# Futarchy Arena

## Overview

Futarchy Arena is a competitive onchain futarchy game where players predict on strategic decisions rather than vote, with outcomes determined by prediction markets. The project attempted to raise $50,000 through Futardio but failed to meet its target, raising only $934 before entering refunding status.

## Timeline

- **2026-03-04** — Launch on Futardio with $50K target and $1K monthly spending cap
- **2026-03-05** — Fundraise closed in refunding status after raising $934 (1.9% of target)

## Relationship to KB

- [[futardio]] — launched on this platform
- [[MetaDAO]] — implements the futarchy mechanism this game is based on
- Parent of potential [[futarchy-arena-futardio-fundraise]] decision market entity (below significance threshold due to failed raise)

## Significance

Futarchy Arena represents an attempt to gamify futarchy governance by creating competitive prediction market rounds with leaderboards and performance tracking. The project's failure to attract capital ($934 raised vs $50K target) suggests limited market appetite for futarchy-as-game mechanics, despite the theoretical appeal of competitive governance.
