The raise attracted $28,266 in commitments (28% of target) before entering refunding status. ## Market Data - **Outcome:** Failed (refunding) - **Funding Target:** $100,000 - **Total Committed:** $28,266 - **Commitment Ratio:** 28% - **Launch Date:** 2026-03-05 - **Close Date:** 2026-03-06 - **Token:** 6VT - **Token Mint:** 6VTMeDtrtimh2988dhfYi2rMEDVdYzuHoSgERUmdmeta ## Project Details Git3 proposed bringing Git repositories on-chain with: - Permanent storage on Irys blockchain - Repository-as-NFT ownership model - x402 protocol for code monetization - GitHub Actions integration for seamless deployment - AI agent interoperability through decentralized MCP - MVP already live at git3.io **Planned Use of Funds:** - Team: ~$5,000/month - Infrastructure: ~$2,000/month - Marketing & Ecosystem: ~$1,000/month - Total burn: ~$8,000/month - Target runway: 12-13 months **Roadmap:** - Phase 1 (Current): Core infrastructure with GitHub integration - Phase 2 (Q2-Q3 2025): NFT marketplace and x402 integration - Phase 3 (Q4 2025): Ecosystem expansion and $GIT3 token ## Significance This fundraise demonstrates the challenge of raising capital for infrastructure projects through futarchy markets, even with working MVP and clear technical roadmap. The 28% commitment ratio suggests either insufficient market validation, unclear value proposition, or limited awareness within the Futardio ecosystem. The project's "vampire attack" strategy of extending GitHub rather than replacing it represents a pragmatic go-to-market approach, but the failed raise indicates this positioning may not have resonated with futarchy market participants. ## Relationship to KB - [[git3]] — parent entity - [[futardio]] — fundraising platform - [[MetaDAO]] — futarchy infrastructure provider
