# FutureDAO: Fund the Rug Bounty Program

## Summary
Proposal to allocate $5,000 USDC from FutureDAO treasury to develop RugBounty.xyz, a platform that incentivizes community members to onboard rugged project victims to FutureDAO's Token Migration tool. The program creates bounties for successful migrations (defined as raising over 60% of presale target in SOL), positioning FutureDAO as "Solana's Emergency Response Team (S.E.R.T.)".

## Mechanism Design
The Rug Bounty Program creates a structured recovery process:
