The launch went live and entered refunding status on the same day (2026-03-03), indicating it failed to meet minimum viability thresholds or was withdrawn. ## Market Data - **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding) - **Raise Target:** $55,000 - **Total Committed:** N/A - **Launch Date:** 2026-03-03 - **Resolution Date:** 2026-03-03 - **Token:** 5VV - **Platform Version:** v0.7 ## Significance This represents a failed futarchy-governed meme coin launch on the Futardio platform. The same-day refunding status suggests either insufficient market interest, technical issues, or intentional withdrawal. The project had associated social presence (website: spree.co, Twitter: @spree) but failed to attract capital. The vague team description ("The boss man says he needs this, so who am I to deny what genius should have or not have? Said the lord.") and test-like framing ("Testing For The Boss") suggest this may have been an experimental or non-serious launch rather than a genuine fundraising attempt. ## Relationship to KB - [[futardio]] - platform hosting this launch - [[futarchy-governed-meme-coins-attract-speculative-capital-at-scale]] - counterexample: not all meme launches succeed
