## Competitive Position
- **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."

# Salmon Wallet: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
Salmon Wallet attempted to raise $375,000 through MetaDAO's futarchy platform to fund 12 months of wallet development and operations. The project raised only $97,535 (26% of target) before entering refunding status one day after launch. This represents the first observed futarchy-governed fundraise for operational wallet infrastructure rather than pure capital allocation vehicles.
Salmon Wallet, an established open-source self-custodial wallet (active since 2022, listed on Solana wallet adapter), attempted to raise $375K through MetaDAO's futarchy platform for 12-month operational runway. The raise achieved only 26% of target ($97,535) before closing in refunding status after one day.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
- **Raise Target:** $375,000
- **Total Committed:** $97,535 (26% of target)
- **Launch Date:** 2026-03-03
- **Resolution Date:** 2026-03-04
- **Close Date:** 2026-03-04
- **Token:** SAL (Salmon Token)
- **Planned Monthly Burn:** $25,000 (team 73%, infrastructure 17%, growth 8%, governance/legal 2%)
- **Planned Use:** $25K monthly burn for 12-month runway (73% team, 17% infrastructure, 8% growth, 2% governance/legal)
## Significance
First empirical test of futarchy governance for operational software infrastructure on MetaDAO platform. The rapid failure (one day to refunding) provides evidence of adoption friction when extending futarchy beyond capital allocation to ongoing operational entities with recurring expenses. The project had established credibility (wallet adapter listing since 2022, $122.5K prior funding) but failed to attract sufficient capital through futarchy mechanism, suggesting market pricing challenges for operational complexity versus pure investment decisions.
First observed wallet infrastructure project attempting futarchy-governed fundraising on MetaDAO platform. The failed raise provides empirical evidence that futarchy adoption barriers extend beyond pure capital allocation vehicles to operational software projects with traditional burn rates and development roadmaps. Despite established track record ($122.5K prior funding, 4 years operational history), the project failed to attract sufficient capital through market mechanisms, suggesting relationship-based VC funding may still dominate for operational software infrastructure.

# Salmon Wallet
Open-source self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet primarily built on Solana with Bitcoin support. Active since 2022 with wallet adapter listing. Attempted futarchy-governed fundraise on MetaDAO platform in March 2026, representing first observed futarchy governance application to operational wallet infrastructure rather than pure capital allocation.
