 # Send Arcade: Futardio Fundraise
 
 ## Summary
-Send Arcade attempted to raise $288,000 through Futardio to fund 11 months of operations for what they positioned as "the first casino operated by futarchy." The project emphasized fully on-chain games with zero backend, verifiable outcomes, and agent-friendly PvP revenue models. The raise failed to meet its minimum target, achieving only 40% subscription ($114,933 of $288,000), resulting in a refund to all participants.
+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 (39.9% of target) before entering refunding status. The project positioned itself as "the first casino operated by futarchy" with fully on-chain games, zero backend, and agent-friendly PvP architecture.
 
 ## Market Data
-- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
+- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding)
 - **Raise Target:** $288,000
-- **Total Committed:** $114,933
-- **Oversubscription:** 0.40x
-- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-04 to 2026-03-05)
-- **Token:** $ARCADE
+- **Total Committed:** $114,933 (39.9%)
+- **Launch Date:** 2026-03-04
+- **Close Date:** 2026-03-05
+- **Monthly Budget:** $20,000
+- **Target Runway:** 11 months
 - **Performance Package:** 10%
 
-## Significance
-This represents a failed attempt to apply futarchy governance to casino operations and demonstrates the challenge of raising capital for gaming projects even with novel governance mechanisms. The 40% subscription rate suggests either insufficient market interest in futarchy-governed casinos, concerns about the team's execution capability post-Send token sunset, or general skepticism about real-money gaming on Solana. The project's emphasis on "owning the house" through token ownership and zero-backend architecture represents an attempt to differentiate from traditional online casinos.
+## Project Background
+Send Arcade originally launched 1.5 years ago under the Send Ecosystem ($SEND token) and built 10+ games with 9M+ on-chain plays and $200k+ ARR. After the Send token was sunset in January 2026, the team became independent and sought new funding to scale operations.
 
-## Technical Architecture
-- Zero backend infrastructure
-- Games fetch state directly from smart contracts
-- Fully on-chain with verifiable outcomes
-- Instant settlement
-- Agent-friendly PvP revenue model
-- 90% lower operating costs than traditional gaming studios
+## Value Proposition
+- **Zero backend:** Games fetch state directly from smart contracts
+- **Fully on-chain:** Verifiable outcomes, instant settlement
+- **Agent-friendly:** PvP revenue model where agents can autonomously play and earn
+- **90% lower operating costs** vs traditional gaming studios
+- **Casino ownership model:** $ARCADE token as casino chip where house always wins and holders capture revenue
+
+## Planned Use of Funds
+- Launch Season 1 of flagship game FuseMeDaddy on Seeker and Play Solana Console
+- Roll out game modes, maps, characters, skins
+- Release on App Store and Play Store
+- Polish and release Arcade app with 6+ minigames
+- Revive old titles like Lana Roads
+- Build additional casino-arcade style games
+
+## Team Achievements
+- 2x Blinkathon winner
+- Solana AI Hackathon winner
+- Realtime Hackathon winner
+- 5th in Breakout Gaming main track
+- Winner at Radar Gaming side track
+- Helius Startup Launchpad Cohort 1
+- 20k+ plays across 3k+ unique users on Farcaster
+- Games preinstalled on Play Solana gaming console
+- 2 games published on Solana Dapp Store
+
+## Significance
+This fundraise represents an attempt to apply futarchy governance to a consumer gaming product with existing traction. The failure to reach minimum raise despite $115k in commitments demonstrates the capital formation challenges for consumer-facing crypto applications, even with strong technical credentials and prior traction. The 39.9% fill rate suggests market skepticism about either the gaming model, the team's ability to execute post-Send-token-sunset, or the $288k valuation.

 # Send Arcade
 
-Send Arcade is a real-money casual gaming arcade built on Solana, positioning itself as the first casino operated by futarchy. Originally launched as the gaming arm of the Send Ecosystem ($SEND token) 1.5 years ago, the project became independent after the Send token was sunset in early 2026. The platform features fully on-chain games with zero backend infrastructure, verifiable outcomes, and instant settlement. Send Arcade raised $114,933 of a $288,000 target through Futardio before the raise was refunded.
