# LobsterFutarchy: Futardio ICO Launch

## Summary

LobsterFutarchy attempted to raise $500,000 on Futardio to build a control plane for agentic finance -- secure, on-chain-enforceable sandboxes for AI agents to operate with real money under programmable rules. The raise attracted only $1,183 in commitments (0.2% of target), the lowest fill rate in this batch, and triggered refunds. The $500K target was the highest among this group of failed launches.

## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding)
- **Total Committed:** $1,183
- **Funding Target:** $500,000
- **Fill Rate:** 0.2%
- **Duration:** 2026-03-06 to 2026-03-07

## Significance

LobsterFutarchy positioned itself at the intersection of agentic AI and on-chain finance infrastructure, a thesis aligned with emerging trends around AI agents managing financial operations. The near-zero fill rate despite a timely narrative suggests that Futardio's investor pool cannot support raises above a few thousand dollars, regardless of proposal quality or narrative alignment. The $500K target was particularly ambitious given the platform's demonstrated capacity.

Overview

A world of financial agents is coming.

In the next phase of the internet, every person will have an agent managing parts of their financial life, and every company will have fleets of agents handling operations, treasury actions, payments, trading, forecasting, and execution. As major players like Circle and Visa push toward agent-native payment infrastructure and intelligent card systems, the question stops being whether agents will control money. The real question becomes: how do you let them act freely without losing control?

LobsterFutarchy is the control plane for that world.

It gives individuals, teams, and onchain organizations a way to sandbox agents inside secure, onchain-enforceable financial environments. Instead of giving an agent open-ended wallet access, LobsterFutarchy lets users define clear rules around what an agent can do, who it can interact with, how much it can spend, under what conditions it can act, and when human or governance approval is required.

This makes agents not just useful, but safe enough to become real economic actors.

With LobsterFutarchy, agents can operate with real money under rules enforced by blockchain-based policy rails. They can be expressive, autonomous, and always bounded by code. Teams can use presets and templates to automate workflows like yield strategies, treasury operations, prediction market participation, rebalancing, and other recurring financial tasks. Over time, this extends beyond crypto-native actions into a broader system for personal and business financial automation.

The long-term vision is simple:
every agent gets a wallet, every wallet gets rules, and every rule is enforceable onchain.

Use of Funds

We are raising $480,000 to fund 12 months of runway and accelerate product development, infrastructure hardening, and ecosystem growth.

Monthly Burn Estimate
- Team: $35,000/month
Core product development, smart account integrations, security engineering, design, and protocol execution
- Infrastructure: $5,000/month
RPCs, indexing, monitoring, compute, storage, and production-grade operational tooling
- Growth & Marketing: $5,000/month
Developer adoption, partner integrations, ecosystem education, content, and launch support

Total Monthly Burn

$45,000/month

Runway

12 months

The goal of this funding is to give LobsterFutarchy enough runway to ship the core control plane, harden the safety layer, expand chain support, and establish itself as the default framework for secure agentic finance.

Roadmap & Milestones

Phase 1 - Wallet, Safety, and Multi-Chain Foundation

Goal: Ship a production control plane for agent execution with strong safety guarantees.

Key deliverables:
- Agent wallet provisioning
- Safe-based wallet support
- Solana support with Squads multisig integration
- Role presets and spend limits
- Session key issuance and revocation
- Timelocks and guard controls
- Sponsored gas policy settings
- Audit-ready activity logs
- Policy templates for common autonomous workflows

Outcome:
Teams and individuals can deploy agents with real financial permissions from day one, while maintaining clear visibility and enforceable safety boundaries.

Target timeline:
Initial launch phase

---

Phase 2 - Futarchy Governance and Raise Flows

Goal: Connect treasury execution and autonomous actions to market-governed decision systems.

Key deliverables:
- Proposal-to-execution workflow
- Conditional market outcome hooks
- Ownership coin launch and treasury policy templates
- Raise guardrails with transparent capital controls
- Governance-controlled escalation paths for agent permissions

Outcome:
Markets can shape direction while execution remains constrained by transparent policy rails.

Target timeline:
Q2 after Phase 1 hardening

---

Phase 3 - Autonomous Execution Networks

Goal: Move from agent assistance to bounded autonomous financial execution at scale.

Key deliverables:
- Agent strategy packs with policy presets
- Yield, treasury, and prediction market automation modules
- Data signal adapters and compute controls
- Cross-protocol and cross-chain execution templates
- Optional edge and device execution paths
- Expanded presets for personal and business financial workflows

Outcome:
Agents can perform real economic work across onchain and real-money contexts while operating within strict, programmable limits defined by users, teams, or governance.

Target timeline:
Q3 and beyond

Market & Differentiation

Target Market

LobsterFutarchy sits at the intersection of:
- Agentic finance
- Onchain governance and treasury management
- Wallet permissions and smart account infrastructure
- Decision-market coordination
- Business and personal financial automation

Potential Users
- Crypto founders running transparent raises and treasury operations
- Onchain organizations coordinating capital through governance
- Teams deploying internal financial agents for recurring tasks
- Traders and operators automating bounded strategies
- Individuals using agents for personal financial execution
- Protocols that need auditable, rule-based agent activity

Competitive Landscape

Most existing products solve only one part of the stack:
- Wallet tools provide access but not granular autonomous controls
- Automation tools allow execution but lack enforceable financial policy rails
- Governance tools coordinate decisions but do not guarantee constrained execution
- Agent infrastructure gives intelligence but not secure financial sandboxing

Competitive Edge

LobsterFutarchy is built around a core belief: agents need financial freedom, but only inside programmable constraints.

Its advantages are:
- Secure sandboxing for financial agents
- Onchain-enforceable rules around counterparties, spend, permissions, and workflows
- Wallet + policy engine + execution templates in one system
- Revocable autonomy through session keys and bounded permissions
- Support for both organizational and personal financial agents
- A bridge between agent intelligence and real-money execution

Go-To-Market Strategy

LobsterFutarchy grows through:
- Founder-led launches using treasury and automation presets
- Integrations with wallet, payments, data, and agent infrastructure partners
- Community-created policy packs and strategy templates
- Public examples of transparent treasury and agent operations
- Positioning around the emerging financial-agent stack as the market matures

The objective is to become the default control layer for agentic finance, giving every person, company, and onchain organization the tools to let agents operate with real money safely.
