extraction_notes: "Failed fundraise with extreme undersubscription (98.4% shortfall). No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or market dynamics — this is purely factual entity data about a failed launch. The project proposed standard Web3 storage architecture (decentralized storage + on-chain access control) but failed to attract capital. Significance threshold met despite failure due to being a documented futarchy-governed fundraise on established platform."

## Team / Description

## **About SeekerVault**

**SeekerVault** is a decentralized data sovereignty and monetization protocol built natively for the **Solana Seeker**. It serves as the bridge between secure Web3 hardware and truly decentralized software, ensuring that your digital life—backups, private files, and premium content—remains entirely under your control.

### **Our Mission**

To empower the 150,000+ Seeker owners to own their data as securely as they own their private keys. We believe that a "decentralized phone" is only as sovereign as its storage layer. Our goal is to eliminate the forced dependency on centralized cloud storage providers .

---

### **How It Works**

SeekerVault leverages a cutting-edge, "un-deplatformable" technical stack that combines high-capacity storage with decentralized secrets management:

* **The Storage Layer:** We utilize the **Walrus** protocol to ensure your data is distributed across a decentralized network, making it resilient to hardware failure or censorship.
* **The Security Layer (DSM):** We integrate **Seal** for Decentralized Secrets Management. Seal relies on access control policies defined and validated on the **Sui blockchain**. This ensures that encryption and decryption are governed by on-chain logic, removing any single point of failure.
* **The Monetization Layer:** We turn storage into a business. Creators can launch token-gated **Content Vaults**, allowing them to sell access to private files, media, and research directly to their audience without Web2 middlemen.

---

### **Why SeekerVault?**

* **Privacy by Default:** All cryptographic operations are managed by **Seal** and executed securely on your Seeker device. By utilizing the device's **Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)**, we ensure that your identity-based keys are never exposed to the operating system or unauthorized apps.
* **Incentivized Security:** Through our **Point Streaking** model, we reward users for migrating their sensitive data from centralized clouds to the SeekerVault ecosystem. Top "streakers" earn a percentage of subscription revenue.
* **Predictable Economics:** A simple subscription model—**20MB free** and **100GB for $10/month** (payable in SKR)—abstracts the complexity of blockchain gas fees into a familiar user experience.

## **Use of Funds**

### **Monthly Burn Breakdown — Team, Infra, Marketing, and Runway**

We are seeking **$75,000** to fund **6 months** of operations, taking SeekerVault from dApp store entry to a fully functional decentralized content marketplace.

| Category | Monthly Allocation | Key Details |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Team** | **$4,000** | Core engineering and product management for Solana/Sui integration and TEE optimization. |
| **Infrastructure** | **$5,000** | Operation of **Walrus** publisher nodes and  **Seal**  for decentralized encryption/decryption. |
| **Marketing** | **$1,000** | Community growth |
| **Total Monthly Burn** | **$10,000** |  |

* **Runway:** **6 Months** .

## **Roadmap & Milestones**

### **Key Deliverables with Target Dates**

#### **March 2026: Ecosystem Access & Entry**

* **Solana dApp Store Listing:** Native accessibility for all Seeker devices (currently in review).
* **Storage Subscription Launch:** Deployment of the tiered storage model:
* **20MB Free:** Entry-level tier for all Seeker users to test the **Seal** encryption flow.
* **100GB Pro ($10):** High-capacity Backup payable in **SKR** or **SKV** (SeekerVault token).



#### **Q2 2026: The Monetization Layer**

* **Online Content Subscription Service:** Enabling creators to launch token-gated "Vaults" where fans pay to unlock exclusive encrypted files.
* **Permissioned Sharing:** Utilizing **Seal** access policies to automate identity-based decryption for subscribers via threshold cryptography.

#### **Q3 2026: The Marketplace**

* **Data Store Front:** Launch of the decentralized storefront where users can list, discover, and sell digital content (research, media, datasets) directly on-chain.

---

## **Market & Differentiation**

### **Target Market, Competitive Edge, and Go-To-Market**

### **Target Market**

* **The 150k+ Seeker Community:** Primary acquisition of users who purchased decentralized hardware but currently rely on centralized file backups.
* **Web3 Creators:** Alpha groups and digital creators seeking an **un-deplatformable** subscription and data-delivery model.

### **Competitive Edge**

* **Decentralized-First Architecture:** Unlike standard cloud options, SeekerVault leverages **Walrus** for data storage and **Seal** for the encryption/decryption layer. This ensures a truly un-deplatformable stack where no single entity holds the keys.
* **Hardware Synergy:** Deep integration with the Seeker device, providing a seamless mobile UX that generic web3 storage protocols cannot replicate.
* **Low Friction / High Security:** Identity-based encryption (via Seal) allows users to secure data as easily as a standard login, but with the security of threshold cryptography.

### **Go-to-Market (GTM)**

* **The "Hook" Strategy:** Every Seeker user gets **20MB free** to experience the speed of decentralized backup instantly. Upgrading to the **100GB / $10** plan is a one-click process.
* **Incentivized Migration (Point Streaking):** Users earn points daily for securing their files with SeekerVault. At the end of each cycle, the top 100 "streakers" earn a percentage of that cycle’s subscription revenue.
* **The Creator Flywheel:** By leading with the **Online Content Subscription Service**, every creator who shares a link to their "Vault" acts as an organic user acquisition channel for the SeekerVault ecosystem.
