# Solomon: Futardio ICO Launch
## Summary
Solomon Labs, building USDv (a composable yield-bearing stablecoin on Solana), raised $8M via MetaDAO's futarchy-governed ICO. $102.9M committed against $2M minimum (51.5x oversubscribed). USDv stays at $1 via two-way market making, earns yield from basis trade strategy (long spot, short perp) and T-bills. Yield delivered via sUSDv (permissionless staking) or Yield-as-a-Service for protocols. Ran live in closed beta for one year with seven-figure TVL and zero incidents through multiple market shocks.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Complete
- **Total Committed:** $102,932,673
- **Final Raise:** $8,000,000
- **Minimum:** $2,000,000
- **Duration:** 2025-11-14 to 2025-11-18
- **Token:** SOLO (SoLo9oxzLDpcq1dpqAgMwgce5WqkRDtNXK7EPnbmeta)
## Significance
Largest MetaDAO ICO by commitment volume ($102.9M). Demonstrates that futarchy-governed fundraising can attract institutional-scale capital for infrastructure projects. Solomon's approach — composable stablecoin with basis trade yield — represents DeFi infrastructure rather than speculative memecoin, validating MetaDAO's expansion beyond governance experiments.

## Full Proposal Text
*Source: futard.io, launched 2025-11-14*
Solomon is building a more composable dollar that stays at $1, doesn't rebase, and earns. Over $150B of stable capital is idle across chains because yield designs require staking into a separate, drifting or rebasing unit that breaks composability.
USDv: Solana-native, composable, kept at $1 via two-way market making. Stake for sUSDv (permissionless) or use Yield-as-a-Service for direct USDv yield. Yield from basis trade strategy (long spot, short perp) and T-bills. Automated trading infrastructure with custody segregated via Ceffu with insurance. Programs audited, admin via Squads multisig.
Raise: $2M minimum, $5-8M ideal target. Uses: treasury yield generation (~16% APR), liquidity mining for TVL growth, deeper USDv/USDC liquidity, improved venue terms. Default structure: 20% to seed liquidity, 80% to DAO treasury.
