Crypto is slowly but surely entering a golden era, where tokens are finally being valued for the rights and protections they offer holders. Participation in upside and protection from downside are now top-of-mind concerns, not something to be dismissed.

Futarchy

Futarchy is the most promising experiment in on-chain governance. Other DAO models (i.e., token voting or committee structures) may be simpler, but they’ve shown clear, consistent flaws. Paired with the right legal structure, futarchy offers a strong model for tokens as direct tools to own crypto-native businesses. Founders can utilize futarchy as an ownership model on star, made possible via partnership with Combinator.

How does it work?

  • Fundraises happen on star. We work with teams to define starting monthly allowances and the legal structure that grants futarchic governance over the protocol and IP.
  • After each raise, tokens are minted and liquidity is transferred to Combinator’s AMM to create the LP and team treasury. Mint authority, treasury transactions, LP control, and protocol/IP rights will sit under futarchic control.
  • Decision markets will be created and traded via Combinator’s platform, soon to be integrated into the star UI.
The end result? Tokens that give true ownership and protection from downside risks. On Ownership Models: Our goal is to expand the network of ownership partners. If you are building something exciting in this space, do reach out.
