# SeekerVault: Futardio Fundraise
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
SeekerVault attempted to raise $50,000 through Futardio to build encrypted decentralized backup and AI agent storage infrastructure for the 150,000+ Solana Seeker phone users. The project positioned itself as replacing Google Drive/iCloud with Walrus + Seal-based storage, with a roadmap including creator vaults, data marketplace, and AI agent memory storage. The raise failed, collecting only $2,095 (4.2% of target) before entering refunding status.
|

|
|
## Market Data
|
|
|
|
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
|
|
- **Raise Target:** $50,000
|
|
- **Total Committed:** $2,095
|
|
- **Duration:** 1 day (2026-03-08 to 2026-03-09)
|
|
- **Use of Funds:** $8K/month for 6+ months (engineering $4K, infrastructure $3K, growth $1K)
|
|
|
|
## Product Vision
|
|
|
|
**Core offering:**
|
|
1. Encrypted backup replacing iCloud for Seeker users (20MB free, 100GB for $10/month in SKR)
|
|
2. AI agent vault for persistent encrypted memory storage
|
|
3. Token-gated creator vaults for content monetization
|
|
4. Data marketplace for on-chain digital content sales
|
|
|
|
**Token utility (SKV):**
|
|
- Discounted storage pricing when paying with SKV
|
|
- Revenue split: subscription payments in SKR feed treasury, SKV payments create buy pressure
|
|
- Creator economy transaction fees flow to DAO treasury
|
|
|
|
## Significance
|
|
|
|
This launch tests whether:
|
|
1. **Captive hardware TAM** (150K Seeker users) translates to fundraising demand
|
|
2. **AI agent storage** as a value proposition resonates before the use case is proven
|
|
3. **Multi-phase roadmap** (backup → creator tools → marketplace) is credible at $50K scale
|
|
|
|
The 4.2% fill rate suggests either:
|
|
- Market skepticism about execution risk (2-person team, ambitious roadmap)
|
|
- Seeker user base is smaller/less engaged than claimed
|
|
- Storage-as-a-service lacks narrative appeal compared to DeFi/meme primitives
|
|
- Timing mismatch (dApp Store listing still in review, no live traction proof)
|
