Competition Readiness

Purpose

This document summarizes what PrivateDAO can already prove in a competition setting, what it can support credibly, and what still remains outside the current repository.

It is a readiness note, not a claim that every adjacent system already exists.

Current Readiness Table

| Layer | Status | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | On-chain governance lifecycle | Strong | Commit, reveal, finalize, execute, delegation, veto, cancel, and treasury checks are implemented and evidenced. | | Security reasoning | Strong | Threat model, coverage map, replay analysis, failure modes, and protocol spec are present. | | Reviewer surface | Strong | README, Proof Center, Judge Mode, security page, and reviewer map are aligned. | | Live devnet evidence | Strong | Baseline live proof, dedicated V3 live proof, proof registry, and release manifest are all present and verified. | | Operations documentation | Strong | Monitoring, incident response, cutover, risk register, and audit handoff are present. | | Android review surface | Strong | Android-native app and docs exist as a first-class counterpart. | | Strategy control-plane framing | Strong | Blueprint, adaptor boundary, risk policy, and strategy operations are explicit. | | Strategy engine implementation | Not in repo | The repository defines the control plane, not the live strategy engine. | | Live performance / APY evidence | Not in repo | This remains a paired strategy responsibility. | | External audit | Pending | No external audit is claimed. | | Mainnet rollout | Pending | Cutover discipline is documented, but rollout itself is not claimed. |

Why This Still Scores Well

PrivateDAO is already unusually strong in areas most hackathon and diligence reviewers struggle to verify quickly:

• real protocol behavior
• real proof links
• additive V3 hardening with dedicated Devnet evidence
• explicit failure reasoning
• explicit residual risks
• explicit operations discipline

That makes it stronger than a typical “demo-first” submission even where the paired strategy layer still remains outside the repo.

What This Repository Is Best Positioned To Claim

PrivateDAO can credibly claim that it is:

• a real governance security protocol
• a private approval layer for treasury-sensitive decisions
• a protocol with both baseline and additive V3 hardening paths proven on Devnet
• a serious control plane for a USDC strategy stack
• a review-ready and audit-friendly Solana project

What Should Not Be Overclaimed

This repository should not overclaim:

• live strategy alpha
• realized APY
• completed external audit
• finished mainnet deployment

Reviewer Shortcut

The shortest honest closeout command is:

npm run verify:all

And the shortest evidence pack is:

• [submission-dossier.md](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/submission-dossier.md)
• [submission-registry.json](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/submission-registry.json)
• [test-wallet-live-proof-v3.generated.md](/home/x-pact/PrivateDAO/docs/test-wallet-live-proof-v3.generated.md)
