The project raised through Futardio's futarchy-governed launch platform, seeking $500K for 12 months of runway to build agent wallet provisioning, multi-chain support (Solana + Safe-based wallets), and policy enforcement infrastructure. The raise failed, collecting only $1,183 before entering refunding status. ## Timeline - **2026-03-06** — [[lobsterfutarchy-futardio-fundraise]] launched on Futardio seeking $500K for agent financial control plane - **2026-03-07** — Fundraise closed in refunding status with $1,183 committed (0.24% of target) ## Relationship to KB LobsterFutarchy represents an attempt to build infrastructure for the [[Living Agents]] vision of autonomous financial actors operating under programmable constraints. The project's core thesis aligns with the broader internet-finance theme that agents need "financial freedom, but only inside programmable constraints" — a control layer that enables autonomous treasury operations, yield strategies, and prediction market participation while maintaining enforceable safety boundaries. The failed raise provides a data point on market appetite for agent infrastructure at this stage of development, particularly for pre-product fundraises in the futarchy-governed launch ecosystem.
