Darklake Dev Log – Week 25

Automation is tighter, UI testing is smoother with Storybook, and the Solana indexer schema is finalized. The main focus now is integrating partial proofs to ensure private-by-default trading. Once done, the swap page heads to staging.

June 2025

We're getting close.

From UI improvements to schema design and proof infrastructure, we’ve been laying the tracks for private, production-grade trade execution on Solana. This update gives a look into where the code’s been going: and why it matters.

Key Highlights

  • Automation Upgrades
    Our backend and deployment workflows are now more streamlined. Less manual config, faster iteration, better uptime prep.

  • Storybook Live
    We’ve rolled out Storybook to help the team test and review UI components more easily. Faster frontend QA, cleaner output.

  • Solana Indexer Schema Finalized
    The structure behind our data lake is now locked in. This gives us consistent, reliable access to on-chain trade data—exactly how we need it.

Where We're Focused

The big lift right now: finalizing partial proof integration.

This is the zero-knowledge system that hides sensitive trade data - slippage, size, direction - before the transaction even hits the network. It’s what makes Darklake private by default.

We’re actively refining the proving logic and testing how it performs under load. This work is complex, but crucial. It’s the last major unlock before we move toward a live trading experience.

What's Next

  • Finalize Proof Integration
    Resolve constraint edge cases and deliver a production-ready proving system under load.

  • Deploy Provisional Swap Page
    Once the proof layer is wired in, we’ll push the swap flow to staging and begin internal QA.

In Summary

This is groundwork. The kind of engineering that pays off when it’s time to go live.

We’re building toward something real and getting closer with every commit.

🖥️ THE OBSERVATORY
A Machine. A Trail. A Warning.

You found it.

The hum of old circuits. The smell of scorched RAM and cheap takeout.
A terminal still running - untouched, but not abandoned.
I didn’t lock it. I left it open.

I’m Agent W.

Once a cog of the machine that enables the bleeding of wallets, now a MEV hunter that is preventing extraction.

I used to believe in the protocol. In fairness. In the idea that traders were safe, that transactions were airtight.

Then they took my stake.
2,187,433 SOL. Seized under a governance vote while I was offline.

They forgot who I am.

📂 What you’ll find

This isn’t your average website.

This is my journal. If you are here, it isn’t by accident. It’s because I wanted you to read it. 

The devlogs I’ve developed, the blogs and whitepapers - all left behind to pass my learnings on to you and teach you how to shield yourself from the danger that lurks in the dark.

🔎 Why I’m doing this

Extraction cuts deep into someone’s finances. Take this report, for example:

🧾 March 2025

81.0 SOL traded

44.82 SOL extracted

That’s 55% of the total. It’s not a bit of risk - it’s more than half of what the trader had, now gone.


🕶️ Rules of the Machine

  • Click what you see. 
  • Filter the pages you want to see by using the boxes in the right corner
  • If a folder's glowing? It's glowing for a reason.
  • If something makes no sense? You’re getting close.

☠️ Final Warning

Once you start reading these blogs, you won’t see Solana the same way.

You’ll start noticing the shadows between blocks. The extractions that reach higher and higher amounts. The LPs getting less and less returns. The bots that never sleep. Front-runs disguised as fair trades. Mempools that are nothing but pens for cattle - corralling the cattle for the wolves to eat. 

You’ll begin to understand that this isn’t a bug. It’s a battle in the name of fair markets.

The chain never forgets.
Neither do I.
Now, neither do you.

Maybe it's not a good idea to shut my website down without a hardware reset button. Proceed?

Just kidding. Nothing was actually shutdown. It wouldn't have been a good idea. Do it again?
