# Cloak
Cloak is a privacy infrastructure protocol on Solana enabling private DCA (dollar-cost averaging) execution through ZK-proof privacy pools and session wallet architecture. The protocol routes trades through Privacy.cash pools to break on-chain links between user wallets and trading strategies, targeting retail and institutional traders who face MEV extraction and surveillance costs from transparent on-chain execution.
Cloak is a privacy DCA (dollar-cost averaging) protocol on Solana that enables users to accumulate assets anonymously 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.
Built during the Solana Cypherpunk Hackathon by co-founders Vaibhav (CoinDCX engineer, PermaSign co-founder) and Prasad (Stealth founding engineer, PermaSign co-founder). The protocol integrates Privacy.cash ZK-proof pools with Jupiter for execution, supporting private DCA into SOL, cbBTC, and ZEC. First RWA integration with Oro (tokenized gold) positioned Cloak as the private distribution layer for real-world assets on Solana.
## Timeline
- **2026-03-03** — Futardio fundraise launched with $300K target for 24-month runway (2-person team: Vaibhav + Prasad)
- **2026-03-03** — Live in private beta on Solana mainnet with DCA support for SOL, cbBTC, ZEC; Solana Blinks integration shipped
- **2026-03-03** — First RWA integration announced: Oro (tokenized gold) private DCA
- **2026-03-04** — Fundraise closed in refunding status after raising only $1,455 of $300K target
- **2026-03-03** — Futardio fundraise launched targeting $300K with 24-hour window. ICO offered 10M tokens at $0.03 ($477K FDV). Team allocation: 3M tokens performance-locked at 2x/4x/8x/16x/32x price multiples with 18-month cliff. Product live in private beta on mainnet with Solana Blinks support.
- **2026-03-04** — Fundraise closed with $1,455 committed (0.49% of target). Status: refunding. All funds returned to participants.
## Relationship to KB
- [[futardio]] — launch platform
- [[MetaDAO]] — futarchy governance infrastructure
- [[Privacy.cash]] — ZK-proof privacy pool integration
- [[Jupiter]] — DEX execution layer
- Product addresses MEV extraction problem documented in [[MEV extraction cost estimates]]
## Notes
Raise failed to reach minimum threshold despite novel privacy-DCA product positioning and working mainnet beta. Team proposed performance-based token unlocks (5 tranches at 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x ICO price with 18-month cliff). Fundraise structure followed futarchy-governed unruggable ICO model with automatic refund on target miss.

- [[internet-capital-markets-compress-fundraising-timelines]] — 24-hour raise window demonstrates speed but not necessarily success

## 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 event for privacy-DCA protocol. Fundraise failed (<1% of target). Entity created to track the launch outcome. No novel claims extracted privacy-DCA value proposition and MEV costs are documented elsewhere. Team credentials and technical architecture are factual but not arguable propositions. Performance-based vesting structure is interesting but not generalizable from single failed case."
extraction_notes: "Cloak fundraise is a significant data point as the first major utility-focused project failure on Futardio. Previous successful raises (CULT, MYCO) were either meme coins or physical infrastructure with clear tangible outputs. This suggests futarchy-governed launches may select for speculative/tangible projects over pure software utility. No novel claims extracted — the failure itself is the data point. Entity created to track this as a counter-example to the 'futarchy-governed-meme-coins-attract-speculative-capital-at-scale' pattern."
