BlockRock
BlockRock is a futarchy-governed ownership fund positioning itself as "BlackRock on the blockchain." Launched on MetaDAO's Futardio platform in March 2026, BlockRock aims to provide actively managed liquid asset allocation on Solana with treasury-backed tokens, decision markets for governance, and AI agents for proposal generation.
The fund explicitly contrasts itself with traditional asset managers (citing BlackRock's 73% management fee revenue vs 5% performance fee revenue) and with failed futarchy experiments like MtnCapital (which struggled with illiquid VC deal pricing). BlockRock's mandate focuses on liquid onchain assets — spot markets, perpetual futures, lending markets, structured yield products, and tokenized RWAs — to give futarchy markets the pricing efficiency they require.
The initial fundraise targeted $500K but entered refunding status, suggesting the launch did not meet minimum thresholds.

Relationship to KB
- Tests futarchy-governed entities are structurally not securities because prediction market participation replaces the concentrated promoter effort that the Howey test requires
- Implements token economics replacing management fees and carried interest creates natural meritocracy in investment governance
- Builds on MetaDAO is the futarchy launchpad on Solana where projects raise capital through unruggable ICOs governed by conditional markets creating the first platform for ownership coins at scale
- Contrasts with MtnCapital's failure on illiquid VC deals
