The winners of the Cloak Track are here.
95 submissions. Builders from everywhere exploring what happens when privacy stops being a feature and becomes infrastructure.
The hardest part wasn’t finding good projects. It was choosing between them.
When there was a tie, we optimized for range: one winner per use case, to show how broad private payments can actually become.
🏆 1st: TENDR (@tendrdotbid )
Private RFP procurement where bids stay sealed until close, eliminating information leakage and preventing either side from cheating.

Ad monetization for AI agents, where intent is privately detected and matched before the final purchase decision.
🥉 3rd: AEGIS (@aegis_ledger )
A privacy execution layer on top of Squads v4, routing multisig approvals through Cloak’s ZK infrastructure.
4th: TUMAR
A non-custodial family investment vault for the Kazakh diaspora, combining private payments with real-world asset exposure.
5th: TIRAI (@tiraiFrontier )
Private bounty payouts for security researchers, breaking the onchain link between deposits and withdrawals.
Honorable mentions: NORI, @DefundsFinance , @agio_network , @buildcoldstar , @usekixa , and GRAYBOX.
Massive respect to every team that shipped.
And to everyone who didn’t win this time: keep building. Cloak will continue supporting teams pushing privacy forward.
This is what the future of private payments looks like when builders take the problem seriously.
The Cloak track is live at @colosseum Frontier.
We're funding products that only exist because privacy makes them possible.
