# Futardio Proposal: Should Sanctum Build a Sanctum Mobile App (Wonder)?

## Summary

Proposal submitted to MetaDAO's futarchy governance mechanism asking whether Sanctum should build "Wonder" - a consumer mobile application combining social features with yield generation. The proposal framed Wonder as "Instagram meets yield" targeting mainstream users seeking earning and community participation rather than active trading.

## Key Details

- **Proposer**: Sanctum team
- **Governance mechanism**: MetaDAO futarchy (CLOUD token markets)
- **Proposal date**: March 28, 2025
- **Outcome**: Failed
- **Strategic context**: Pivot from infrastructure to consumer products
- **Company context**: Sanctum raised at $3B valuation (January 2025)

## Core Thesis

Sanctum's product vision: "We believe the next wave of crypto adoption will come from apps that make earning and belonging delightful, not from better trading interfaces."

## Product Concept

**Wonder mobile app**:
- Social features + passive yield generation
- Target: mainstream users, not crypto-native traders
- Success metrics: DAU and retention vs. trading volume
- Positioning: consumer fintech meets social network
