The project positioned itself as replacing Google Drive/iCloud with decentralized storage (Walrus + Seal), with a roadmap including AI agent memory storage, creator content vaults, and a data marketplace. The raise failed to reach its target, collecting only $2,095 before entering refunding status. + +## Market Data +- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding) +- **Raise Target:** $50,000 +- **Total Committed:** $2,095 (4.2% of target) +- **Proposers:** gbflarcos, Beardkoda +- **Launch Date:** 2026-03-08 +- **Close Date:** 2026-03-09 +- **Token:** J4r (J4rMkvf4qwJgX2nK3ueeL4E423chSG2jVqgk5LAGmeta) + +## Proposed Use of Funds +- Engineering: $4,000/month +- Infrastructure: $3,000/month (Walrus nodes, Seal integration, hosting) +- Growth & BD: $1,000/month +- Total monthly burn: $8,000 (6+ month runway) + +## Significance +This launch demonstrates the challenge of raising capital for infrastructure plays even with a clear captive audience (150K Seeker owners).

Futardio platform liquidity constraints for smaller raises + +The failure is notable because SeekerVault had shipped product (live at seekervault.xyz with demo videos) and was in Solana dApp Store review — more traction than many successful futarchy raises.
