rio: rewrite oversubscription claim — capital cycling not governance validation
- 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.

# 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.
