# Git3 raised $28,266 of $100,000 target through futarchy-governed fundraise before refunding

Git3, a project bringing Git repositories on-chain through Irys blockchain, launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio on March 5, 2026. The campaign reached $28,266 in commitments against a $100,000 target before entering "Refunding" status by March 6, 2026—a 28.3% funding rate over approximately one day.

This outcome provides direct evidence for the portfolio composition problem in futarchy-governed fundraising: on the same platform within the same timeframe, CULT (a meme coin) raised $11.4M in one day while Git3 (infrastructure with detailed technical roadmap, team budget breakdown, and revenue model) failed to reach 30% of a modest $100k target. The rapid closure suggests futarchy mechanisms are currently selecting for speculative appeal rather than productive infrastructure value.

Git3's proposal included:
- 12-13 month runway at ~$8,000/month burn rate
- Detailed Phase 1-3 roadmap with completed MVP
- Multiple revenue streams (creator fees, protocol fees, agent royalties)
- Clear team and infrastructure budget allocation

Yet the market rejected this proposition in under 24 hours, while simultaneously funding a meme coin at 100x+ the capital velocity.

## Evidence

- Launch date: 2026-03-05
- Total committed: $28,266.00
- Funding target: $100,000.00
- Status: Refunding (as of 2026-03-06)
- Launch address: HKRDmghovXSCMobiRCZ7BBdHopEizyKmnhJKywjk3vUa
- Comparison: CULT raised $11.4M in one day on same platform

## Interpretation

The failed fundraise does not prove Git3's value proposition is invalid—it demonstrates that futarchy-governed markets on Futardio currently exhibit extreme variance between speculative tokens and infrastructure plays, with the mechanism selecting for the former. This is consistent with [[futarchy-variance-creates-portfolio-problem-because-mechanism-selects-both-top-performers-and-worst-performers-simultaneously]] and suggests [[futarchy-governed-meme-coins-attract-speculative-capital-at-scale]] may be a structural feature rather than a temporary market condition.
