# Salmon Wallet: Futardio Fundraise # Salmon Wallet: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary ## Summary
Salmon Wallet, an open-source self-custodial wallet active since 2022, attempted to raise $375,000 through MetaDAO's futarchy platform for 12-month operational runway. The raise attracted only $97,535 (26% of target) before entering refunding status, representing the first observed failed futarchy raise for an established operational software infrastructure project. Salmon Wallet, an established open-source wallet active since 2022, attempted to raise $375,000 through Futardio's futarchy-governed fundraise mechanism. Despite prior funding of $122.5K and being listed on Solana's wallet adapter, the raise failed to reach its minimum target, closing after one day with only $97,535 committed (26% of target). This represents the first observed futarchy-governed wallet infrastructure project on MetaDAO's platform.

## Project Background
- Active since 2022
- Listed on Solana wallet adapter since 2022
- Prior funding: $122.5K ($80K bootstrap, $2.5K Serum grant, $40K Eclipse grant)
- Multi-chain support (Solana, Bitcoin)
- Operates own Solana validator
- Proposed $25K monthly burn rate
## Proposed Use of Funds
- Team: $18,300/month (73%)
- Infrastructure: $4,200/month (17%)
- Growth & Ecosystem: $2,000/month (8%)
- Governance, Legal & Contingency: $500/month (2%)
## Significance ## Significance
First observed futarchy-governed fundraise for operational wallet infrastructure on MetaDAO platform. The failure provides empirical evidence of futarchy adoption friction extending beyond pure capital allocation vehicles to operational software projects. Despite legitimate technical credentials and operational history, the project failed to attract sufficient capital through the futarchy mechanism, suggesting market participants may prefer traditional team-led governance for infrastructure software development. This failed raise provides empirical evidence of futarchy adoption friction for operational software projects versus pure capital allocation vehicles or speculative assets. Despite Salmon Wallet's established track record (4 years active, prior funding, wallet adapter listing), the futarchy governance model failed to attract sufficient capital for infrastructure development. The detailed operational plan (73% team, 17% infrastructure, 8% growth, 2% governance/legal) reveals tension between market-based governance and traditional operational requirements.

# Salmon Wallet # Salmon Wallet
## Overview Open-source, self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet built primarily on Solana with Bitcoin support. Active since 2022, listed on Solana wallet adapter. Attempted futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio in March 2026 that failed to reach minimum target, demonstrating adoption friction for infrastructure projects using futarchy governance mechanisms.
Salmon Wallet is an open-source, self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet launched in 2022, primarily built on Solana with Bitcoin support. The project positions itself around transparency, user sovereignty, and community-first governance, operating its own Solana validator for network participation. Listed on the Solana wallet adapter since 2022, it has maintained continuous development through bootstrap funding and ecosystem grants.
