-# Open Music: Artist-First Streaming Fundraise
-
-## Summary
-
-Futarchy-governed fundraise for Open Music, a Solana-based music streaming platform proposing to replace Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments. Targeted $250K for 10-month runway but raised only $27.5K (11% of target) before entering refund status within 24 hours of launch.
-
-## Market Data
-
-- **Outcome:** Failed (REFUNDING)
-- **Launch:** 2026-03-03
-- **Closed:** 2026-03-04
-- **Capital Committed:** $27,533 / $250,000 (11%)
-- **Token:** 4Hj
-- **Token Mint:** 4HjXkVLJhURqVcJEjnHoWBSVv1AnCzQnZ9cW7LxTmeta
-- **Launch Address:** 4R1peXdUehAS1aWCdnrBfLRevGktsKH2euvBLdsYXbWu
-
-## Proposal Details
-
-**Use of Funds:**
-- Engineering (2 devs + 1 hire): $18K/month (72%)
-- Infrastructure & Solana RPC: $4K/month (16%)
-- Growth & Artist Acquisition: $2K/month (8%)
-- Legal, Ops & Contingency: $1K/month (4%)
-- Total monthly burn: $25K
-- Target runway: ~10 months
-
-**Value Proposition:**
-- Replace Spotify's pro-rata pool with direct listener-to-artist allocation
-- Reduce platform cut from ~30% (Spotify) to 10%
-- Increase artist revenue: $9/month (Spotify, 100 fans) → $128/month (Open Music, 100 fans)
-- AI-powered sonic discovery replacing label-budget promotion
-- Artist audience ownership (no platform intermediation)
-
-**Traction:**
-- MVP live at openmusic.art
-- Artist upload and USDC payout functional
-- Early artist onboarding in progress
-- No disclosed user/artist metrics
-
-## Significance
-
-First entertainment/creator economy vertical on Futardio beyond DeFi and meme coins. The rapid failure (24-hour launch-to-refund) suggests futarchy-governed raises face significant variance based on product category and narrative strength. Unlike CULT's $11.4M single-day raise, Open Music failed to attract sufficient speculative or mission-aligned capital despite comparable platform mechanics.
-
-The outcome raises questions about:
-1. Whether futarchy governance adds credibility to non-financial use cases
-2. Market appetite for Spotify alternatives without existing user traction
-3. Minimum viable community size for successful futarchy launches

 - **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees

+# Open Music: Futardio Fundraise
+
+## Summary
+
+Open Music launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio seeking $250K to build an artist-first streaming platform on Solana. The project proposed replacing Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments, promising 14x higher artist revenue per 100 fans. Despite professional presentation, working MVP, and detailed business plan, the raise attracted only $27.5K (11% of target) and went to REFUNDING status within 24 hours.
+
+## Market Data
+- **Outcome:** Failed (REFUNDING)
+- **Target:** $250,000
+- **Committed:** $27,533 (11%)
+- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-03 to 2026-03-04)
+- **Platform:** Futardio v0.7
+
+## Value Proposition
+
+**Problem:** Spotify's pro-rata pool model pays artists $0.003/stream (~$9/month for 100 fans) while platform takes 30% and controls artist-fan relationships.
+
+**Solution:** Direct payment model where subscriber fees go only to artists they listened to that month. Platform takes 10% instead of 30%. Artists own audience data and relationships.
+
+**Traction:** Working MVP at openmusic.art with artist upload, payment processing, and early community forming.
+
+**Team:** Two full-stack developers with end-to-end ownership (Solana infrastructure, AI discovery, artist dashboard). Funds would hire third developer.
+
+**Use of Funds:** $25K/month burn for 10 months—72% engineering, 16% infrastructure/RPC, 8% growth, 4% legal/ops.
+
+## Significance
+
+This launch provides a data point on futarchy's selection variance: a project with professional presentation, working product, clear market positioning, and reasonable financials failed to attract capital through the mechanism. Either the market correctly identified a fatal flaw not visible in the pitch (negative selection working), or a viable project failed due to liquidity/timing constraints (high variance noise). The rapid failure (24 hours) and low commitment (11%) suggest either fundamental market skepticism or insufficient liquidity depth for this raise size on Futardio at this time.

 # Open Music
 
-Artist-first music streaming platform built on Solana that attempted to replace Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments. Launched futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio in March 2026, raising only $27.5K of $250K target before entering refund status within 24 hours.
+Artist-first music streaming platform on Solana that attempted to replace Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments. Launched futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio in March 2026, raising only 11% of $250K target before going to REFUNDING status.
 
 ## Overview
 
-Open Music proposed a subscription streaming model where each subscriber's payment goes only to artists they personally listened to that month, rather than being pooled across all platform streams. The platform claimed this would increase artist payouts from ~$9/month (Spotify, 100 fans) to ~$128/month (Open Music, 100 fans) by eliminating the pro-rata dilution effect and reducing platform cut from ~30% to 10%.
-
-The team consisted of two full-stack developers building end-to-end product including Solana payment infrastructure, AI-powered sonic discovery, and artist dashboard. MVP was live at openmusic.art with basic upload and payment functionality.
-
-The futarchy-governed raise targeted $250K for ~10 months runway at $25K/month burn (72% engineering, 16% infrastructure, 8% growth, 4% ops/legal). The launch failed to attract sufficient capital, suggesting either market skepticism of the direct payment model's viability against Spotify's network effects, or insufficient community/artist traction to validate the thesis.
+Open Music proposed a streaming platform where subscriber payments go directly to artists based on individual listening time rather than being pooled globally. The model promised ~$128/month for 100 fans versus ~$9/month on Spotify. Platform included AI-powered sonic discovery, artist audience ownership, and Solana/USDC payment infrastructure. Had working MVP at openmusic.art with early artist onboarding.
