- **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."

# Salmon Wallet: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
Salmon Wallet, an established open-source self-custodial wallet active since 2022, attempted to raise $375,000 through MetaDAO's futarchy platform for a 12-month operational runway. Despite legitimate project history ($122.5K prior funding, listed on Solana wallet adapter, operates own validator), the raise attracted only $97,535 (26% of target) before entering refunding status after one day.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
- **Raise Target:** $375,000
- **Total Committed:** $97,535
- **Duration:** 2026-03-03 to 2026-03-04 (1 day)
- **Token:** SAL (Salmon Token)
- **Planned Use:** 73% team ($18,300/mo), 17% infrastructure ($4,200/mo), 8% growth ($2,000/mo), 2% governance/legal ($500/mo)
## Significance
First observed futarchy-governed fundraise for operational wallet infrastructure on MetaDAO platform. The failed raise provides empirical evidence of futarchy adoption friction extending beyond pure capital allocation vehicles to operational software projects. Despite credible team history and detailed operational planning (12-month roadmap with quarterly milestones, structured budget breakdown, existing product with users), the project failed to attract sufficient capital through the futarchy mechanism. This suggests prediction market pricing may not effectively translate traditional VC evaluation criteria (team track record, product-market fit, technical execution capability) into funding decisions for operational software infrastructure.

# Salmon Wallet
Open-source, self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet built primarily on Solana with Bitcoin support. Active since 2022, listed on Solana wallet adapter.

- **2022** — Bootstrapped $80K initial funding
- **2022-2024** — Received $42.5K in grants (Serum: $2.5K, Eclipse: $40K)
