Goal
This is the first weekly update video for the Solana Frontier Hackathon.
It should be:
- under 60 seconds
- direct
- product-first
- honest about what is already live on Devnet
- strong enough for judges to understand momentum immediately
This is **not** the full technical demo and **not** the final pitch video.
Recommended Upload Title
`Week 1 - PrivateDAO Frontier Hackathon - Live Devnet Governance Progress`
Recommended Video Description
`PrivateDAO is building governance infrastructure on Solana for private voting, safer treasury execution, and confidential operational flows. This week we are showing the live Devnet product foundation: wallet-connected flow, DAO creation, proposal creation, commit-reveal voting, execution-safe treasury path, proof surfaces, and the product shell that will keep expanding through the hackathon.`

60-Second Spoken Script
PrivateDAO is building governance infrastructure on Solana, not just a simple DAO interface.
This week, the live Devnet product already supports the core governance path end to end: connect wallet, create a DAO, create a proposal, commit a vote privately, reveal it later, and execute through a safer treasury flow.
The core idea is simple: governance should not leak intent too early.
So PrivateDAO uses a commit-reveal model to reduce public vote leakage while keeping execution reviewable and disciplined.
Around that core flow, we now also have proof, diagnostics, search, assistant, and commercial product surfaces inside one live app.
That means this is already shaping into a real governance infrastructure product, not a hackathon mockup.
Next week, we will keep sharpening the buyer flow, trust surfaces, and track-specific product packaging on top of the same live Devnet foundation.

Recording Direction
- Use the live app, not slides
- Keep cursor movement minimal
- Avoid long text blocks on screen
- Do not try to explain every subsystem
- Focus on momentum and product clarity
Honesty Boundary
Safe claims:
- live Devnet app
- wallet-connected governance flow
- commit-reveal lifecycle
- proof and diagnostics surfaces
- product shell already in place
Do not claim in this video:
- unrestricted mainnet production launch
- external audit completion unless separately documented
- customer adoption that is not already public and verified
Best Use Of Current Demo Video
Do **not** upload the current long-form demo as the week 1 update unchanged.
Use this weekly update instead for:
- momentum
- clarity
- product progress
Keep the longer demo for:
- technical demo support
- final submission support
- deeper reviewer follow-up
