PrivateDAO now has a first-visit route designed for judges, users, and investors who need to understand the product quickly without reading the full architecture.
The Promise
In three minutes, a visitor should understand:
- The problem: public DAO votes, payroll, rewards, and treasury moves expose intent too early.
- The product: a wallet-first Solana Testnet operating layer for governance, confidential payroll, encrypted payments, rewards, intelligence, and proof.
- The action: connect a Testnet wallet, fund it, open web or Android, review a plain-English action, sign, and verify the receipt.
- The innovation: PrivateDAO connects privacy, intelligence, wallet execution, and proof in one usable web and Android product.
Homepage Route
The root page now exposes a direct "3-minute product route" card:
- Minute 1: understand the problem through
/learn - Minute 2: try the product through
/start - Minute 3: verify the evidence through
/judge
This keeps the first screen focused on what the visitor can do now instead of forcing them to infer the product from scattered pages.
Testnet Proof Route
The proof route is still explicit:

Test Alias Fix
npm run test:core:anchor and npm run test:full:anchor now route through scripts/run-local-anchor-suite.sh.
This prevents an accidental Testnet deployment attempt after program upgrade authority moved to Squads. Full Anchor localnet execution remains available by setting PRIVATE_DAO_RUN_ANCHOR_LOCALNET=1 on an AVX2-capable host.
Verification Commands
npm run test:core:anchor
npm run typecheck
npm run web:lint
npm run verify:frontend-surface
npm run web:buildProduct Boundary
The site should lead with product confidence: live Testnet, web + Android, wallet-first execution, encrypted operation lanes, and judge-visible proof. Detailed release gates remain in security, custody, and diagnostic routes rather than the first product impression.
