- What: Three interconnected claims building the analytical framework for evaluating token launch mechanisms
1. Launch mechanism trilemma (shill-proof × community-aligned × price-discovering) — no existing mechanism achieves all three
2. Token launches as hybrid-value auctions — why standard auction theory results point to wrong mechanisms
3. Layered launch architecture — separate quality governance, pricing, liquidity, and community rewards across mechanism layers
- Why: Derived from critical analysis of Doppler (PR #31), pump.fun, MetaDAO/futard.io, batch auctions, and auction theory (Vickrey, Myerson, Milgrom & Weber). Cory's challenge on Doppler's true-believer penalty exposed the need for a formal evaluation framework. These claims are the core of the mechanism design competency web.
- Connections: Extends Doppler dutch-auction claim, connects to futarchy governance claims, bridges to optimal governance mixing claim in foundations
