## Team / Description
# Manna — Futard.io Raise Description
> **"Borrow against your SOL. Keep the upside."**
> Manna is a zero-interest CDP protocol on Solana. Deposit SOL, mint solUSD, pay once.
---
## What We're Building
Manna is a Liquity V1-style Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) protocol on Solana. Users deposit SOL as collateral, mint **solUSD** (a decentralized stablecoin pegged to $1), and pay only a **one-time borrowing fee — no ongoing interest, ever.**
The peg is maintained by two hard mechanisms:
1. **Redemptions** — solUSD can always be exchanged for $1 of SOL, creating a hard floor.
2. **Liquidations** — vaults below the minimum collateral ratio are liquidated via the Stability Pool, where stakers earn SOL at a discount.
Governance will be launched via **MetaDAO** — full futarchy from day one. The market decides what's value-accretive.

## Market & Differentiation
### Target Market
| Segment | Pain Point | Manna's Answer |
|---|---|---|
| SOL holders | Want liquidity without selling | Borrow solUSD against SOL, zero interest |
| Leveraged traders | Need cheap leverage on SOL | 125% min CR = max capital efficiency |
| DeFi stablecoin users | Want a trust-minimized, decentralized USD | Non-custodial, no governance attack surface |
| Stability Pool stakers | Want yield without impermanent loss risk | Earn SOL at a discount when liquidations happen |
**Primary beachhead:** SOL holders with >10 SOL who want liquidity without triggering a taxable sell event. This is a large, underserved segment on Solana.
### Competitive Edge
| | **solUSD (Manna)** | **USX (Solstice)** | **USDv (Solomon)** | **jupUSD (Jupiter)** | **USDGO (OSL)** |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Mechanism** | CDP · overcollateralized | Delta-neutral synthetic | Yield-bearing backed | RWA-backed (BlackRock BUIDL + USDe) | Fiat-backed · regulated |
| **Backing** | SOL (native) | BTC, ETH, SOL + perp shorts, stablecoins, tokenized treasuries | On-chain dollar yield strategies | 90% USDtb (BlackRock BUIDL), 10% USDe (Ethena) | USD deposits · KYC-gated |
| **User gives up asset?** | ❌ Keep SOL exposure | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
| **Ongoing Interest** | ✅ None | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
| **Minting** | Permissionless (open to all) | Permissioned (institutions only) via DEX otherwise | Permissionless | Permissionless | Permissioned (KYC required) |
| **Decentralized** | ✅ Fully | ⚠️ Hybrid (custody: Copper + Ceffu) | ⚠️ Partial | ⚠️ Partial (backed by centralized instruments) | ❌ No |
| **Hard $1 Floor** | ✅ On-chain redemptions | ⚠️ Soft (institutional redemptions) | ⚠️ Soft | ⚠️ Soft | ✅ Fiat-backed |
| **SOL upside retained** | ✅ Full | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| **Governance** | MetaDAO (Futarchy) | None | Unknown | JUP DAO | Centralized |
| **Status** | Launching 2026 | Live (Sept 2025) · Largest Solana-native stablecoin | Live | Live (Jan 2026) | Live (Feb 2026) |
**Manna's moat:**
- **0% interest** — nobody on Solana offers this. The entire borrow cost is the one-time fee (0.5% base).
- **Solana-native speed and cost** — transactions settle in 400ms at <$0.01.
- **Futarchy governance** — the only CDP on Solana governed by prediction markets, not a multisig or token vote.
- **SOL-only collateral** — simplicity is a security property. No oracle complexity, no multi-asset liquidation cascades.
### Go-To-Market
**Phase 1 — Core DeFi users (Months 13 post-launch)**
- Target: power users on Jupiter, Kamino, and MarginFi looking for a cheaper borrow
- Channels: X/Twitter, Solana DeFi Twitter community, MetaDAO community
- Metric: $5M TVL
**Phase 2 — Stability Pool TVL (Months 36)**
- Target: solUSD holders seeking yield; integrate solUSD into Orca/Raydium pools
- Channels: integrations, liquidity mining incentives from protocol revenue
- Metric: $2M in Stability Pool
**Phase 3 — solUSD adoption as collateral (Months 612)**
- Target: get solUSD listed as collateral on MarginFi, Drift, or Kamino
- Channel: DAO-to-DAO proposals via MetaDAO governance
- Metric: solUSD circulating supply >$10M

## Use of Funds
**Raise Target: $120,000 USDC**
**Runway: 12 months**
**Monthly Spend Limit (onchain enforced): $10,000/mo**
### Monthly Burn Breakdown
| Category | Monthly Cost | % of Burn | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Core Team** | $7,000 | 70% | 1 full-time founder + part-time contributor |
| **Infrastructure** | $1,000 | 10% | RPC nodes (Helius), monitoring (Datadog), VPS, domains |
| **Marketing & Community** | $1,500 | 15% | X ads, KOL outreach, content, bounties |
| **Security & Legal** | $500 | 5% | Audit prep, Cayman entity maintenance, bug bounty fund |
| **Total** | **$10,000** | **100%** | |
**Runway math:** $120,000 ÷ $10,000/mo = **12 months**
### What this raise specifically funds:
1. **Smart contract security audit** — estimated $15,00025,000
2. **Mainnet deployment and monitoring** for the first 3 months
3. **Founder runway** to work full-time on the protocol without distraction
4. **Liquidity bootstrapping** — initial Stability Pool seed to ensure liquidations work at launch

## Why Futard.io
Manna's governance model is built on futarchy — the same philosophy powering Futard.io and MetaDAO. This isn't just a funding round; it's the first step in building a DAO that governs a real protocol by prediction markets.
Raise participants will have **onchain governance exposure** to every major protocol decision — not through token votes that can be gamed, but through decision markets where the market price signals what's actually value-accretive.
We're not pitching to VCs. We're raising from the community that will use and govern the protocol.
