# Fancy Cats

AI companion protocol on Solana positioning itself as "trainable, evolving intelligence" with breeding mechanics and on-chain scarcity. Raised through MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO platform with futarchy-governed treasury, DAO LLC IP ownership, and performance-vested founder tokens. Launch failed immediately with refunding status on same day as launch.

## Timeline
- **2026-02-25** — Futardio launch opened with $100 funding target
- **2026-02-25** — Launch closed and entered refunding status (same day)

## Relationship to KB
- [[MetaDAO is the futarchy launchpad on Solana where projects raise capital through unruggable ICOs governed by conditional markets creating the first platform for ownership coins at scale]] — used this platform
- [[futarchy-governed permissionless launches require brand separation to manage reputational liability because failed projects on a curated platform damage the platforms credibility]] — example of failed launch on curated platform
