Decentralized data sovereignty and monetization protocol built for the Solana Seeker device. Attempted to raise $75K through Futardio to fund 6 months of operations building a decentralized storage layer using Walrus protocol and Seal for secrets management. The raise failed dramatically, attracting only $1,186 in commitments before entering refunding status.

Relationship to KB
Case study in futarchy-governed fundraise failure. Demonstrates that futarchy-based fundraising creates regulatory separation because there are no beneficial owners and investment decisions emerge from market forces not centralized control does not guarantee market interest. The 98.4% funding gap suggests either poor product-market fit, weak go-to-market execution, or insufficient credibility in the team/technical approach. Relevant to MetaDAO is the futarchy launchpad on Solana where projects raise capital through unruggable ICOs governed by conditional markets creating the first platform for ownership coins at scale as a negative outcome example.
