| 1 | +# PrivateDAO: private voting infrastructure for Solana DAOs |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +PrivateDAO is a working Solana devnet governance product built around commit-reveal voting. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Core idea: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- votes are committed privately during the voting window |
| 8 | +- tally stays hidden during commit phase |
| 9 | +- voters reveal later with `(vote, salt)` |
| 10 | +- proposals finalize after the reveal window |
| 11 | +- treasury execution stays behind an explicit timelock |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +What is live today: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- deployed devnet program: |
| 16 | + `62qdrtJGP23PwmvAn5c5B9xT1LSgdnq4p1sQsHnKVFhm` |
| 17 | +- live docs frontend: |
| 18 | + https://x-pact.github.io/PrivateDAO/ |
| 19 | +- repo: |
| 20 | + https://github.com/X-PACT/PrivateDAO |
| 21 | +- open PR with the current hardening and productization work: |
| 22 | + https://github.com/X-PACT/PrivateDAO/pull/6 |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +What makes the project interesting: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +- commit-reveal voting for Solana DAO governance |
| 27 | +- timelocked treasury execution |
| 28 | +- recipient and mint checks for treasury actions |
| 29 | +- proposal-scoped private delegation |
| 30 | +- keeper-assisted reveal path |
| 31 | +- Realms-oriented migration path |
| 32 | +- voter-weight record support for Realms-style integration work |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Why this matters: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Public voting creates whale pressure, vote buying, and treasury signaling problems. PrivateDAO focuses on removing live tally visibility without pretending the rest of governance disappears. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +What has been improved recently on the current branch: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +- stronger lifecycle and treasury validation coverage |
| 41 | +- cleaner devnet-beta product positioning |
| 42 | +- better operator CLI flows |
| 43 | +- live proposal listing tools |
| 44 | +- JSON-RPC based health and contract inspection flows |
| 45 | +- improved docs around Solana RPC requirements and deployment model |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Important note: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +This is presented as a real devnet beta product, not as an audited mainnet governance system. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Happy to hear feedback from builders working on: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +- DAO tooling |
| 54 | +- Realms integrations |
| 55 | +- migration workflows |
| 56 | +- governance safety |
| 57 | +- Solana developer UX |
