- **2026-03-07** — Areal DAO launch: $50K target, raised $11,654 (23.3%), REFUNDING status by 2026-03-08 — first documented failed futarchy-governed fundraise on platform

- **2026-03-05** — [[torch-market]] launched fundraise targeting $75,000, entered refunding status next day
## Competitive Position
- **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."

extraction_notes: "Single failed fundraise launch. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or market dynamics. Entity extraction only - the project had technical completion (formal verification, audit, live product) but failed to attract capital through futarchy launch. Significance threshold met due to being a data point on futarchy-governed fundraise outcomes, but no arguable propositions beyond what existing claims already cover about futarchy adoption friction and launch dynamics."
