The protocol had already launched on mainnet with formal verification and audit completed, positioning the raise as growth capital rather than development funding.

The rapid failure (1-day duration) and refunding status suggests market skepticism despite technical completeness, potentially indicating that Futardio markets price team credibility and traction over technical readiness.
