## Relationship to KB
- [[futarchy adoption faces friction from token price psychology proposal complexity and liquidity requirements]] — failed raise provides empirical evidence
- [[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]] — first observed wallet infrastructure project on platform
- [[futarchy-governed DAOs converge on traditional corporate governance scaffolding for treasury operations because market mechanisms alone cannot provide operational security and legal compliance]] — minimal governance budget allocation (2%) may have contributed to raise failure
