# VERSUS: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
VERSUS launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio to raise $500,000 over 12 months for a provably fair AI-animated coinflip duels platform on Solana. The project proposed allocating 75% of funds to branding, marketing, and Twitter Gold, with 25% to development. The platform would feature AI-generated real-time 3D duel animations where meme coins battle each other, with 0.5%-1% of each bet used to buy and burn the $VS token. The raise failed dramatically, achieving only 1.06% of its target before entering refunding status after one day.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding)
- **Funding Target:** $500,000
- **Total Committed:** $5,283
- **Completion Rate:** 1.06%
- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-03 to 2026-03-04)
- **Token:** $VS (ByPLh8frWwcH5pXjxS2iAc7WyGQBbnYNCb583FeGmeta)
## Significance
This represents one of the most dramatic failures in the Futardio launch ecosystem, with the raise closing at barely 1% of target. The failure provides a data point on market appetite for meme-coin-adjacent gaming platforms and suggests that futarchy-governed launches effectively filter out projects with weak product-market fit or unconvincing teams. The 75% marketing allocation may have signaled weak technical fundamentals to potential backers.

# VERSUS
VERSUS is a provably fair AI-animated coinflip duels platform on Solana that attempted to raise $500,000 through [[futardio]]'s futarchy model. The project proposed meme coin versus meme coin betting with AI-generated 3D duel animations, governed entirely by $VS token holders through futarchy voting. The raise failed, achieving only 1.06% of its funding target ($5,283 of $500,000) before entering refunding status.
## Timeline
- **2026-03-03** — [[versus-futardio-fundraise]] launched on Futardio targeting $500K over 12 months with 75% allocated to marketing/branding and 25% to development
- **2026-03-04** — Fundraise closed in refunding status after raising only $5,283 (1.06% of target)
## Relationship to KB
- [[futardio]] — fundraising platform
- MetaDAO — parent futarchy infrastructure
- Example of failed futarchy-governed meme coin launch, contrasting with successful raises like [[futardio-cult-raised-11-4-million-in-one-day-through-futarchy-governed-meme-coin-launch]]

extraction_notes: "Factual launch data for failed Futardio raise. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or market dynamics—this is a straightforward failed fundraise with no unusual characteristics beyond the dramatic undersubscription. Created entity pages for VERSUS company and its decision_market fundraise, plus timeline update for Futardio. The 1.06% completion rate is notable as a data point but doesn't warrant a claim—it's just one failed raise among many possible outcomes."
