+# Fancy Cats
+
+**AI companion protocol that attempted to raise through MetaDAO's unruggable ICO structure but failed to meet minimum funding threshold.**
+
+Fancy Cats positioned itself as "a first-of-its-kind AI companion protocol built on Solana" where each cat would be a trainable, evolving AI with collectible NFT mechanics and breeding functionality. The project explicitly chose MetaDAO's futarchy-governed ICO structure to align long-term incentives, citing the need for accountability in a product "designed to last a lifetime." However, the launch set an unusually low $100 funding target and immediately went to REFUNDING status on the same day it launched, suggesting either a test deployment or complete failure to attract capital.
+
+## Timeline
+- **2026-02-25** — Launched ICO on Futardio with $100 funding target, DAO LLC structure, futarchy-governed treasury, and performance-vested founder tokens
+- **2026-02-25** — Launch closed and entered REFUNDING status same day, indicating failed minimum raise or test deployment

+## Relationship to KB
+- [[futardio]] — launch platform
+- [[MetaDAO is the futarchy launchpad on Solana where projects raise capital through unruggable ICOs governed by conditional markets creating the first platform for ownership coins at scale]] — demonstrates full unruggable ICO structure
+- [[futarchy-governed permissionless launches require brand separation to manage reputational liability because failed projects on a curated platform damage the platforms credibility]] — example of failed launch creating potential reputational noise

 ## Competitive Position
 - **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."

Significance threshold: while the project failed, it demonstrates the full ICO structure in practice and raises the brand separation question empirically."
