 - **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 launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio seeking $288,000 to support 11 months of operations for their real-money casual gaming arcade on Solana. The raise attracted $114,933 in commitments (39.8% of target) before entering refunding status. The project positioned itself as the first casino operated by futarchy, featuring fully on-chain games with zero backend, verifiable outcomes, and agent-friendly PvP architecture.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding)
+- **Funding Target:** $288,000
+- **Total Committed:** $114,933 (39.8% of target)
+- **Launch Date:** 2026-03-04
+- **Resolution Date:** 2026-03-05
+- **Token:** $ARCADE (AaEYgXdHpzS9bBgAvDriVMvKDQUnqtVYAtLZJGjometa)
+- **Monthly Budget:** $20,000
+- **Target Runway:** 11 months
+- **Performance Package:** 10%
+
+## Significance
+This fundraise represents an attempt to apply futarchy governance to real-money gaming infrastructure. Send Arcade's positioning as "the first casino operated by futarchy" and their emphasis on on-chain verifiability, zero backend architecture, and agent-friendly design demonstrates the intersection of prediction market governance with gaming economics. The 39.8% funding achievement suggests market skepticism about either the gaming model, the team's execution capability post-Send token sunset, or the competitive positioning in Solana's gaming ecosystem.
+
+The project's technical architecture (games fetching state directly from contracts, 90% lower operating costs than traditional studios) and go-to-market strategy (targeting both crypto degens and traditional casual gaming audiences across multiple publishing platforms) provides a case study in futarchy-governed consumer application fundraising.

+# Send Arcade
+
+Send Arcade is a real-money casual gaming arcade built on Solana, originally launched under the Send Ecosystem and $SEND token 1.5 years ago. After the Send token was sunset in early 2026, Send Arcade became independent. The platform features fully on-chain games with zero backend, verifiable outcomes, and instant settlement. Games fetch state directly from smart contracts, making the platform agent-friendly by default with a PvP revenue model.

+- **2024-Q3** — Launched under Send Ecosystem with $SEND token
+- **2024-2025** — Built 10+ games, achieved 9M+ on-chain plays, $200k+ ARR

No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or gaming economics that aren't already covered in existing KB claims. The 39.8% funding achievement is a data point but doesn't support new arguable propositions. Entity extraction captures the company, the decision market, and timeline update to Futardio. The source is primarily factual (company background, metrics, fundraise details) rather than interpretive."
