DarkFi is a not just a privacy oriented crypto project, but is building a wider range anonymous ecosystem such as payments, swaps, DEX, NFTs as well as a communication (darkirc) and task management tool (tau). DarkFi, thus far, has been also the only project developing an anonymous DAO primitive.
The lunarpunk narrative finds much of its origin from DarkFi. Since then, it has been widely adopted and practiced by other people and projects. DAOs, with the power of crypto, have the ability to execute community funding projects and governance anonymously. The purchase of a DarkFi NFT for anon research & development makes it possible for anyone to contribute to DarkFi development anonymously, and at the same time, directing funds to anon contributors. We breathe life into a new LunarDAO, which by using Firn is taking essential steps toward a complete anon DAO.
LunarDAO II
The latest LunarDAO Improvement Proposal LIP-0005 suggests the LunarDAO squad supports DarkFi R&D.
Around the time of the next new moon, LunarDAO ventures further along towards a Lunarpunk Future. The DAO will initiate a raise for DarkFi to support its anon developers. A new anonymous DAO, LunarDAO II, will be summoned. This new squad will collectively own a 1:1 DarfkFi NFT.
There have been different opinions on whether the initial DAO should participate in the the raise or not, and we decided to create a new one - LunarDAO II. Everyone can join, regardless of being a member of LunarDAO previously or not.
All donors will receive governance tokens proportionate to their share of the Darkfi NFT, representing voting rights in LunarDAO II.
If you are a member of the initial LunarDAO and you want to participate in LunarDAO II, please rage-quit, keep your FIRN and use your ETH according to the guide.
How do you participate? A guide to join the DarkFi raise
- Bridge your ETH to Arbitrum.
- Deposit funds to Firn to anonymize your assets on the Arbitrum chain. To maximise anonymity it's recommended that you deposit a greater amount to Firn than you plan to use for the raise. It's also recommended that you make this deposit as early as possible to mitigate value & time correlation risks.
- Create a new Ethereum account other than the original Ethereum address used to deposit into Firn this will be your LunarDAO II governance account.
- Go to donate.firn.io and connect to your Firn account (available when the raise opens).
- From selection choose LunarDAO II (It will be visible when the raise starts).
- Buy a share of DarkFi NFT & provide your new ETH address. Chose a price divisible by 0.1 ETH and paste your new ETH account, created in point 3.
- As the raise period ends, the NFT transfer takes place and the LunarDAO II tokens will be minted to the address you provided The token ownership will grant you a proportion of governance over the NFT in LunarDAO II.
To achieve best anonymity please read and follow the !
Raise in Numbers
Just like the initial round of LunarDAO, part two will have permissionless entry with the same Moloch v3 governance model, using a second iteration of our squad token VOX2.
All ETH raised from this round will go to DarkFi team, read more about the numbers:
- Governance token: VOX2
- VOX2 <> ETH ratio: 1 ETH = 10 VOX2
- Maximum cap: 2 weeks or 161 ETH (according to LIP-0005 the cap is $500k, 161 ETH is representation)
- Minimum cap: None
- ETH sent to DarkFi: 100% of raised ETH
- LD Stewards & devs (Firn & DAOhaus) VOX2 allocation: None per smart contract, there will be a proposal after the raise.
Detailed steps to follow
1. Bridging to Arbitrum
Bridge assets from Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum via bridge.arbitrum.io (Note: there is a scam page that has the same header, but an incorrect url. Make sure to verify the links. That includes links provided by this wiki). This is a guide on how to use Arbitrum bridge.
2. Firn usage
After bridging assets to Arbitrum, it's time to deposit funds to Firn. In order to maximize anonymity deposit multiples of 0.1 ETH, such as 0.1, 0.5, 1 ETH and so on. To maximise anonymity it's recommended that you deposit a greater amount to Firn than you plan to use for the NFT investment. Make sure to deposit as early as possible to mitigate value & time correlation risks. Here is a guide on how to use Firn.
Deposited funds on Firn.io may be withdrawn at any time - depositing into Firn itself does *not* bond a user to participiate in this raise.
3. Setting up Metamask wallet
Follow this guide for how to set up a new Metamask wallet.
The best option is to use Tor browser to set up a Metamask wallet as Tor browser also protects user IP address. To set up more than one wallet, the add-on needs to be removed after the first wallet setup is complete then click on the 'cleaning brush' icon in the upper right corner to change identity.
A - If using another browser ensure that you are using a VPN to protect your IP address and not doxx yourself. Here are some examples of VPNs: Lokinet, Geph) or ProtonVPN. ProtonVPN should be used with 'secure core' or 'tor' when connecting to the VPN, to enable two hops (which is only available on the paid version).
B - Brume Wallet" is another option for an Ethereum wallet with built-in Tor by default.
For more information on how to anonymize assets on Ethereum, read this guide.
4. Buy a share of DarkFi NFT
During a designated time period, anyone can purchase a share of DarkFi NFT via the donate.firn.io custom donation page.
