Their pivot from perps/spot trading to pure vault strategy happened under futarchy oversight. Key data: $1.13M+ paid to depositors all-time, $17.7K weekly payouts across 9 vaults. Build-A-Bear hackathon offering $1M seed funding. The liquidation event ($5M USDC returned) is already well-documented in other archives — Ranger's own account shows the project perspective on being governed by markets.	Ranger's strategic pivot (perps → vaults) under futarchy governance — evidence for how market oversight shapes project strategy Vault payout data ($1.13M all-time) — concrete DeFi performance metrics Build-A-Bear hackathon ($1M seed) — capital allocation through ecosystem development Enrichment target: 'futarchy-governed liquidation is the enforcement mechanism' — Ranger is THE case study Potential new claim: futarchy governance forces strategic focus by making underperformance visible and actionable	medium	rio	2026-03-10	futarchy-governed-liquidation-is-the-enforcement-mechanism-that-makes-unruggable-icos-credible-because-investors-can-force-full-treasury-return-when-teams-materially-represent.md	minimax/minimax-m2.5	Ranger case study confirms existing claim about futarchy-governed liquidation as enforcement mechanism. This is the first real-world enforcement event in MetaDAO, making the abstract claim concrete. Vault performance data ($1.13M all-time, $17.7K weekly) and strategic pivot under governance pressure are factual data points, not novel claims. Build-A-Bear hackathon ($1M seed) is ecosystem development activity, not relevant to existing claims.
