 # Cloak: Futardio Fundraise
 
 ## Summary
-Cloak launched a futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio seeking $300K to build privacy-focused DCA infrastructure on Solana. The protocol promised ZK-proof privacy pools, unlinkable session wallets, and integration with Jupiter for anonymous asset accumulation. Despite technical sophistication and first-mover positioning in private DCA, the raise attracted only $1,455 in 24 hours (0.49% of target), triggering automatic refund under Futardio's all-or-nothing mechanism.
+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
-- **Success Rate:** 0.49%
-- **Duration:** 24 hours (2026-03-03 to 2026-03-04)
-- **Token Economics:** 15.9M total supply, 10M offered at $0.03 (62.9% allocation), $477K FDV
-- **Team Structure:** 2 founders, $10K/month allowance, 3M performance-locked tokens (18.9%)
+- **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 represents one of the most severe fundraise failures on Futardio's platform — raising less than 0.5% of target despite:
-- Clear technical execution (live mainnet beta)
-- Legitimate privacy use case (MEV protection, surveillance resistance)
-- First-mover advantage in privacy DCA category
-- Credible team (repeat builders, Superteam contributors)
-- Reasonable valuation ($477K FDV)
+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 failure suggests either:
-1. Privacy DCA market demand is far smaller than assumed
-2. Futardio's 24-hour window is insufficient for complex infrastructure raises
-3. The $300K target was misaligned with demonstrated traction ($1,455 suggests ~$50K realistic ceiling)
-4. Retail-focused privacy narrative doesn't resonate when institutional clients (the actual market) aren't visible
-
-Notably, Cloak had shipped product, integrated multiple protocols (Privacy.cash, Jupiter, Oro), and achieved technical milestones that typically signal fundability. The disconnect between execution and capital attraction is significant for understanding futarchy-governed fundraising dynamics.
+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-focused DCA (dollar-cost averaging) protocol on Solana that enables traders to accumulate assets anonymously using ZK-proof privacy pools. The protocol routes trades through unlinkable session wallets to break the on-chain connection between user wallets and trading strategies. Cloak raised via Futardio's futarchy-governed ICO mechanism but failed to reach its $300K target, raising only $1,455 before refunding.

 - **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."

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.
