A new Umbra is coming. V2 arrives in Q4, with a much bigger vision for @UmbraPrivacy. V1 proved that demand for onchain privacy is real. With V2, Umbra aims to become a complete privacy stack for every financial asset. What to expect: - Transfers and swaps will become 10x to 15x faster - Multi-asset shielded pools will bring borrowing, yield farming, payments and transactions under one privacy layer As Umbra evolves into an infrastructure network, more advanced compliance tools will make integrations with other projects easier. And of course, the token will keep its special place, with an even stronger role in Umbra V2. We’ll learn more about the network architecture as we get closer to the release. Perhaps the best way to put it is this: Umbra will make privacy fast, safe, and easy enough for anyone to use.

"Real businesses could bring the next wave of capital onchain" Ansem on what makes @crediblefin one of the most interesting businesses bringing ownership onchain through @MetaDAOProject: “They’re making a good amount of money right now. It’s actually a real business, a real startup, and the token is completely aligned with the equity.” “If people see those startups doing well, that’s what is going to attract a lot more institutional capital into the space.” - @blknoiz06 MetaDAO is making the onchain market bigger than speculation by opening it to real businesses, real revenue, and aligned ownership.

“You’re either going to win big or you’re going to lose” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, at the MetaDAO Inaugural Ownership Meeting on why the team chose a permissionless raise despite the odds: “There have been around 50 raises, 45 failed, and the five that succeeded became heavily oversubscribed. It’s a mixed bag” “My co-founder @Sora_i_guess was skeptical, so we spoke with every launchpad we could but nothing was really as good as @MetaDAOProject” “Jurassic was not a project yet, it was just an idea” “Tokenizing dinosaurs was simple, easy to explain, and something people could rally around” “What MetaDAO and @futarddotio gave us was a way for people to back two guys with an idea, no background in dinosaurs, and no track record as crypto founders” “People could trust that we weren’t going to rug, but there was really no trust required because we couldn’t rug” - @vukan0x Permissionless ownership gave Jurassic Finance the chance to test the idea, raise its first capital, and start building it into something real

my favorite online event of this month save the date: 28th august, 7pm utc ownership roadshow #4#. live shark-tank style show for solana teams raising in the @MetaDAOProject / @futarddotio ecosystem DM me to participate or join as a judge!

“I came to Colosseum for Frontier and said, no, we’re not raising” Hunter, Founder of @LasoFinance, at the MetaDAO Inaugural Ownership Meeting on how reading the @MetaDAOProject docs changed that decision: “Laso was already cash-flowing, so it didn’t necessarily need VC funding” “We had also been approached by teams to do an ICO, but it involved complicated market making to stabilize the chart” “Even if you achieve that, the token is still totally divorced from the equity of the business” “Then the @colosseum team introduced me to @metaproph3t and @0xMista, and I read the MetaDAO docs and it immediately clicked” “Your holders have a claim on the direction of what is built, but it doesn’t devolve into bureaucracy like some DAOs have in the past” “As Proph3t mentioned, for a consumer business like Laso, having the token as a marketing wedge is extremely valuable” - @huntermmonk Laso Finance is building private financial rails for humans and AI agents, enabling wallet-funded prepaid cards, gift cards, and bank transfers without identity verification

Attention is one of the hardest things for a founder to earn “Ownership coins are the best call to action after attention” Ranga, Co-Founder of Solomon Labs, on why attention alone is not enough for founders at the MetaDAO Inaugural Ownership Meeting: “Your job as a founder is to create as many moments of attention as possible” “But attention is always fleeting. How do you properly capture that attention and convert it into something real?” “That’s where the ownership concept really made a lot of sense” - @oxranga Through @MetaDAOProject, the attention around a raise becomes trusted ownership, giving holders something real and aligning the company with its token

“Two ADHD energy-powered kids and three icons.” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, explains how a lean team covers every layer of the business at the @MetaDAOProject Owners Meeting: “@Sora_i_guess spent three years in marketing at an RWA project that tokenized farmland commodities on Ethereum. It was super cool, but in 2021, it was simply too early.” “I run my own marketing agency and work with @8bitpenis on Ownership Media. Then we have three advisers, each an icon in their own segment.” “Rob brings experience across collectibles and alternative assets. Tzvi works across Solana, tokenization, and RWAs. Wang has spent around 30 years in paleontology.” “When we want to scale and acquire more assets, we really don’t need to keep hiring. We already have two ADHD energy-powered kids and three specialists covering each part of the model.” - @vukan0x Jurassic Finance is building with a compact team spanning marketing, tokenization, alternative assets, and deep paleontology expertise.

we’ve been having so much fun on the futardio cult account, and the market seems to be loving it! both the price and previous decision markets next step is to open a proposal that mints tokens to be sold as solana:Cbjr1Nvcay3QWDriyRKtokJ7V4PMknesGxeK8z7Zmeta pumps monetize the attention we’re getting and putting it back into the treasury for more growth experiments

“You want to own something no one else can own.” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, explains why dinosaurs are the starting point for a much larger cultural-asset thesis at the @MetaDAOProject Owners Meeting: “Dinosaurs are easy to understand and easy to sell. Most people grew up watching them, playing with them, and wearing them on everything. Now they’re older, have more money, and the nostalgia is still there.” “But dinosaurs are only the proof of concept. I’m interested in cultural assets like Michael Jackson’s shoes or Mbappé’s World Cup-winning boots.” “As AI makes images, status symbols, and even luxury increasingly easy to imitate, owning another car or watch becomes less meaningful.” “One-of-one cultural assets are different. They carry history, scarcity, and a story that cannot be generated. In a few years, it may not be cool to own another Lamborghini or Rolex. You’ll want to own something no one else can own.” - @vukan0x Jurassic Finance is starting with dinosaurs, but the larger vision is to bring the world’s most culturally significant one-of-one assets on-chain.

“In the first hour, 50% was done. In three hours, the raise was complete.” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, explains how early commitments created momentum for the project’s raise at the @MetaDAOProject Owners Meeting: “We built traction through two campaigns, then reached out across our Telegram groups and to different funds for commitments we could count on from the first hour. Once 50% was filled in the first hour and the raise was completed within three hours, the momentum compounded. We reached $2M in commitments within 24 hours and eventually finished with $15M. We also took 50% of the performance package and used just 3% to bring on three advisers under the same unlock terms as the team. That added expertise across rare spirits, alternative assets, and more than 30 years of experience in paleontology and the dinosaur market. The performance package can be one of the strongest tools for attracting people who materially improve the business.” - @vukan0x Jurassic Finance turned early conviction into visible momentum, then used its long-term incentives to bring specialized expertise into the company.

“Attention is just speculation until it becomes pre-commitments.” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, shares the strategy behind the project’s $200K raise at the @MetaDAOProject Owners Meeting 2026: “We chose to raise as little as possible while still giving ourselves 12 to 18 months of runway. For us, that was $200K. Four short, 30-second videos generated around 15 million impressions before the raise. But attention alone is just Twitter numbers. We used that momentum to secure pre-commitments before the raise started. For any team looking to raise six figures, I would aim for at least 50% in pre-commitments. If you generate all that hype but do not show meaningful capital on the first day, people may start questioning whether the engagement was real. You need to turn attention into pre-commitments, then make sure those commitments deploy when the raise opens.” - @vukan0x Jurassic Finance’s approach was deliberate: raise only what the project needed, build attention before launch, convert it into committed capital, and enter the raise with momentum already in place.

“The connections aren’t the problem. It’s finding the right specimen at the right price.” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, explains how the team sources dinosaur fossils before bringing them on-chain: “Usually, someone with a dinosaur head takes it to an auction house like Sotheby’s. Bidders compete, the buyer pays a fee, and the asset clears through the auction.” “That’s how we initially planned to approach it, but we realized there’s a much better way. We can work directly with private sellers, remove much of the bureaucracy, and make the process smoother.” “We already have offers and conversations underway. Our Sotheby’s adviser has the connections, so the real task is finding the right specimen at the right price.” “Once we find it, we open the raise, acquire the fossil, and verify its authenticity.” - @vukan0x Jurassic Finance is building a direct path from private fossil markets to on-chain ownership, handling sourcing, acquisition, and verification before an asset reaches its owners.

“You can turn an illiquid dinosaur into a revenue-generating asset.” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, shares alpha on what comes after the first Triceratops at the @MetaDAOProject Owners Meeting 2026: “We’re working on our first Triceratops now. The next step is partial tokenization. We’re speaking with the owners of the largest Triceratops head in Europe, currently held by two family offices. We want to tokenize 50% of it by representing the contractual rights to half of the dinosaur. That could unlock a lot for anyone holding an illiquid dinosaur, allowing them to turn part of it into a revenue-generating asset.” “Beyond that, we want to invest in dig sites. Imagine crowdfunding $5M to buy a site that’s already 60% complete. It’s a long process that can take years, but the upside could be 10x if the dig produces a major dinosaur or exceptionally rare bones that later go to auction.” That’s the three-part model: acquiring complete fossils → partially tokenizing existing assets → and funding new discoveries at the source “$RAWR also launched on MetaDAO last week. Right after Avici, JurassicFi is the best-performing coin since its ICO.” - @vukan0x  Jurassic Finance is expanding beyond acquiring finished fossils, building a model that can unlock liquidity from existing collections and finance valuable discoveries before they ever reach the auction floor.

“Dinosaurs are our 2024 election moment.” Vukan, Co-Founder of @JurassicFi, explains why dinosaurs are only the entry point for a much larger vision: “Polymarket became massive because of the 2024 election. For what we’re building, dinosaurs can be that same breakthrough moment. We’re starting with dinosaurs, but we love history. Imagine tokenizing Napoleon’s hat, Winston Churchill’s signed documents or passport, or swords from the Crusades worth $5M or $6M. These assets are culturally significant, scarce, and valuable. They can be displayed in museums, tokenized, appreciate over time, and still remain available for private investors to acquire. We’re looking far beyond dinosaurs. But first, we need to stay locked in, prove what we can do with marketing and distribution, and execute on the goals we’ve set for the next six months.” - @vukan0x Dinosaurs are Jurassic Finance’s entry point into a broader market for tokenized historical assets, with the long-term goal of bringing culturally important collectibles on-chain.
