thesis.
