 - **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."

+# Send Arcade: Futardio Fundraise
+
+## Summary
+Send Arcade attempted to raise $288,000 through Futardio to fund 11 months of independent operations after separating from the Send ecosystem. The fundraise positioned Send Arcade as the first futarchy-governed casino, emphasizing fully on-chain games with zero backend, verifiable outcomes, and agent-friendly PvP revenue models. The raise failed to meet its minimum threshold, achieving only $114,933 in commitments (39.8% of target) before closing in refunding status.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
+- **Target:** $288,000 minimum
+- **Committed:** $114,933 (39.8% of target)
+- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-04 to 2026-03-05)
+- **Token:** $ARCADE
+- **Performance package:** 10%
+- **Monthly budget:** $20,000
+- **Target runway:** 11 months
+
+## Significance
+This fundraise represents an attempt to apply futarchy governance to a consumer gaming product with existing traction (9M+ plays, $200k+ ARR). The failure to reach minimum raise despite operational history suggests either:
+1. Market skepticism about casino economics in crypto
+2. Insufficient liquidity/participation on Futardio for consumer products
+3. Valuation mismatch between team expectations and market appetite
+4. Timing issues (1-day window may have been too short)
+
+The case provides evidence about futarchy-governed fundraising for products with revenue but seeking growth capital, distinct from pure speculation plays or infrastructure projects.

+Real-money casual gaming arcade built on Solana, originally part of the Send ecosystem ($SEND token).

No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or market dynamics—this is a data point (failed raise at 39.8% of target) that belongs in entity timeline. The pitch deck contains standard gaming/casino positioning but no arguable propositions about internet finance mechanisms. Extracted as entity data only: new company entity (Send Arcade), new decision_market entity (the fundraise), and timeline update to Futardio."
