MetaDAO's ownership coin model enables ICO-style fundraising via airdrops or allocations, granting holders enforceable rights over treasuries and decisions through futarchy—a prediction market governance system. Users stake on proposal outcomes (e.g., "pass" vs. "fail" markets), where higher-valued markets dictate actions, aligning incentives with value creation. Participation in governance is decisive for returns: Active traders influence capital allocation, preventing rugs and optimizing strategies, directly boosting token value. Non-participants risk dilution or missed opportunities. Cases: Umbra: Raised $155M (207x oversubscribed); governance markets drove 700% post-ICO gains via efficient treasury use. mtnCapital: Failed business but futarchy enabled orderly wind-down, returning value to holders. Solomon Labs: 50x oversubscribed $2M raise; market-driven decisions yielded 9.7x average ATH returns across MetaDAO projects.

Ethereum's Pectra upgrade, implemented in 2025, enhances gas economics by increasing calldata costs (EIP-7623) to promote blob-based data availability, boosting blob throughput and reducing overall transaction fees. Blob usage rose 21%, with prices dropping to near-zero (~1 wei), making Layer-2 rollups more efficient and affordable. This lowers user costs, potentially attracting more dApps and users, fostering ecosystem growth. For investors, improved scalability could drive ETH adoption, tightening supply via increased staking (e.g., auto-compounding rewards) and higher validator participation. However, higher calldata fees might initially pressure data-heavy transactions. Overall, Pectra positions ETH for long-term value appreciation amid reduced fees and enhanced efficiency.
