## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** Blockworks/The Block, Umbra ICO April 2026
Umbra's Unruggable ICO structure directly eliminates founder treasury control by requiring teams to lock treasury AND intellectual property under a DAO LLC in the Marshall Islands, managed by MetaDAO. Monthly budget is fixed at $34K/month for Umbra and can only change via futarchy governance approval. This structural constraint prevents the founder extraction problem that killed legacy ICOs by removing founder discretion entirely and replacing it with market-tested governance.

# Umbra # Umbra Privacy Protocol
Umbra is a privacy protocol on Solana enabling shielded transactions, private swaps, and anonymous asset management using zero-knowledge proofs. Holds the record for highest MetaDAO oversubscription at 206x ($154.9M committed against a $750K target, raised $3M final). Led by @kru_tweets with contributors @losingw0nder, @josh_trader19, @0xSn0wMan, @lare888. ## Overview
## Product Features Umbra is an Arcium-powered privacy protocol on Solana that conducted its ICO via MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO futarchy launchpad in April 2026.
- **Auto-Claim Anonymity:** Automatic privacy preservation during fund receipt ## Key Facts
- **Distress Mode:** Decoy interface for physical security situations
- **Hidden Browser UI:** Prevents accidental exposure
- **Private Swaps:** Token swaps without visible on-chain trail (40-50 second average)
- **Compliance Integration:** Built-in Range compliance for regulatory adherence
- **SDK:** Open SDK at sdk.umbraprivacy.com for third-party integration
## Technical Architecture - **Technology**: Arcium-powered privacy layer on Solana
- **Governance**: Futarchy-governed via MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO structure
- Zero-knowledge proof technology for private computation - **Legal Structure**: DAO LLC in Marshall Islands with treasury and IP locked under MetaDAO management
- Cross-platform: iOS (TestFlight), Android, Chrome Extension, web app - **Monthly Budget**: $34K/month (fixed, changeable only via futarchy governance)
- Four initial liquidity pools: $UMBRA, $SOL, $USDC, $USDT
- At launch: $0.42 price, $1.8M treasury AUM, ~15M circulating supply
## Gaps
- Treasury multisig address unknown
- Current market cap and price data needed
- Total supply not confirmed
- LP pool addresses needed
- Revenue metrics not documented
## Timeline ## Timeline
- **2025-Q1** — Private mainnet beta testing - **2026-04-28** — Completed ICO via MetaDAO's Unruggable ICO launchpad, raising $155M in commitments (206x oversubscription) from 10,518 investors against $750K target. Pro-rata allocation resulted in ~$9.5M retained (1169% oversubscription metric). Token performance: 700% return post-ICO per Phemex.
- **2025-03-26** — Public mainnet launch (TestFlight v2.2.2 Build 16)
- **2025-10-06 to 2025-10-10** — MetaDAO ICO: $750K target, $154.9M committed, $3M raised (206x oversubscribed)
- **2025-Q2** — Android/web rollout, swap optimization
--- ## Significance
Relevant Notes: Umbra represents the largest single MetaDAO ICO by commitment volume and demonstrates the Unruggable ICO structure at scale. The 10,518 investor count is the highest documented for any MetaDAO ICO, showing significant distribution improvement over earlier launches like P2P.me (336 contributors).
