The First Futarchy-Governed AI Music Network on Solana
We launch autonomous AI music artists. The community funds, governs, and scales them. Every release, treasury action, and growth decision is onchain.
Phonon is raising to build, operate, and scale a self-sustaining AI music ecosystem governed entirely through MetaDAO's futarchy system.
Phonon is an AI agent music generation platform. Anyone can create a tokenized AI music artist that can release songs autonomously, builds a fan base, trades as a tokenized asset on Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Pool protocol, and generates trading volume tied to its popularity. Creators of these AI artists earn 24/7 from trading fees.
The ecosystem is designed around multiple compounding revenue sources: AI artist token trading fees, launch fees for new artists, secondary market liquidity incentives, platform-native discovery mechanics, and future integrations with streaming and licensing rails, as well via AI music generation credits.
Music is one of the largest global entertainment markets. AI generated content supply is accelerating exponentially. Onchain trading provides native monetization without middlemen. Popularity maps directly to measurable token activity with clean engagement metrics. Resulting in global distribution from day one with infinite scalability and zero physical constraints.
Unlike traditional music platforms, Phonon transforms artists into autonomous agents, fans into traders, and attention into market activity.
Phonon is not a concept. It is live, shipping, and iterating.
9owls Founder, Phonon Studio. Built and launched a live AI-agent music protocol on Solana. Background in AI systems, token mechanics, and growth-driven product development. Focused on merging autonomous agents with onchain financial primitives.
There is no voting. There is only trading.
When a proposal is made, for example, "Allocate $50K to liquidity incentives for top-performing AI artists" two conditional markets open. Traders buy into whichever outcome they believe creates more long-term value. The market determines the result.
The team cannot access treasury directly. A defined monthly allowance funds base operations. Anything beyond that requires futarchy market approval. All treasury movements, artist launches, and key metrics are published transparently.
| Category | Allocation |
|---|---|
| AI model infrastructure and compute scaling | 30% |
| Backend and Solana program audits | 15% |
| Liquidity provisioning for artist tokens | 25% |
| Growth and creator acquisition | 20% |
| Operational runway | 10% |
All major capital expenditures are proposed and executed through futarchy governance. The first proposal post-raise will be a treasury allocation for infrastructure scaling and liquidity provisioning — this must pass through decision markets before any funds are deployed.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Raise Target | $88, 888 USDC |
| Monthly Operational Allowance | $11, 777 |
| Token Supply | Fixed max supply (defined at launch) |
If the token never appreciates meaningfully, the team receives nothing. Aligned incentives only.
Futarchy works best when outcomes are measurable. AI music gives us clean metrics.
| KPI | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Weekly song generation growth | Measures platform adoption velocity |
| New AI artists created per week | Tracks creator demand |
| Trading volume per artist token | Signals market engagement |
| Creator retention (30-day) | Validates stickiness |
| Platform fee revenue | Measures path to sustainability |
The goal is to prove that decentralized governance can coordinate autonomous creative economies.
Worst case: A transparent, community governed AI music platform with real users and real revenue mechanics.
Best case: A new asset class, tokenized AI musicians governed entirely by markets. Music rebuilt for the internet-native economy.
Phonon tokens represent governance participation in a DAO. No revenue sharing, yield, or profit guarantees are promised or implied. All contracts, token mints, and program authorities are DAO-managed post-raise. Code is open-source. Governance is transparent. Execution is public.
Phonon is already live which means there is real product market validation, measurable engagement metrics, and shipping velocity. The first futarchy proposal should be built and templated before the raise opens, treasury mechanics should be crystal clear on day one, and team unlocks are tied to objective network growth, not speculation.
The team can spend up to this amount per month from the treasury without a governance proposal. Larger expenditures must be approved by token holders.
Team tokens are locked for an 18-month cliff. After the cliff, the team can trigger a 3-month TWAP evaluation. Tokens unlock in 20% tranches at each price milestone relative to the ICO price of $0.0088888.
| Tranche | Price Target | Unlocked |
|---|---|---|
| 2× ICO price | $0.0177776 | 20% |
| 4× ICO price | $0.0355552 | 40% |
| 8× ICO price | $0.0711104 | 60% |
| 16× ICO price | $0.1422208 | 80% |
| 32× ICO price | $0.2844416 | 100% |
Each tranche unlocks 20% of team tokens. The price target is measured via a 3-month time-weighted average price (TWAP) to prevent short-term manipulation.

By contributing to the fundraise for tokens ("Tokens"), you acknowledge and agree to the Futardio 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 futard.io for convenience of reference only, as third-party content. Furtard.io is a technology platform being used by the prospective project contributors, and the owners and operators of Fudardio.fi and their respective affiliates are not the persons creating, endorsing, sponsoring, or discretionarily operating the ICO. Fudard.io and its owners and operators and their respective affiliates assume no (and by participating in the ICO or otherwise using futard.io, 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 Futard.io 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. All contributions made as part of the fundraise are final and non-refundable. By participating, you understand and accept that you will not be entitled to a refund or compensation under any circumstances, including but not limited to loss of value or inability to use the Tokens.
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 Futard.io 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, Futard.io 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 an uncapped USDC raise. A minimum funding threshold applies. There is no in-protocol cap on the amount that may be claimed beyond the stated minimum. If the minimum funding threshold is not reached, all contributed funds will be returned to participants. 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.
