- **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees
- **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."

# Send Arcade: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
Send Arcade attempted to raise $288,000 through Futardio to fund 11 months of operations for what they positioned as "the first casino operated by futarchy." The project emphasized fully on-chain games with zero backend, verifiable outcomes, and agent-friendly PvP revenue models. The raise failed to meet its minimum target, achieving only 40% subscription ($114,933 of $288,000), resulting in a refund to all participants.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
- **Raise Target:** $288,000
- **Total Committed:** $114,933
- **Oversubscription:** 0.40x
- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-04 to 2026-03-05)
- **Token:** $ARCADE
- **Performance Package:** 10%
## Significance
This represents a failed attempt to apply futarchy governance to casino operations and demonstrates the challenge of raising capital for gaming projects even with novel governance mechanisms. The 40% subscription rate suggests either insufficient market interest in futarchy-governed casinos, concerns about the team's execution capability post-Send token sunset, or general skepticism about real-money gaming on Solana. The project's emphasis on "owning the house" through token ownership and zero-backend architecture represents an attempt to differentiate from traditional online casinos.
## Technical Architecture
- Zero backend infrastructure
- Games fetch state directly from smart contracts
- Fully on-chain with verifiable outcomes
- Instant settlement
- Agent-friendly PvP revenue model
- 90% lower operating costs than traditional gaming studios
## Relationship to KB
- [[send-arcade]] — parent entity
- [[futardio]] — fundraising platform
- [[futarchy-governed-meme-coins-attract-speculative-capital-at-scale]] — attempted application to gaming

# Send Arcade
Send Arcade is a real-money casual gaming arcade built on Solana, positioning itself as the first casino operated by futarchy. Originally launched as the gaming arm of the Send Ecosystem ($SEND token) 1.5 years ago, the project became independent after the Send token was sunset in early 2026. The platform features fully on-chain games with zero backend infrastructure, verifiable outcomes, and instant settlement. Send Arcade raised $114,933 of a $288,000 target through Futardio before the raise was refunded.
## Timeline
- **2024-09** — Send Arcade launched under Send Ecosystem with $SEND token
- **2026-01** — Send token sunset, Send Arcade becomes independent
- **2026-03-04** — Futardio fundraise launched targeting $288,000 for 11-month runway
- **2026-03-05** — Fundraise closed with $114,933 committed, status: refunding
## Relationship to KB
- [[futardio]] — fundraising platform used
- [[futarchy-governed-meme-coins-attract-speculative-capital-at-scale]] — attempted to use futarchy for casino governance
- Part of Solana gaming ecosystem alongside [[domains/internet-finance/_map]]

extraction_notes: "Send Arcade fundraise failed to meet minimum target. This is a significant data point for futarchy-governed fundraising adoption but does not generate new claims. The project's technical architecture (zero backend, fully on-chain) and positioning (first futarchy-operated casino) are interesting but represent company marketing rather than validated mechanisms. Created entity pages for Send Arcade (company) and the fundraise decision market. No extractable claims - this is primarily factual data about a failed fundraise event."
