Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
  • A Solana-compatible wallet (e.g., Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare).
  • Sufficient SOL for transaction fees (execution fees are deducted from the trade).

​
Step 1: Connect to CLOAK

Navigate to app.cloak.trade and select Connect Wallet in the top-right corner.
Choose your wallet provider and approve the connection request.

​
Step 2: Choose an Execution Mode

CLOAK provides distinct execution modes:
  • Instant: Single-step execution with intent-based privacy.
  • Stealth: Large orders fragmented and executed over a configurable duration.
  • Limit: Execution conditional on a specified price level.
Use Stealth Mode for large order sizes to reduce slippage and front-running risk.

​
Step 3: Execute a Swap

  1. Select the Sell and Buy tokens.
  2. Enter the trade amount.
  3. Optionally adjust Slippage and Priority Fees in settings.
  4. Select Swap.

​
Signing the Intent

Execution is authorized via an intent signature, not a direct transaction signature. This signature authorizes the executor network to perform the trade on your behalf according to the specified parameters.
You are not transferring funds to a contract (except in Stealth Sell flows). You are signing a message that enables atomic execution by the executor.

​
Step 4: Track Your Trade

After signing, the order appears under Orders or History.
  • Status: Queued, Executing, or Settled.
  • Details: Select a trade to view chunk-level execution and timestamps.
