# Metaplex Genesis
|
|
|
|
Metaplex Genesis is a curated token launchpad on Solana that competes with both permissionless platforms (Pump.fun) and futarchy-governed platforms (MetaDAO). The platform is declining: Q4 2025 saw 3 launches/$5.4M versus Q3 2025's 5 launches/$7.53M. This decline is notable because it occurs while MetaDAO is growing counter-cyclically, suggesting traditional curation (without futarchy governance) is losing market share to both permissionless chaos and futarchy-governed quality.
