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.

- Solana Blinks support shipped
- Supported assets: SOL, cbBTC, ZEC

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:
- Market skepticism about privacy product-market fit on Solana
- Insufficient traction/validation in private beta to justify $300K raise
- Team/execution risk concerns given early-stage product
- 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.
