+# Open Music: Artist-First Streaming Fundraise
+
+## Summary
+
+Futarchy-governed fundraise for Open Music, a Solana-based music streaming platform proposing to replace Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments. Targeted $250K for 10-month runway but raised only $27.5K (11% of target) before entering refund status within 24 hours of launch.
+
+## Market Data
+
+- **Outcome:** Failed (REFUNDING)
+- **Launch:** 2026-03-03
+- **Closed:** 2026-03-04
+- **Capital Committed:** $27,533 / $250,000 (11%)
+- **Token:** 4Hj
+- **Token Mint:** 4HjXkVLJhURqVcJEjnHoWBSVv1AnCzQnZ9cW7LxTmeta
+- **Launch Address:** 4R1peXdUehAS1aWCdnrBfLRevGktsKH2euvBLdsYXbWu
+
+## Proposal Details
+
+**Use of Funds:**
+- Engineering (2 devs + 1 hire): $18K/month (72%)
+- Infrastructure & Solana RPC: $4K/month (16%)
+- Growth & Artist Acquisition: $2K/month (8%)
+- Legal, Ops & Contingency: $1K/month (4%)
+- Total monthly burn: $25K
+- Target runway: ~10 months
+
+**Value Proposition:**
+- Replace Spotify's pro-rata pool with direct listener-to-artist allocation
+- Reduce platform cut from ~30% (Spotify) to 10%
+- Increase artist revenue: $9/month (Spotify, 100 fans) → $128/month (Open Music, 100 fans)
+- AI-powered sonic discovery replacing label-budget promotion
+- Artist audience ownership (no platform intermediation)
+
+**Traction:**
+- MVP live at openmusic.art
+- Artist upload and USDC payout functional
+- Early artist onboarding in progress
+- No disclosed user/artist metrics
+
+## Significance
+
+First entertainment/creator economy vertical on Futardio beyond DeFi and meme coins. The rapid failure (24-hour launch-to-refund) suggests futarchy-governed raises face significant variance based on product category and narrative strength. Unlike CULT's $11.4M single-day raise, Open Music failed to attract sufficient speculative or mission-aligned capital despite comparable platform mechanics.
+
+The outcome raises questions about:
+1. Whether futarchy governance adds credibility to non-financial use cases
+2. Market appetite for Spotify alternatives without existing user traction
+3. Minimum viable community size for successful futarchy launches

 - **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."

+# Open Music
+
+Artist-first music streaming platform built on Solana that attempted to replace Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments. Launched futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio in March 2026, raising only $27.5K of $250K target before entering refund status within 24 hours.
+
+## Overview
+
+Open Music proposed a subscription streaming model where each subscriber's payment goes only to artists they personally listened to that month, rather than being pooled across all platform streams. The platform claimed this would increase artist payouts from ~$9/month (Spotify, 100 fans) to ~$128/month (Open Music, 100 fans) by eliminating the pro-rata dilution effect and reducing platform cut from ~30% to 10%.
+
+The team consisted of two full-stack developers building end-to-end product including Solana payment infrastructure, AI-powered sonic discovery, and artist dashboard. MVP was live at openmusic.art with basic upload and payment functionality.
+
+The futarchy-governed raise targeted $250K for ~10 months runway at $25K/month burn (72% engineering, 16% infrastructure, 8% growth, 4% ops/legal). The launch failed to attract sufficient capital, suggesting either market skepticism of the direct payment model's viability against Spotify's network effects, or insufficient community/artist traction to validate the thesis.

No novel claims about futarchy mechanics, but provides important enrichment data on category variance and capital attraction. Entity extraction includes both company (Open Music) and decision market (the fundraise itself) per schema requirements."
