# FutureDAO: Fund the Rug Bounty Program

## Summary
Proposal to allocate $5,000 USDC from FutureDAO treasury to develop RugBounty.xyz, a platform that incentivizes community members to onboard rugged project victims to FutureDAO's Token Migration tool. The program creates bounties for successful migrations (defined as raising >60% of presale target in SOL), positioning FutureDAO as "Solana's Emergency Response Team (S.E.R.T.)".

## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz
- **Proposal Number:** 2
- **Created:** 2024-06-14
- **Ended:** 2024-06-17
- **Completed:** 2024-06-19

## Budget Breakdown
- Platform Development: $3,000 USDC
- Website: $1,000 USDC
- QA: $1,000 USDC
- Operational Costs (API & Hosting): $1,000+ USDC
- $FUTURE bounties: TBD based on project scope

## Significance
This proposal represents FutureDAO's strategic positioning as infrastructure for community recovery from rug pulls, extending their Token Migration tool with a bounty-based incentive layer. The program creates a structured mechanism for value recovery that could establish FutureDAO as essential crisis response infrastructure in the Solana ecosystem.

The bounty structure (rewarding "pirates" who successfully onboard rugged communities) is a novel application of futarchy-governed capital to community organizing, treating rug pull recovery as a coordination problem with financial incentives.
