# Cloak: Futardio Fundraise
## Summary
Cloak attempted to raise $300,000 through Futardio's unruggable ICO mechanism to fund development of private DCA infrastructure on Solana. The project proposed using ZK-proof privacy pools to break the on-chain link between user wallets and trading strategies, addressing MEV extraction and surveillance concerns. The fundraise failed to reach its target, collecting only $1,455 (0.485% of goal) before closing and issuing full refunds.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Failed (refunded)
- **Raise Target:** $300,000
- **Total Committed:** $1,455
- **Commitment Rate:** 0.485%
- **Launch Date:** 2026-03-03
- **Close Date:** 2026-03-04
- **Window:** 24 hours
## Token Structure
- **Total Supply:** 15.9M $CLOAK (12.9M circulating at launch)
- **ICO Allocation:** 10M tokens (62.9%) at $0.03/token
- **Liquidity:** 2.9M tokens (18.2%) split between Futarchy AMM (2M) and Meteora (900K)
- **Team:** 3M tokens (18.9%) performance-locked with 2x/4x/8x/16x/32x price triggers, 18-month minimum cliff
- **FDV at Launch:** ~$477,000
## Use of Funds Proposal
- **Team:** 40% ($120K) — $5K/month per founder for 2-person team
- **Security Audit:** 10% ($30K) — smart contract + ZK proof audit
- **Infrastructure:** 6% ($18K) — RPC, hosting, keeper bot (~$1,500/month)
- **Operations:** 4% ($12K) — legal, domain, marketing
- **Treasury Reserve:** 40% ($120K) — held for scaling, additional hires, future audits
## Product Status at Launch
- Private beta live on Solana mainnet
- Privacy.cash ZK-proof pool integration complete
- Session wallet architecture deployed
- Jupiter integration for execution
- Solana Blinks support shipped
- Supported assets: SOL, cbBTC, ZEC
- First RWA integration: Oro (tokenized gold)
## Significance
This fundraise represents one of the earliest attempts to build privacy infrastructure for DeFi execution on Solana, specifically targeting the MEV extraction and surveillance problems inherent in transparent DCA strategies. The extreme failure rate (0.485% of target) suggests either:
1. Market skepticism about privacy product-market fit on Solana
2. Insufficient traction/validation in private beta to justify $300K raise
3. Team/execution risk concerns given early-stage product
4. Timing issues (24-hour window may have been insufficient for discovery)
The performance-locked team token structure (0 tokens circulating at launch, unlocks only at 2x+ price multiples) represented strong alignment, but was insufficient to overcome other concerns.

# Cloak
Cloak is a privacy infrastructure protocol on Solana that enables private DCA (dollar-cost averaging) execution through ZK-proof privacy pools. The protocol routes trades through unlinkable session wallets to break the on-chain link between user wallets and trading strategies. Launched via Futardio fundraise on 2026-03-03, the project failed to reach its $300K target and refunded all commitments.
## Timeline
- **2026-03-03** — Futardio fundraise launched with $300K target for private DCA infrastructure on Solana
- **2026-03-04** — Fundraise closed with only $1,455 committed (0.5% of target), full refund issued
## Relationship to KB
- [[futardio]] — launch platform
- [[MetaDAO]] — futarchy governance infrastructure
- Product positioned as privacy layer for DeFi execution, addressing MEV extraction and surveillance concerns

## Competitive Position
- **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees
- **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."

extraction_notes: "Futardio launch that failed dramatically (0.485% of target). Pure entity extraction — no novel claims about futarchy mechanisms or privacy infrastructure beyond what's already in KB. The extreme failure rate is a data point but doesn't generate a claim without comparative context or mechanism insight. Team token structure (performance-locked with price triggers) is interesting but not novel enough for standalone claim given existing KB coverage of performance-based vesting."
