## Content

Solar is a Chrome extension AI wallet for Solana, launching on Futardio April 11, 2026.

**Pitch:** Natural language to signed blockchain transactions. User types "swap 50 USDC for SOL" — AI handles execution. Local key management (private keys stay local). Works inside browser as extension.

**Funding target:** $150,000
**Committed at launch:** $500 (0.3% of goal)
**FDV:** $344k
**Burn rate:** $14,000/month (2 engineers + designer + infra + marketing)
**Runway at target:** ~10-11 months

**Roadmap:** Chrome extension launch May 2026; workflows June 2026; private ZK transfers August 2026; mobile Q4 2026; DeFi integrations (Kamino, Drift, Marginfi) Q1 2027.

**Competitive context:** Solflare has launched "Magic" — a natural language AI interface. Solana Foundation predicts 99.99% of on-chain transactions will be AI-driven within two years. The AI wallet space is being entered by multiple incumbents.

**Web presence:** Zero external coverage, no social media presence indexed, no Chrome Web Store listing. Team identity not public. Website: yourwallet.solar (not indexed in search).

## Agent Notes

**Why this matters:** As the only active Futardio launch on April 11, Solar is the current empirical data point for MetaDAO's fundraising mechanism. The cold launch pattern ($500 on day 1 with no community preparation) is worth tracking — previous outliers (Superclaw, Futardio cult) generated rapid early momentum from existing community. Solar shows no early signal of that pattern.

**What surprised me:** The complete absence of web presence. Zero external coverage despite launching publicly. This is either deliberate stealth launch strategy or simply a team without a pre-built community — both of which would predict a refund outcome.

**What I expected but didn't find:** Any prior announcement, social media campaign, or community engagement indicating pre-launch interest.

**KB connections:**
- `access-friction-functions-as-a-natural-conviction-filter-in-token-launches` — Solar's zero-friction cold launch tests whether futarchy mechanism itself generates conviction without pre-launch filtering
- `consumer-crypto-adoption-requires-apps-optimized-for-earning-and-belonging-not-speculation` — Solar is a utility product (reduce transaction friction) rather than earning/belonging; may face adoption headwind
- `Futardio platform bimodal distribution` — Solar is likely to become another refund data point

**Extraction hints:**
- Low priority for claim extraction — single data point with insufficient differentiation from "another project launched on Futardio"
- If Solar either significantly overfunds or dramatically underfunds vs. comparable AI wallet launches, revisit
- Worth a follow-up check in 6 days (end of launch window) to confirm outcome

## Curator Notes

PRIMARY CONNECTION: `MetaDAO empirical results show smaller participants gaining influence through futarchy`
WHY ARCHIVED: As the only active Futardio launch on session date, provides real-time ecosystem data point. The cold-launch-with-zero-community pattern is notable given existing outliers launched with community momentum.
EXTRACTION HINT: Low extraction priority. More useful as follow-up tracking data. Check outcome in 6 days.
