Salmon Wallet: Futardio Fundraise
Summary
Salmon Wallet, an open-source self-custodial wallet active since 2022, attempted to raise $375,000 through Futardio for 12-month operational runway. The raise failed after one day, achieving only 26% of target ($97,535) before entering refunding status. This represents the first observed futarchy-governed wallet infrastructure project on MetaDAO's platform, distinct from prior meme coin or pure capital allocation launches.
Market Data

Budget Breakdown
- Monthly Burn: $25,000

Significance
First empirical failure case for futarchy-governed operational software infrastructure (vs meme coins or investment vehicles). Project had legitimate credentials: 4 years operational history, listed on Solana wallet adapter since 2022, $122.5K prior funding, own validator operations. The 74% funding shortfall after one day suggests futarchy mechanisms face significant adoption friction even for established projects with real product-market fit, not just speculative launches.
Provides concrete data point on futarchy adoption faces friction from token price psychology proposal complexity and liquidity requirements - a mature operational project with clear use case and budget failed to attract sufficient capital through futarchy governance model.
