## 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, an established open-source self-custodial wallet active since 2022, attempted to raise $375,000 through MetaDAO's futarchy platform for a 12-month operational runway. Despite legitimate project history ($122.5K prior funding, listed on Solana wallet adapter, operates own validator), the raise attracted only $97,535 (26% of target) before entering refunding status after one day.
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.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
- **Raise Target:** $375,000
- **Total Committed:** $97,535
- **Duration:** 2026-03-03 to 2026-03-04 (1 day)
- **Total Committed:** $97,535 (26% of target)
- **Launch Date:** 2026-03-03
- **Resolution Date:** 2026-03-04
- **Token:** SAL (Salmon Token)
- **Planned Use:** 73% team ($18,300/mo), 17% infrastructure ($4,200/mo), 8% growth ($2,000/mo), 2% governance/legal ($500/mo)
- **Planned Monthly Burn:** $25,000 (team 73%, infrastructure 17%, growth 8%, governance/legal 2%)
## Significance
First observed futarchy-governed fundraise for operational wallet infrastructure on MetaDAO platform. The failed raise provides empirical evidence of futarchy adoption friction extending beyond pure capital allocation vehicles to operational software projects. Despite credible team history and detailed operational planning (12-month roadmap with quarterly milestones, structured budget breakdown, existing product with users), the project failed to attract sufficient capital through the futarchy mechanism. This suggests prediction market pricing may not effectively translate traditional VC evaluation criteria (team track record, product-market fit, technical execution capability) into funding decisions for operational software infrastructure.
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.

# Salmon Wallet
Open-source, self-custodial cryptocurrency wallet built primarily on Solana with Bitcoin support. Active since 2022, listed on Solana wallet adapter. Operates own Solana validator for transparent revenue. Attempted futarchy-governed fundraise on MetaDAO platform in March 2026 seeking $375K for 12-month operational runway but failed to reach target, raising only $97,535 before refunding.
