Straight answers.

What CLOAK does, what it does not, and where its limits are. If an answer here ever disagrees with the product, the product is wrong and we want to know.

01

Privacy & safety

No. Solana is a public ledger and nothing can remove a transaction from it. CLOAK is an analysis and education tool: it shows you what is already visible about an address and explains practices that reduce how easily activity can be linked in the future. It does not hide history, mix funds or make transactions anonymous.

Never. CLOAK only needs a public address. If you connect a wallet, the connection shares your public key and nothing else — no signatures, no transaction approvals, no spending permissions. If anything claiming to be CLOAK asks for a seed phrase, it is not us.

No. CLOAK has no custody of anything and cannot initiate transactions. It is read-only by design.

Scans read public data through our data provider on the server. Nothing is written to the blockchain, and the analyzed address is not notified. Your analysis history is stored only in your own browser.

02

Wallets

Any Solana address can be analyzed by pasting it. To connect instead, CLOAK supports Phantom, Solflare and other wallets that implement the Wallet Standard. Connecting is only a convenience for filling in your public address.

Yes — the data is public, and checking a wallet before you interact with it is a legitimate use. CLOAK reports observable activity only; it never asserts who owns an address.

03

Data coverage

From public Solana data served by Helius: parsed transaction history, current balances and, on supported plans, publicly available identity labels. CLOAK does not buy or use private data sets.

Not always. Each scan reads a bounded window of the most recent transactions (300 by default, never more than 500). The report states exactly how many transactions and days were analyzed and whether the window was capped.

Native transfers below 0.00001 SOL are treated as dust. They are overwhelmingly address-poisoning spam and would otherwise invent relationships the wallet owner never chose.

04

Accuracy & the CLOAK Index

How many exposure indicators were observed in the analyzed activity, on a 0–100 scale. Higher means more exposure. It is a weighted mean of seven explainable components and every point can be traced to its basis in the report.

An index is only shown when there are enough successful, timestamped transactions and enough of the indicator weight can be evaluated. A new or rarely used wallet does not produce a meaningful number, so CLOAK says so instead of guessing.

No. The index reflects only the analyzed window and the indicators CLOAK measures. It is not a privacy certification, not a security rating and not a statement about who owns a wallet.

CLOAK does not attribute identity. It may show a public label that a data provider already associates with an address — for example a known exchange — and always names the source. It never guesses names or locations.

05

Cost & token

Scanning a public wallet in CLOAK Terminal is free today. Paid tiers for advanced analysis are in development, and basic analysis will stay free.

$CLOAK has not launched yet. No contract address has been published by the team; until one appears on this site, treat any token claiming to be $CLOAK with caution.

No. The plan is for basic analysis to stay free, with no token required to check your own wallet.

No. Nothing on this site is financial advice or an offer, and there are no promises about the value of any token.
