# 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
