November 18, 2025, Solana’s momentum continues with the successful close of the Solomon Labs ICO. The $SOLO token will go live at 19:30 UTC, with claimants accessing tokens and refunds through MetaDAO’s interface. With more than 550,000 impressions and $1.5 million in Polymarket activity, the drop has captured market attention as Solana strengthens its position as a dollar-focused ecosystem. team has decided to cap the sale at $8,000,000. This sets the initial price to $0.8 and the initial FDV to $20,640,000. The launch received $102,932,673 in commitments, meaning that everyone will be refunded 92.2% of their committed USDC.

Solomon Labs is building the next generation of stablecoin infrastructure through USDv, a synthetic, yield-bearing dollar on Solana. Instead of sitting idle like traditional stablecoins, USDv channels returns through a delta-neutral basis engine paired with T-bill integrations, creating low-risk, on-chain earnings.

The system splits yield across two paths:
This architecture keeps balances light by updating only during transfers, reducing fees on Solana’s high-capacity chain.
The Solomon Labs ICO provides community ownership through the $SOLO token, which governs protocol upgrades and treasury allocation. With $5 million secured, Solomon now has resources to push USDv toward broader integrations with LPs, treasuries, and consumer fintech apps.
MetaDAO has quietly become the most influential launchpad on Solana. It flips the traditional venture model by allowing founders to raise capital from the community through transparent prediction markets and ownership-based commitments.
MetaDAO’s structure removes whitelists and private deals. Participants contribute USDC, receive proportional allocations, and influence governance through the META token.

With more than $17.6 million already raised across multiple launches, MetaDAO is establishing itself as Solana’s default hub for token distribution and futarchy-based decision making.
The success of the Solomon Labs ICO reinforces MetaDAO’s model of fairness, alignment, and community-driven capital formation.
Solana’s ecosystem is rapidly evolving into a high-volume settlement layer for stablecoin transactions. As daily volumes climb, the demand for stable assets that can generate return without risking capital grows deeper.
Yield-bearing stablecoins like USDv can unlock billions trapped in static assets. This aligns with the broader shift toward user-owned finance, where yield flows naturally to holders rather than centralized issuers.
The Solomon Labs ICO accelerates this trend by empowering communities to govern and benefit from these rails. With Solana’s low latency and dense blockspace, USDv can scale without UX friction.
The close of this ICO signals a transition from hype-based launches to utility-focused innovation. Solomon and MetaDAO present a model where protocols belong to users, where liquidity grows organically, and where yields reward participation instead of intermediaries.
Risks still exist. Synthetic dollar designs must navigate regulation and maintain yield stability during volatile markets. Yet Solomon’s architecture, built atop Solana’s low-cost environment, offers resilience.
As $SOLO begins trading, key catalysts include neobank integrations, LP deployments, and treasury onboarding. The Solomon Labs ICO is more than a raise. It is a shift toward infrastructure that lets users co-own the future of digital dollars.
Real voices. Real reactions.

$103M in commitments huge hype listing at 19:30 UTC if $2M is accepted FDV = (2M/10M)*25M = 5M price = 0.2$ if $4M commitments are accepted FDV = 10M price= 0.4$ if $8M USDCs are accepted FDV= 20M price = 0.8$/$SOLO team already said 2-4x USDCs in commitments may be https://t.co/3G1u0lMVMU
