- **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."

# LobsterFutarchy: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
LobsterFutarchy sought $500K through Futardio to build a control plane for autonomous financial agents with secure sandboxing, policy enforcement, and multi-chain wallet support. The raise proposed 12 months of runway at $45K/month burn ($35K team, $5K infrastructure, $5K growth) to ship agent wallet provisioning, Safe and Squads integration, role presets, session keys, and policy templates. The market rejected the proposal, raising only $1,183 (0.24% of target) before closing in refunding status after one day.
LobsterFutarchy proposed raising $500K to build a control plane for financial agents — secure sandboxes where agents operate with real money under onchain-enforceable rules. The 12-month roadmap included agent wallet provisioning (Safe on Ethereum, Squads on Solana), role-based permissions with session keys, futarchy governance integration for treasury decisions, and autonomous execution templates. The raise failed dramatically, collecting only $1,183 (0.24% of target) before closing in refunding status after one day.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
- **Target:** $500,000
- **Raised:** $1,183 (0.24%)
- **Duration:** ~24 hours (2026-03-06 to 2026-03-07)
- **Funding Target:** $500,000
- **Total Committed:** $1,183 (0.24%)
- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-06 to 2026-03-07)
- **Platform:** Futardio v0.7
## Significance
This is one of the lowest-performing raises on Futardio relative to target, suggesting either:
1. Market skepticism about agent financial autonomy infrastructure timing
2. Insufficient product-market fit demonstration for the control plane thesis
3. Team/execution risk assessment by futarchy participants
4. Competition from existing wallet infrastructure (Safe, Squads) perceived as sufficient
This represents one of the most severe fundraise failures on Futardio to date by percentage of target reached. The 0.24% commitment rate suggests either:
1. Market skepticism about agent infrastructure timing (too early)
2. Team/execution risk concerns
3. Unclear product-market fit for "agent control plane" positioning
4. Competition from existing wallet infrastructure (Safe, Squads) that already provides programmable permissions
The rapid failure (24 hours) indicates lack of early momentum rather than gradual loss of confidence.
The failure contrasts sharply with successful Futardio raises like [[futardio-cult-raised-11-4-million-in-one-day-through-futarchy-governed-meme-coin-launch]] and suggests that infrastructure plays require stronger traction signals than speculative/meme launches.
## Relationship to KB
- [[futardio]] — launch platform
- [[MetaDAO]] — governance mechanism provider
- Contrasts with [[futardio-cult-raised-11-4-million-in-one-day-through-futarchy-governed-meme-coin-launch]] success, highlighting product-market fit variance
- Tests [[futarchy-based fundraising creates regulatory separation because there are no beneficial owners and investment decisions emerge from market forces not centralized control]] in infrastructure context
- [[Living Agents]] — target use case (agents managing real capital)
- [[futarchy-based fundraising creates regulatory separation because there are no beneficial owners and investment decisions emerge from market forces not centralized control]] — mechanism used
- Contrasts with [[metadao-fundraise-2]] and other successful futarchy raises

## Overview
LobsterFutarchy is a control plane for autonomous financial agents that provides secure, onchain-enforceable sandboxes for agent execution with real money under programmable rules. The project raised through [[futardio]] in March 2026, seeking $500K for 12 months of runway to build wallet provisioning, policy enforcement, and multi-chain support (Solana via Squads, EVM via Safe). The raise failed, collecting only $1,183 before refunding.

## Relationship to KB
- [[futardio]] — launch platform
- Addresses agent financial autonomy problem identified in [[Living Agents are domain-expert investment entities where collective intelligence provides the analysis futarchy provides the governance and tokens provide permissionless access to private deal flow]]
- Complements [[MetaDAO]] futarchy governance with execution-layer controls
- Positioned as infrastructure for [[Living Agents]] financial autonomy
- Addresses agent safety through programmable constraints rather than centralized control

extraction_notes: "Pure entity extraction — fundraise launch with immediate failure. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms, agent infrastructure, or market dynamics beyond what existing KB already covers. The failure data point enriches futardio's track record but doesn't generate new arguable propositions. Significance is in the outcome (0.24% fill rate, 24-hour duration) rather than the proposal content."
extraction_notes: "Source is a Futardio launch page for LobsterFutarchy fundraise. No novel claims — this is purely factual entity data about a failed raise. The 0.24% commitment rate is notable as one of the most severe Futardio failures, but this is a data point not an arguable claim. Created entity pages for the company and the decision_market (fundraise proposal), plus timeline update to futardio.md. The project's vision (agent control plane, programmable financial sandboxes) is described in their pitch but represents stated intent not validated claims."
