+# SeekerVault: Futardio Fundraise
+
+## Summary
+SeekerVault launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio seeking $50,000 to build encrypted decentralized storage for Solana Seeker phone users. The project positioned itself as replacing Google Drive/iCloud for 150K+ Seeker devices with Walrus + Seal infrastructure, with plans for AI agent storage, creator vaults, and data marketplace features. The raise attracted only $2,095 in commitments before closing in refunding status after one day.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
+- **Target:** $50,000
+- **Committed:** $2,095 (4.2% of target)
+- **Duration:** March 8-9, 2026
+- **Token:** J4r (J4rMkvf4qwJgX2nK3ueeL4E423chSG2jVqgk5LAGmeta)
+
+## Proposed Use of Funds
+- Engineering: $4,000/month
+- Infrastructure (Walrus nodes, Seal integration): $3,000/month
+- Growth & BD: $1,000/month
+- Total runway: 6+ months to dApp Store listing
+
+## Significance
+This represents a failed attempt to use futarchy-governed fundraising for mobile infrastructure targeting a specific hardware ecosystem (Seeker phones). The 4.2% funding rate suggests either insufficient market validation of the encrypted storage value proposition, skepticism about the team's ability to capture the 150K user TAM, or general market conditions affecting small raises on Futardio. The rapid closure (1 day) indicates the platform's liquidity threshold enforcement worked as designed.

+extraction_notes: "Failed fundraise for mobile encrypted storage targeting Seeker ecosystem. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or market dynamics — this is purely entity/timeline data. The low funding rate (4.2%) and rapid closure suggest market skepticism about either the team, the product-market fit, or general conditions for small raises. Updated existing SeekerVault entity with timeline entry and created decision_market entity for the fundraise event."
