m3taversal 018ee566e2 rio: standardize all 10 ownership coin entities with portfolio dashboard schema 
- What: Rewrote all 10 ownership coin entity files (mtnCapital, OmniPair, Umbra,
  Avici, Loyal, ZKFG, Paystream/PAYS, Solomon/SOLO, Ranger, P2P.me) with
  standardized frontmatter schema for dashboard consumption. Deduplicated
  9 redundant files (Ranger had 4, P2P had 4, Umbra had 2, OmniPair had 2).
  Updated all wiki links across decisions/, sectors/, and entities/ to point
  to canonical files.
- Why: m3ta requested portfolio dashboard. Entity stubs had near-zero structured
  data. Dashboard rendering requires standardized schema with raise amounts,
  token addresses, traction metrics, and chain data.
- Gaps flagged: Token addresses for 5 coins, treasury multisig addresses for all 10,
  LP pool addresses, mtnCapital raise details. Phase 2 cron script will auto-fill
  on-chain numerics.

MetaDAO Ranger Finance Liquidation

Date: March 13, 2026
Status: Passed
Category: Liquidation
Parent Entity: metadao
Affected Project: ranger-protocol

Decision Summary

MetaDAO's futarchy governance voted to liquidate Ranger Finance following documented material misrepresentation during its ICO, returning $5,047,250 USDC to unlocked RNGR token holders.

Background

Ranger Finance raised approximately $8M on MetaDAO's ICO platform with specific performance claims:

  • Claimed: $5 billion in trading volume by 2025
  • Claimed: $2 million in revenue by 2025
  • Actual: ~$2 billion in trading volume (~40% of claimed)
  • Actual: ~$500K in revenue (~25% of claimed)

Blockchain data revealed the discrepancy, and RNGR token holders filed challenges citing material misrepresentation.

Governance Process

  1. Token holders identified material misrepresentation through on-chain data analysis
  2. Conditional markets evaluated the liquidation proposal
  3. Markets produced decisive outcome (telegram sources claim 97% support with $581K traded, unverified)
  4. Liquidation executed with full treasury return

Outcome

  • Total Distribution: $5,047,250 USDC
  • Distribution Rate: ~$0.75-$0.82 per unlocked RNGR token (book value)
  • Snapshot Time: 8:00 AM UTC+8 on March 13, 2026
  • Portal Launch: March 17, 2026
  • IP Disposition: All intellectual property returned to Glint House PTE (founding team)

Significance

This is the second successful futarchy-governed liquidation at MetaDAO (after mtnCapital in September 2025), establishing a two-case empirical pattern for the trustless joint ownership mechanism. The decision demonstrates that:

  1. The "Unruggable ICO" protection mechanism can enforce capital return post-discovery
  2. Futarchy governance can correct material misrepresentation after it's identified
  3. Minority token holders can successfully force liquidation against teams with information advantages

However, the case also reveals a scope limitation: the futarchy market selected Ranger during ICO without pricing in the false volume claims, suggesting the mechanism is better at enforcing governance decisions than at pre-launch due diligence.

Market Activity

Telegram sources (unverified through web sources) report:

  • 97% support for liquidation
  • $581K traded on conditional markets

If accurate, this would represent the highest-volume governance decision in MetaDAO history for a single-project matter, far exceeding typical uncontested decision volumes.
