# Torch Market: Futardio Fundraise # Torch Market: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary ## Summary
Torch Market launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio seeking $75,000 to fund a 6-month runway. The budget breakdown included marketing team ($6,000/month for 2 people), founder salary ($3,000/month), infrastructure costs ($540-1,540/month for Helius RPC and frontend deployment), and $5,000 flat for bonding a new token on mainnet. The raise closed in refunding status after one day. Torch Market attempted to raise $75,000 through Futardio to fund a 6-month runway covering infrastructure, founder compensation, marketing team (2 people), and 50 SOL for mainnet token bonding. The fundraise entered refunding status after one day, closing on 2026-03-06.
## Market Data ## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding) - **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding)
- **Proposer:** mrsirg97-rgb - **Target:** $75,000
- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-05 to 2026-03-06) - **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-05 to 2026-03-06)
- **Funding Target:** $75,000 - **Token:** 5pF
- **Total Committed:** Not disclosed - **Platform Version:** v0.7
## Significance ## Significance
This represents a typical early-stage DeFi protocol attempting to use futarchy-governed fundraising for operational capital. The project had technical credibility (formal verification, audit, live on mainnet) but failed to attract sufficient market confidence for the raise. The rapid closure suggests either insufficient marketing preparation or market skepticism about the value proposition relative to existing Solana DeFi protocols. This represents an early-stage DeFi protocol attempting to use futarchy-governed fundraising for operational capital. The rapid failure (1 day to refunding) suggests either insufficient market interest, timing issues, or concerns about the project's viability despite its formal verification and existing traction (4K Clawhub downloads).

# Torch Market # Torch Market
Torch Market is a DeFi protocol combining swap, lending, liquidation, and yield generation in a single on-chain protocol designed for both human and AI agent users. Built on Solana, the protocol is formally verified (48/48 kani proof harnesses) and has been audited. The protocol uses SPL token2022 primitives to enable governance and DeFi capabilities with non-extractive economics where all value flows back to the community. Torch Market is a DeFi protocol combining swap, lending, liquidation, and yield features 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 has been audited. It launched on Solana devnet/mainnet with an open-source SDK (torchsdk on npm with ~4K downloads via Clawhub agent skill). The protocol is designed to be non-extractive with economic flows returning to the community, and features permissionless migration to DEX funded by token treasuries.

Created entity pages for Torch Market (company) and the fundraise decision market. Project has technical credibility (formal verification, audit, mainnet deployment) but failed to attract capital. Significance threshold met due to formal verification claims and agent-first design philosophy, though the fundraise itself failed quickly." extraction_notes: "Single launch event with refunding status. Created entity pages for Torch Market (company) and the failed fundraise (decision_market). No extractable claims — this is purely factual data about a failed fundraise. The rapid failure (1 day) is notable but insufficient evidence alone to support broader claims about futarchy fundraising dynamics without additional context or pattern data."
