## Relationship to KB
- Provides empirical evidence for [[futarchy adoption faces friction from token price psychology proposal complexity and liquidity requirements]]
- Demonstrates scope expansion of [[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]]
- Confirms operational scaffolding requirements in [[futarchy-governed DAOs converge on traditional corporate governance scaffolding for treasury operations because market mechanisms alone cannot provide operational security and legal compliance]]
