Launch Details
Team / Description
DonutDAO is a playful experiment in applying futarchy and on-chain governance to a real-world small business.
We are launching a neighborhood gourmet donut stand funded entirely through a token sale on MetaDAO. The goal is to test whether prediction-market-driven governance can outperform traditional founder-led decision-making — even at the scale of a physical street food business.
How It Works
We raise startup capital via an ICO on MetaDAO.
Treasury funds are allocated toward:
Equipment and kitchen setup
Ingredient sourcing
Location rental
Branding and marketing
Token holders govern key business decisions through proposal markets:
New flavor launches
Seasonal menu changes
Hiring decisions
Expansion to new locations
Treasury deployment
Dividend policy
Proposal outcomes are determined using futarchy-style governance, aligning decisions with measurable success metrics (e.g., revenue growth, profit margins, or treasury NAV).
Token Utility
The DONUT token provides:
Governance rights
Exposure to treasury performance
Potential revenue-sharing distributions
Influence over brand direction
Vision
DonutDAO is a test case for:
Real-world asset governance via crypto
Micro-cap ICO funding models
Community-owned brick-and-mortar businesses
The viability of futarchy beyond digital-native protocols
If it works for donuts, it can work for coffee shops, food trucks, pop-ups — or any capital-light startup.
