 - **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."

+# Torch Market: Futardio Fundraise
+
+## Summary
+Torch Market attempted to raise $75K through Futardio for a 6-month operational runway. The budget breakdown included Helius RPC infrastructure (~$500-1500/month), founder compensation ($3K/month), marketing ($2K/month), marketing team of 2 ($6K/month), plus a flat $5K for mainnet token bonding (50 SOL). The raise entered refunding status within one day of launch.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding)
+- **Proposer:** mrsirg97-rgb
+- **Target:** $75,000
+- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-05 to 2026-03-06)
+
+## Significance
+This represents an early-stage DeFi protocol attempting to use futarchy-governed fundraising for operational capital. The rapid failure (refunding within 24 hours) suggests either insufficient market validation, pricing issues, or lack of community confidence in the project despite formal verification and existing traction (4K Clawhub downloads).
+
+The budget structure reveals typical early-stage DeFi economics: infrastructure costs are relatively low (~$500-1500/month) while human capital (founder + marketing team) dominates the burn rate at ~$11K/month of the ~$12K monthly budget.

+# Torch Market
+
+Torch Market is a DeFi protocol on Solana combining swap, lending, liquidation, and yield functionality in a single formally verified protocol. The project positioned itself as a non-extractive launchpad using SPL token2022 primitives with permissionless DEX migration funded by token treasuries. The protocol achieved 48/48 Kani proof harnesses for formal verification and nearly 4K downloads on the Clawhub agent skill.
+
+The project attempted to raise $75K through Futardio on 2026-03-05 for a 6-month runway covering infrastructure, founder compensation, marketing team, and 50 SOL for mainnet token bonding. The raise entered refunding status within one day, closing 2026-03-06.
+
+## Timeline
+- **2026-03-05** — Launched $75K fundraise on Futardio for 6-month runway (infra, marketing, team)
+- **2026-03-06** — Fundraise closed in refunding status after one day
