Curated thematic index tokens on Solana. Mint one share, hold the whole basket.

## Status

- state: OVERSUBSCRIBED
- goal (hard cap on what the project receives): $10,000
- committed: $17,509 across 29 backers
- demand: 1.8× the goal
- raised (received by the project): $10,000
- claimable back by backers: $7,509
- split of raised: $8,000 treasury · $2,000 liquidity

## The deal

- token price at goal (everyone pays this): $0.001
- MCAP at open (team package excluded): $12,900
- FDV (all tokens, locked included): $25,800
- total supply (fixed; minting needs a market-approved proposal): 25,800,000
- supply split: backers 10,000,000 (38.8%) · liquidity 2,900,000 (11.2%) · team 12,900,000 (50.0%)
- share of supply sold to backers: 38.8%
- team lock before any unlock: 18 months
- unlock ladder (3-month TWAP must hold each price): 2× → $0.002 · 4× → $0.004 · 8× → $0.008 · 16× → $0.016 · 32× → $0.032
- monthly budget after funding (onchain ceiling): $1,000
- at close (escrow releases): $8,000 to treasury (80.0%) · $2,000 seeds liquidity
- runway at that budget: ~8.0 months

## Protections (identical for every raise)

- Commitments sit in escrow; the team receives $0 unless the goal is met.
- Goal missed → every backer claims back 100% of principal. The claim is a
  transaction the backer sends themselves; nothing arrives automatically,
  nobody can refuse it, and there is no deadline.
- After funding, spending above the published monthly budget requires a
  proposal decided by decision markets, not by the team.
- Tokens are not equity and may be worth nothing.

## What the token is, and is not

Both halves matter, and reading either alone gives the wrong answer.

**It is not** a security, equity, loan or ownership interest. Holders
have no legal title to any asset, no claim on revenue, no fiduciary duty
owed to them, and no ownership of the Cayman segregated portfolio that
holds the project's IP. There is no promise of return, buyback or
future utility.

**It is** a governance claim in a decision market. The treasury is
governed by that market rather than by the team, spending above the
published monthly budget has to pass it, and the segregated portfolio is
contractually required to abide by certain of its determinations. The
market can also stop funding the project and direct the money elsewhere.

So "the DAO controls X" and "holders own nothing" are both accurate: the
first is control through the mechanism, the second is legal title.

**The mechanism is the top of the stack.** The constraints above are the
structure's current settings, not its ceiling — the operating documents
are themselves subject to the decision market, within the scope those
documents define. This is the point most readers miss, and it cuts in
both directions, which is why it is not a reassurance:

- The market can authorise things nobody promised at the raise.
- The market can also withdraw things a backer assumed. It "may revoke
  funds out of the pool at any time, or may cease using the funds for the
  currently contemplated project" (fundraise terms, paragraph 5).
- Governance power is not legal effect. The market deciding to do a thing
  does not by itself make that thing lawful or effective; anything with
  its own regulatory path still has to travel it.

The correct reading is therefore not "the page and the terms contradict
each other" but "nothing here is fixed except the escrow and the claim."
Score the raise on that basis. A page describing what the mechanism could
authorise is not making a promise; a page claiming holders *own* an asset
outright is overstating it, and that is still worth flagging.

## Diligence signals

- disclosure score (mechanical — counts what the founder chose to show, not idea quality): 2/9 — missing: six required answers, market size cites a source, a metric with a date, a founder-stated risk, a named, linked team member, demo, docs or code linked, B1 filing published
- B1 transparency filing: not filed (predates the requirement)
- concentration: top wallet HjGTDqYEqv8bd3m5Y2GkqXs3mbgbvzrBzyENb4JxojR8 holds 17.1% of committed capital (sample: first 29 funding records)
- vetting: none — anyone can publish a raise for $15; do your own research

## Founder's pitch (verbatim, frozen at publish, unreviewed)

## What is Basket

Basket won the [JustSparkIdeas](https://x.com/JustSparkIdeas) hackathon, where the community awarded me a $3,000 investment through a decision market. This raise is the next step: taking that validation on-chain and shipping Basket to Solana.

Basket turns a whole thematic portfolio into a single SPL token. Instead of buying and managing 7 tokens by hand, you mint one share and hold the entire basket: AI compute, DePIN, LSTs, bluechips, RWAs, and more. Redemption is atomic, so you burn the share and get the underlying components back anytime.

I built two curation models. Fixed-weight baskets let curators pin value targets, and the chain restores them on drift within tolerance bands, giving set-and-forget exposure. Dynamic-weight baskets let curators pin units while weights float with the market, so there is no rebalancing and you get pure market-cap tracking.

## Why it matters

Index products are the default on-ramp in every mature market. On Solana, retail still hand-assembles narrative baskets one swap at a time, which is slow, expensive, and impossible to rebalance cleanly. I built Basket to make thematic exposure a one-click primitive, with transparent on-chain composition and curator-set strategies.

## Market & Differentiation

The market is Solana users who want narrative or thematic exposure without managing a dozen positions, the same demand that made ETFs and DeFi index tokens dominant elsewhere. My edge is a native SPL wrapper that composes everywhere Solana tokens go, atomic mint and redeem, and a dual fixed and dynamic weighting engine that most index products do not offer. My go-to-market runs on curated flagship baskets per narrative at a low average fee, distributed through the Spark ecosystem and partner curators.

## Use of Funds

Lean by design. The raise funds a $1,000 per month operating allowance covering my salary and the tooling and infrastructure I need to run the baskets: AI tools, RPC and hosting, and the services required to keep them live on-chain. My goal is a long runway on a small, disciplined budget, enough to ship and grow without overcommitting backer capital.

## Roadmap & Milestones

I will ship the product within one month. That means a public release of Basket on Solana mainnet with mint and redeem live and the first curated flagship baskets available. After launch, I shift focus entirely to growing TVL through distribution: onboarding curators, expanding the basket catalog per narrative.
