BlockRock
BlockRock is a futarchy-governed "ownership fund" that launched on MetaDAO's permissionless launchpad on 2026-03-05. Positioned as "BlackRock on the Blockchain," it attempted to create an asset management vehicle using treasury-backed tokens, decision markets, and AI agents for liquid asset allocation on Solana. The launch targeted $500K but raised only $100 and entered REFUNDING status within 24 hours.
BlockRock's architecture explicitly learned from MtnCapital's failure with illiquid VC investments, instead focusing on liquid onchain assets (spot markets, perps, lending, RWAs) where futarchy's pricing mechanisms can function effectively. The charter emphasized three pillars: ownership (treasury-backed tokens with minimal fees), futarchy (market-governed decisions), and AI (agents as continuous proposal generators).
