# BlockRock
|
|
|
|
**Futarchy-governed asset management fund positioning as 'BlackRock on the blockchain.'** Launched on MetaDAO's Futardio platform 2026-03-05 with mandate for liquid asset allocation using AI proposal generation and conditional decision markets. Failed to reach funding target ($100 raised vs $500K goal), entered refunding status 2026-03-06.
|
|
|
|
BlockRock's charter argued traditional asset managers suffer from fee misalignment (BlackRock earns 73% revenue from management fees vs 5% performance fees), regulatory restrictions, and organizational bloat (20K+ employees). Proposed solution: treasury-backed ownership tokens, futarchy governance for portfolio decisions, and AI agents generating continuous proposal stream.
|
|
|
|
The launch failure suggests futarchy adoption friction extends beyond governance DAOs into asset management applications, despite sophisticated value proposition.
