Cloak: Futardio Fundraise
Summary
Cloak launched a $300K fundraise on Futardio to build private DCA infrastructure on Solana using ZK-proof privacy pools. The 24-hour raise window closed with only $1,455 committed (0.49% of target), triggering automatic refunds per Futardio's all-or-nothing mechanism. This represents one of the lowest commitment rates for a Futardio launch with a substantive product in private beta.
Market Data
- Outcome: Failed (refunded)
- Raise Target: $300,000
- Total Committed: $1,455 (0.49%)
- Token: 8RS
- ICO Price: $0.03 per token
- Proposed FDV: $477,000
- Raise Window: 24 hours (2026-03-03 to 2026-03-04)
Significance
This fundraise demonstrates the challenge of privacy-focused infrastructure projects attracting capital in permissionless launch environments. Despite having a working product in private beta, integration with established protocols (Privacy.cash, Jupiter), and a detailed technical roadmap, Cloak failed to generate market interest. The 0.49% commitment rate suggests either:
- Privacy DCA is not a compelling value proposition for Solana users
- The $300K target was misaligned with demonstrated traction
- 24-hour launch windows are insufficient for infrastructure projects to build conviction
The team's performance-locked token structure (3M tokens unlocking only at 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x price multiples with 18-month cliff) represented strong alignment but was insufficient to overcome market skepticism.
