 ## 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."

+# Torch Market
+
+Torch Market is a DeFi protocol combining swap, lending, liquidation, and yield functionality in a single on-chain protocol designed for both human and AI agent users. The protocol is formally verified (48/48 Kani proof harnesses) and deployed on Solana devnet/mainnet. The project includes an open-source SDK (torchsdk on npm with ~4K downloads via Clawhub agent skill), frontend at torch.market, and has completed a security audit.
+
+The protocol attempted to raise $75,000 through Futardio on 2026-03-05 but entered refunding status within one day, closing on 2026-03-06. The fundraise proposed a 6-month runway covering infrastructure ($500-1500/month for Helius RPC, $40/month for frontend deployment), founder compensation ($3000/month), marketing ($2000/month), marketing team ($6000/month for 2 people), and $5000 flat for bonding a new token on mainnet.

The project has technical merit (formal verification, audit, SDK adoption) but the fundraise failed immediately. Created entity page to track the launch event and updated Futardio timeline. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms, DeFi architecture, or capital formation patterns that aren't already covered in existing KB claims about futarchy-governed launches and their variance."
