# 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
- **Outcome:** Failed (Refunding)
- **Raise Target:** $375,000
- **Total Committed:** $97,535 (26% of target)
- **Launch Date:** 2026-03-03
- **Closed Date:** 2026-03-04
- **Token:** SAL (Salmon Token)
- **Platform:** Futardio v0.7
## Budget Breakdown
- **Monthly Burn:** $25,000
- Team: $18,300/mo (73%)
- Infrastructure: $4,200/mo (17%)
- Growth & Ecosystem: $2,000/mo (8%)
- Governance, Legal & Contingency: $500/mo (2%)
## 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.
