Jurassic Finance: Tokenizing Museum-Grade Dinosaur Fossils on Solana
Jurassic Finance Labs is raising to build, operate, and scale the platform that brings Sotheby's-level collectibles to retail. Jurassic Finance is for anyone who wants exposure to the alternative assets that have historically been locked behind the multi million dollar minimums.
What we're building
Jurassic Finance Labs will originate, authenticate, and structure individual fossil SPVs. Each SPV is a standalone vehicle with its own token, holding legally enforceable fractional ownership of a single authenticated specimen.
$RAWR is the governance and ownership token of the Labs entity. $RAWR holders also govern every SPV the Labs entity launches, meaning a single $RAWR position carries governance rights across the full Jurassic Finance fossil portfolio, not just the Labs operating treasury.
Use of Funds
Raise I — Jurassic Finance Labs:
Raise II — First SPV ($1M, Q3 2026): A separate raise to acquire the inaugural authenticated Triceratops head. $TRCH1 holders receive direct economic rights to the underlying specimen. Not part of this Futardio round.
Monthly Allowance
The team operates on a defined monthly allowance of $8,000. Any expenditure beyond that requires a futarchy proposal and market approval.
Why fossils
Upside case
We're not selling a 100x venture outcome. We're selling a real business with a clear path to a $20M–$50M operating entity over 3–5 years.
The math: a single mid-tier fossil SPV ($1M–$5M acquisition) generates origination fees, ongoing platform fees, and lending market spread for the Labs entity. Five to ten SPVs over 24 months, a realistic pipeline given current authenticated supply, produces enough recurring fee income to compound the treasury without further dilution. The lending market against SPV tokens (Q4 2026) adds a second revenue stream that scales with TVL.
A $400K–$500K FDV at launch with $RAWR governing the full portfolio means the math works for Futardio investors at outcomes far short of unicorn territory. We've designed this to be fundable on its actual probability of success, not on a tail-risk distribution.
Demand
Rally has $500M in assets and Masterworks has 880K users, both proving one thing: people desperately want access to high-value collectibles they'd never afford outright. Both are Web2, centralized platforms with no onchain ownership, no secondary liquidity, and no value accrual while you hold. Their assets sit in a warehouse collecting dust, while ours are displayed in museums gaining value through scientific research, press coverage, and public exposure.
What we've done so far
Team
Sora — CEO
Vukan — COO
We've spent the last three years operating publicly on Solana. Communicating with markets, holders, and ecosystem partners is the day job. Public-by-default is how we already work.
Emergency authority
If a specimen is at imminent physical or legal risk — fire, theft, regulatory seizure, transit failure — the team is authorized to act unilaterally to protect the asset and ratify the action with governance retroactively. This is a narrow clause limited to asset protection, not strategic decisions.
Specimen sale lockup
Once a specimen is acquired by the Labs entity or an associated SPV, no proposal to sell that specimen may be brought to governance for a minimum of 24 months from the acquisition date. This protects against short-horizon market behavior and ensures specimens have time to appreciate and build narrative value before any liquidity event is considered.
Roadmap
May 8, 2026: MetaDAO permissionless ICO opens — $RAWR — $200K target, 7-day window
May 11, 2026: Colosseum Frontier hackathon submission deadline. SuperteamBLKN Buildstation participation
Q3 2026
Q4 2026
2027
*All figures are approximate and subject to change. Expenditures beyond the monthly allowance require futarchy approval.
Long-term vision
The goal is to prove that decentralized governance can coordinate the origination, custody, and fractionalization of real-world collectibles transparently, starting with the most universally recognized asset class no one can own.
Worst case, a fully transparent, community-governed fossil tokenization platform. Best case, a blueprint for futarchy-directed RWA infrastructure across every asset class that has been gated by capital, geography, or institutional access.
This is finance rebuilt for the past.

Applies to every raise on Backable, this one included. Not legal or financial advice.
By contributing to the fundraise for tokens ("Tokens"), you acknowledge and agree to the Backable Terms of Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you also acknowledge and agree to all of the following information, terms and conditions:
The above descriptions, terms, and other content were created, determined, and supplied exclusively by prospective project contributors related to the ICO and are being republished on Backable for convenience of reference only, as third-party content. Backable is a technology platform being used by the prospective project contributors, and the owners and operators of Backable and their respective affiliates are not the persons creating, endorsing, sponsoring, or discretionarily operating the ICO. Backable and its owners and operators and their respective affiliates assume no (and by participating in the ICO or otherwise using Backable, you agree that they shall not have any) responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the above descriptions, terms and other content, or any other representations, statements, opinions, projections, terms, or information made by or on behalf of the prospective project contributors in connection with the ICO.
The following terms and conditions apply between you, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, both the owners and operators (and their affiliates) of Backable or MetaDAO and the prospective ICO project contributors and related legal entity(ies) and their respective affiliates:
No Guarantees. The Tokens are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. Participation in the fundraise does not come with any guarantees, promises, or assurances of any kind, including—but not limited to—financial return, performance, future utility, or access to any platform, product, or service.
Not an Offer of Securities. The Tokens do not represent a security, equity, loan, or ownership interest in any entity or project. Participation in this fundraise is not intended to be, and shall not be construed as, an offering of securities, nor does it constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction where such activity is unlawful. You are responsible to refrain from participation in the ICO if your jurisdiction does not permit such participation.
Final Sale, Except As The Program Provides. Except for the amounts the escrow program itself makes claimable — described in paragraph 7 — contributions made as part of the fundraise are final. No party has the discretion to refund you, and you will not be entitled to a refund or compensation on any other basis, including loss of value or inability to use the Tokens. Where the program does make an amount claimable, no party has the discretion to withhold it either.
No Liability for Losses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, neither the organizers of this fundraise nor any of their affiliates, agents, advisors, officers, or representatives shall be liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage you may suffer, including without limitation: trading losses, loss of data, revenue, profit, or opportunity; or any errors, delays, or technical failures related to the fundraise or the Tokens.
Nature of Token MetaDAO Platform ICOs. You acknowledge and agree that the ICO is a transaction entirely by and among ICO participants, in which such participants contribute certain blockchain tokens into the sole control or custody of Solana-based "smart contracts" or "programs" as a method of establishing a decentralized autonomous decision market oriented toward the research, development, promotion and/or utilization of the above-described project. The ensuing market oracle–sometimes also referred to as a type of "DAO"-- is intended to govern both the deposited tokens and aspects of the related project, using "Futarchy". These smart contracts or programs exist independently of Backable or MetaDAO, on the Solana blockchain, and do not have a legal "owner" or "custodian", but instead will be controlled by the market-based governance process embedded in the decision market protocol, as expressed in the code of the smart contracts/programs. The deposited tokens do not represent a capital investment in any legal entity (including the legal entity referred to in the following paragraph) or group of managers or entrepreneurs, and the decision market may revoke funds out of the pool at any time, or may cease using the funds for the currently contemplated project or using them to pay the currently contemplated prospective project contributors, and may instead use them for other purposes, as determined by the decision market oracle aka "DAO." The current prospective project contributors will not immediately own or have any discretionary or managerial control of the deposit pool, and any related services such prospective project contributors provide will be on an independent contractor basis to the community, as determined on an ongoing basis by the decision market oracle aka "DAO." The tokens issued by the program/smart contract in exchange for deposited funds are not initially owned by, and are not being sold or offered by, Backable or MetaDAO or the prospective project contributors or any related entity(ies), but rather are issued by the smart-contract/system itself to enable ongoing functionality of the related decision market oracle aka "DAO". Any funds received from the deposit pool by the current prospective project contributors or future project contributors represent retroactive or prospective compensation for work done or to be done by such project contributors that is approved by the related decision market oracle aka "DAO", on the initiative of, and based on the managerial or entrepreneurial efforts of, participants in that market aka "DAO participants".
DAO-Adjacent Entity aka BORG. One or more members of the prospective project contributors may have established a particular type of legal entity related to the project. These entities, known as cybernetic organizations, aka 'BORGs", hold intellectual property related to the project and may receive the funds, if any, determined by the decision market oracle to be paid to the prospective project contributors as compensation for work done or to be done related to the project. BORGs contain special rules designed to provide accountability of project contributors to the community, including prohibiting the issuance of equity securities and requirements to consult the decision market oracle (sometimes on a signaling basis, sometimes on a binding basis) for decisions related to their work on the project and the related intellectual property and assets. Many of these entities are "segregated portfolios" of a Cayman Islands entity called Futarchy Governance SPC. Segregated portfolios provide separate layers of assets and liabilities within this entity, and each particular segregated portfolio is managed in the sole discretion of its "Manager(s)", subject to the terms and conditions of Futarchy Governance SPC and the Operating Agreement of that specific segregated portfolio. The ICO does not represent an investment in the SPC or segregated portfolio, and participants in the ICO and holders of the tokens being issued in the ICO do not have any legal rights in or ownership of the SPC or segregated portfolio, and are not owed any fiduciary or other duties by the participants in the SPC or segregated portfolio, but the SPC, in respect of the segregated portfolio, is legally required to abide by certain determinations of the decision market created by the ICO. Please review the project description above to determine the specific legal entity(ies) or other arrangements identified by the prospective project contributors. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed, or had the opportunity to review, the information and documents presented or linked to from that description and acknowledge, consent to and accept the risks of all related legal entities and arrangements.
Understanding the Mechanism. This is an onchain fundraising mechanism with a fixed token supply and a stated funding goal. Commitments are not capped, but the amount the project receives is: everything committed above the goal remains the property of the participant who committed it. If the funding goal is not reached by close, every participant may reclaim the whole of their contribution. If the goal is exceeded, each participant may reclaim whatever part of their contribution did not convert into Tokens. These amounts are claimed, not sent. They are released by the program when you submit a claim transaction from the wallet that made the contribution. Nobody can approve, condition, delay or refuse that claim, there is no deadline for making it, and equally nobody can make it on your behalf. The same is true of the Tokens themselves in a funded raise. By participating, you confirm that you understand the program and have reviewed the relevant documentation available at https://docs.metadao.fi.
By contributing or attempting to contribute to the fundraise for Tokens, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms above.
