# Hurupay: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
Hurupay launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio targeting $3M minimum (ideally $5M+) to scale cross-border stablecoin payment infrastructure. The raise attracted $2M+ in commitments but fell short of the $3M minimum threshold, entering refunding status after the 4-day window closed. The proposal included detailed traction metrics ($7.2M/month volume, 32% MoM growth, $36M+ processed in 12 months) and capital allocation plans focused on distribution, sales team expansion, and compliance infrastructure.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunding)
- **Funding Target:** $3,000,000 minimum
- **Total Committed:** $2,003,593 (66.8% of target)
- **Duration:** 2026-02-03 to 2026-02-07 (4 days)
- **Token Allocation:**
- 39.02% to ICO (10M tokens)
- 42.66% to team on 3-year lockup (10.93M tokens)
- 11.31% to liquidity (2.9M tokens)
- 7% to previous investors on 2-year vest (1.79M tokens)
## Significance
First major futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio for a company with significant existing traction and revenue. The failure despite strong fundamentals ($500K+ revenue, 30K+ users, institutional backing) provides data on market appetite for futarchy ICOs and the challenges of hitting minimum thresholds in permissionless launch environments. The refunding mechanism demonstrated the "unruggable ICO" promise - investors received full capital return when the minimum wasn't met.
