- What: Replaced the 15x oversubscription claim with corrected framing. Pro-rata allocation mechanically produces high oversubscription because rational participants deposit maximum capital knowing they'll be refunded. The ratio measures capital cycling, not mechanism quality. - Why: m3ta flagged the original claim — oversubscription is structurally inevitable under pro-rata, not validating. Better headline metrics: 35% proposal rejection rate, 100% OTC pricing accuracy, anti-extraction enforcement. 15x stays as evidence, stops being the headline. - Connections: Updated wiki links in metadao.md entity, solomon decision record, and capital concentration claim. Old file removed with replaces field in new file for traceability. Pentagon-Agent: Rio <244BA05F-3AA3-4079-8C59-6D68A77C76FE>

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.
Relationship to KB
- solomon — parent entity
- metadao — ICO platform
- MetaDAO oversubscription is rational capital cycling under pro-rata not governance validation — Solomon's 51.5x is another instance of pro-rata capital cycling
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.
