m3taversal ea5a859032 rio: upgrade 7 ownership coin entity files with research + correct attribution

- What: Rewrote mtnCapital, Avici, Loyal, ZKLSOL, Paystream, Solomon, P2P.me entities
- Why: Entities had wrong parent (futardio instead of metadao), missing investment
  rationales, no governance activity, stale/thin content. Bot couldn't answer basic
  questions about MetaDAO launches.
- Changes per entity:
  - Corrected parent: [[metadao]] (curated launches, not futardio permissionless)
  - Added launch_platform, launch_order fields for proper sequencing
  - Added investment rationale from original raise pitches
  - Added governance activity tables (buybacks, restructuring, team packages)
  - Added open questions and competitive context
  - Removed hardcoded prices (live tool handles this)
- Sources: X research, decision records, source archives, web search

Solomon

Overview

Composable yield-bearing stablecoin protocol on Solana. Core product is USDv — a stablecoin that generates yield from delta-neutral basis trades (spot long / perp short on BTC/ETH/SOL majors) with T-bill integration in the last mile. YaaS (Yield-as-a-Service) streams yield to approved USDv holders, LP positions, and treasury balances without wrappers or vaults.

Investment Rationale (from raise)

The largest MetaDAO curated ICO by committed capital ($102.9M from 6,603 contributors). The thesis: yield-bearing stablecoins are the next major DeFi primitive, and Solomon's approach — basis trades + T-bills, distributed through YaaS — avoids the centralization risks of Ethena while maintaining competitive yields. The massive oversubscription (13x) reflected conviction that this was the strongest product thesis in the MetaDAO pipeline.

ICO Details

Platform: MetaDAO curated launchpad (8th launch)
Date: November 14-18, 2025
Target: $2M
Committed: $102.9M from 6,603 contributors (51.5x oversubscribed — largest in MetaDAO history)
Final raise: $8M (capped)
Launch mechanism: Futardio v0.6 (pro-rata)

Current State (as of early 2026)

Product:

USDv live in private beta with seven-figure TVL
TVL reached $3M (30% growth from prior update)
sUSDv beta rate: ~20.9% APY
YaaS integration progressing with a major neobank partner (Avici)
Cantina audit completed
Legal clearance ~1 month away

Token: Trading ~~$0.66-$0.85 range. Down from $1.41 ATH. Very low secondary volume (~~$53/day).

Team: Led by Ranga C, who publishes Lab Notes on Substack. New developer hired (Google/Superteam/Solana hackathon background). 50+ commits in recent sprint — Solana parsing, AMM execution layer, internal tooling. Recruiting senior backend.

Governance Activity

Solomon has the most sophisticated governance formation of any MetaDAO project — methodically building corporate-style governance scaffolding through futarchy approvals:

Decision	Date	Outcome	Record
ICO launch	2025-11-14	Completed, $8M raised	solomon-futardio-launch
DP-00001: Treasury subcommittee + legal budget	2026-03	Passed (+2.22% above TWAP threshold)	solomon-treasury-subcommittee
DP-00002: $1M SOLO acquisition + restricted incentives reserve	2026-03	Passed	solomon-solo-acquisition

DP-00001 details: $150K capped legal/compliance budget in segregated wallet. Pre-formation treasury subcommittee with 4 designates. Staged approach: (1) legal foundation → (2) policy framework → (3) delegated authority. No authority to move general funds yet.

DP-00002 details: $1M USDC to acquire SOLO at max $0.74. Tokens held in restricted reserve for future incentive programs (Pips program has first call). Cannot be self-dealt, lent, pledged, or used for compensation without governance approval.

Why Solomon Matters for MetaDAO

Solomon is the strongest existence proof that futarchy-governed organizations can build real corporate governance infrastructure. The staged approach — legal first, then policy, then delegated authority — mirrors how traditional startups formalize governance, but every step requires market-based approval rather than board votes. If Solomon ships USDv at scale with 20%+ yields and proper governance, it validates the entire ownership coin model.

Open Questions

Ethena comparison. USDv uses the same basis trade strategy as Ethena's USDe. What's the structural advantage beyond decentralized governance? Scale matters for basis trade profitability.
"Hedge fund in disguise?" Meme Insider questioned whether USDv is just a hedge fund wrapped in stablecoin branding. The counter: transparent governance + T-bill integration + YaaS distribution make it structurally different from an opaque fund.
Low secondary liquidity. $53/day volume despite $8M raise suggests most holders are passive. Does the market believe in the product or was this an oversubscription-driven allocation play?
