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:
- Redemptions — solUSD can always be exchanged for $1 of SOL, creating a hard floor.
- 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.

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 1–3 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 3–6)
- 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 6–12)
- 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:
- Smart contract security audit — estimated $15,000–25,000
- Mainnet deployment and monitoring for the first 3 months
- Founder runway to work full-time on the protocol without distraction
- 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.
Manna Protocol — manna.finance Built on Solana. Governed by futarchy.
