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.

**Source:** Blockworks, January 6, 2026
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.

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

# MetaDAO revenue model creates throughput fragility because fee income is directly proportional to ICO cadence making cadence maintenance the primary operational risk

**Source:** Blockworks, January 6, 2026
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.
