Steve Jobs observed that every great entrepreneur stands on the shoulders of the giants who came before them. Cryptonite’s value comes from the industry insiders and experts who step up and mentor and teach our entrepreneurially minded members seeking to learn and connect. This structure gives Cryptonite a purpose — une raison d’être.
Cryptonite — The Pioneering Web3 Professional Network for Innovators
First-generation social networks have devolved into chaos—aimless, entropic, and stripped of their original value. Big Teach treats us as their products, selling our personal data like commodities on attention exchanges, while using ad tracking and dopamine tactics to waste time our time and diminish our psyches and well-being.
Cryptonite is leading the Web3 professional social wave — replacing Web2 chaos with a privacy-first, ownership-driven network for global Silicon Valley innovators. In 2026, we empower the ambitious to cut through infobesity, connect meaningfully, earn real crypto rewards from contributions, and stay relevant — all on Solana.

Founders & Equity Partners Pool (3,000,000,000 CPRO, 14.3%): This pool vests over 48 months with weekly linear releases starting at TGE, unlocking progressively for use in the app and external transfers/exchanges only after each vesting milestone. Tokens are locked in member wallets until released, with the full allocation becoming usable post-vesting. Restrictions emphasize long-term alignment and prevent early dumps; flexibility is low once the vesting smart contract deploys at TGE, though minor adjustments for specific equity partners could occur via multi-sig or governance if designed in.
Advisors & Strategic Partners Pool (1,000,000,000 CPRO, 4.8%): This shorter 24-month weekly linear vesting schedule begins at TGE, with tokens unlocking incrementally for app use and eventual external transfers. Full unlock occurs after the full period, aligning incentives without immediate liquidity. Restrictions focus on commitment during the advisory phase; flexibility is minimal post-deployment but could include performance-based early unlocks via governance if pre-coded.
CPRO Growth Fund Pool (8,000,000,000 CPRO, 38.1%): The largest allocation vests over 10 years weekly linear from TGE, providing very gradual releases for ecosystem growth initiatives. Tokens remain in controlled wallets until vested portions unlock for app use or transfers. Restrictions are strict to ensure decade-long commitment; flexibility is low on the core schedule once set at TGE, but usage guidelines for fund deployment could be adjusted via governance.
Treasury/Member Rewards Program Pool (4,750,000,000 CPRO, 22.6%): This 10-year weekly linear vesting from TGE supports ongoing community rewards and treasury operations, with gradual unlocks for distribution. Tokens stay restricted until released. Restrictions enforce long-term sustainability; flexibility exists in reward distribution mechanics (criteria, timing within vested amounts) that can be governed post-launch, while the vesting schedule itself should be locked early.
Marketing & Distribution Partners Pool (1,330,000,000 CPRO, 6.3%): Vesting details are unspecified (?) and require finalization. Once set, tokens will likely follow a multi-year linear schedule from TGE with unlocks for marketing campaigns and partnerships. Restrictions will depend on the chosen schedule (e.g., cliffs or cliffs periods); high flexibility is recommended here to adapt partner deals, with rules potentially adjustable via governance rather than rigid pre-TGE contracts.
CPRO/SOL Liquidity Pool (420,000,000 CPRO, 2.0%): This allocation provides initial liquidity at TGE on Raydium alongside pre-sale proceeds, with LP tokens burned to make the pool permissionless and community-driven. Tokens are fully unlocked and liquid at Public Offering/TGE for DEX trading. Restrictions prevent team control post-burn; significant flexibility is needed for future liquidity additions, pair expansions, or management strategies, which do not require pre-finalization and can evolve post-launch.
Pre-sale @ $0.01 Pool (10,000,000 CPRO): Ongoing through V.05 launch at $0.01, this small allocation is fully unlocked and liquid at Public Offering. Tokens become tradable post-TGE with funds supporting early development. Restrictions are minimal beyond standard KYC/vesting release; most parameters are already operational, allowing limited post-launch adjustments to remaining allocation handling.
Pre-sale @ $0.02 Pool (60,000,000 CPRO, 0.3%): Running from V.05 launch through V1 launch date at $0.02 per token, tokens are fully unlocked and liquid at Public Offering for immediate use/trading post-TGE. Funds contribute to liquidity and operations. This pool’s smart contract, pricing, allocation caps, buyer rules, timelines, and fund/token distribution mechanics must be finalized and deployed before V.05 launch to enable the sale. Flexibility is recommended for handling any unsold tokens or structuring similar future pre-sales without locking rigid rules now.
Pre-sale @ $0.025 Pool (400,000,000 CPRO, 1.9%): Available from V1 launch through TGE at $0.025, with full unlock and liquidity at Public Offering. This tier bridges to public launch. Restrictions mirror other pre-sales (no early external transfer before unlock). Smart contracts and parameters can be finalized later (before V1 or its start), providing flexibility for adjustments based on earlier sale performance.
Public Sale @ $0.03 Pool (2,030,000,000 CPRO, 9.7%): Estimated for June–October 2026 at $0.03, this largest sale tier offers full unlock and liquidity at Public Offering/TGE. It drives major capital raise. Restrictions are standard (no pre-unlock transfers). Smart contracts, pricing mechanics, launch timing, and distribution rules can be finalized later (closer to 2026), allowing flexibility to adapt to market conditions, prior pre-sale results, and project progress.
Method & Order of Sign-up and Login options
1. Email + Magic Link / One-Time Code (Highest estimated conversion: ~40–60% share in similar flows)
Universal, zero-account friction, familiar Substack-style UX. Tops most onboarding studies for new users; embedded wallet auto-creation feels seamless. Minimal privacy red flags.Passkeys (Very high: rising to 30–50%+ preference/adoption in tech)
93% success rate (vs ~63% for passwords/social). 69% of users have ≥1 passkey (up sharply); 40% in password managers (doubled YoY); 85–87% enterprise/workforce deployment. Biometric/seamless, device-bound (phishing-resistant) — perfect for security-conscious SV engineers. Promote for repeat users.Apple (”Sign in with Apple”) (Strong: 8–20%+ of social, higher preference in tech/privacy)
Privacy leader (hides email by default). Strong in iOS/macOS-heavy SV crowd. Preferred over Google in privacy-conscious/tech segments; builds trust instantly.X (Twitter) (”Continue with X”) (Niche: 5–15%)
Relevant for crypto/Solana community (alpha, DAOs, networking), but not broad enough for most professionals.Phone/SMS OTP (Solid secondary: 10–25%)
Reliable global backup (esp. international pros or email-delivery issues). High deliverability/trust in many regions; low friction as fallback.External Wallet Connect (Solana) (Niche/power-user: 10–30% for crypto natives)
High for existing Phantom/Solflare users but higher drop-off for newcomers (wallet extension friction, seed fears). Great retention tool, but not primary signup driver in web3 data — embedded + social/email outperform pure connect for initial conversion.Privy Home (their cross-app
hub) exists for managing linked wallets across dApps, but it is not used for initial signup to Cryptonite.
The CPRO wallet (a Privy-embedded wallet) is automatically created for you during signup—it is not something you bring from outside the app like a standalone wallet app.
How Signup Actually Works (Hybrid Onboarding)
1 Primary path (recommended for most users, especially newcomers):
◦ Sign up/login with social (Google, Apple, X/Twitter, Discord), email, SMS one-time code, or passkey/biometrics.
◦ After OAuth or verification (rate-limited codes + anti-Sybil checks like identity linkage), Privy auto-provisions a self-custodial embedded wallet branded for Cryptonite/CPRO (Solana-native SPL address).
◦ You get instant access to virtual CPRO balances, profile setup, etc., in a Web2-style flow with no seed phrases or extensions required.31
2 Crypto-native/power-user path:
◦ You can connect an existing external Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom, Solflare, MetaMask) during or after signup.
◦ This requires the same identity verification gate.
◦ Privy links the external wallet to your Cryptonite ID/account. You can designate it as primary (for rewards/migration), but the app still provisions or associates an embedded wallet for seamless in-app use.
◦ This supports multi-wallet management (link multiple, one primary).31
Key Points on “Privy Wallet”
• The embedded wallet is app-specific, self-custodial (keys sharded in device TEEs/passkeys; you control recovery), and generated on signup. There is no public “Privy wallet” browser extension or mobile app you download and use to sign into Cryptonite beforehand.
• Privy Home (their cross-app hub) exists for managing linked wallets across dApps, but it is not used for initial signup to Cryptonite.
• Post-signup/login, you interact with your embedded (or linked external) wallet seamlessly via Privy UI for balances, tips, subscriptions, messaging (XMTP via pubkey), etc.
• Pre-TGE: All CPRO activity is virtual/off-chain (simulated in DB + Privy display). No real transfers possible.
• At TGE: 1:1 migration snapshot to the primary wallet address (embedded or the connected external one you chose).
This hybrid approach matches your earlier decision—social/email/embedded drives high conversion for newcomers, while external connect is a strong retention tool for the 10–30% crypto natives (with the noted drop-off risks for first-timers).
If you’re already signed up, you can go to account/wallet settings to link additional external wallets via Privy. For the exact current UI flow (likely beta/closed), check the app directly or their latest announcements. If this is for testing or you hit any friction, Privy’s progressive auth makes recovery straightforward via the original signup method. Let me know if you need help clarifying recovery, multi-wallet switching, or anything else!
The CPRO wallet (powered by Privy as an embedded wallet) serves as the automatic, default self-custodial wallet that every user receives the moment they complete signup/login in the Cryptonite app.
Here’s a clear, concise way to describe its role:
“The CPRO wallet is your personal, app-integrated Solana wallet automatically created for you during signup. Powered by Privy, it’s a secure, self-custodial embedded wallet (branded as CPRO) that gives you instant access to in-app features like virtual balances, profiles, tips, subscriptions, and messaging—without needing seed phrases, browser extensions, or any external setup. It uses your signup method (social, email, SMS, passkey, etc.) for recovery and control, with private keys safely managed via device security (e.g., TEEs/passkeys). Pre-token generation event (TGE), it handles all simulated/off-chain CPRO activity. At TGE, your real CPRO tokens migrate 1:1 to this wallet (or your designated primary linked external wallet if you’ve connected one like Phantom).”
User-facing explainer (simple/onboarding copy):
“Your CPRO wallet is auto-created when you sign up—it’s your secure Solana address in the app for earning, spending, and managing CPRO, no extra downloads needed.”For crypto-native audience (highlighting self-custody):
“Every new user gets a Privy-embedded CPRO wallet provisioned automatically on signup: fully self-custodial, Solana-native, recoverable via your login method, and ready for seamless in-app use (with optional external wallet linking for power users).”One-sentence summary:
“The CPRO wallet is the Privy-powered, automatically provisioned self-custodial embedded wallet assigned to every user at signup, enabling frictionless access to Cryptonite’s features while remaining under your control.”
No, the advisor’s specific inference isn’t accurate—allowing External Wallet Connect (e.g., Phantom or Solflare via Privy) does not enable users to transfer CPRO or other assets out of the app to their external wallet before the public sale/TGE.3031
Here’s the breakdown based on Cryptonite’s documented architecture (Web3 social network on Solana with CPRO utility token, Privy-embedded wallets, hybrid onboarding, pre-TGE virtual balances, and post-TGE on-chain migration):
Pre-TGE (Current/Until Public Launch ~Q3-Q4 2026)
CPRO is virtual/off-chain only: Earned rewards (e.g., 84 base + bonuses for profile/links/word cloud/vouching; 300+ for paid subs + NFT), pre-sale allocations, etc., are simulated in the app’s database (with Privy UI for display/balances). No real SPL tokens exist yet—no on-chain transfers, withdrawals, or DEX trading are possible.31
Balances are tied to user profiles/accounts, not directly spendable/transferred. Anti-Sybil measures (staking virtual CPRO, tasks, slashing for fakes) and capped incentives keep everything internal.
External wallet connect changes nothing here: Connecting Phantom/Solflare (supported via Privy with identity verification) associates the wallet address with your account for future use (e.g., as primary for rewards). It does not move virtual balances on-chain or enable pre-TGE withdrawals/transfers. The app still controls the simulation; you can’t “export” or send virtual CPRO anywhere.31
No jeopardy to “lock-in”: Assets stay in-app by design (off-chain). This applies equally to embedded Privy wallets and connected external ones. Fiat on-ramps (Stripe → virtual credit) also stay internal.
At/Post-TGE (Public Sale/Launch)
1:1 migration via Merkle-proofed snapshot: Virtual balances convert to real Solana SPL CPRO tokens, distributed/claimable to the user’s primary wallet address (Privy-embedded or the connected external one).31
Self-custodial by design: Private keys stay with the user (in device TEEs/passkeys for Privy; full control in Phantom/etc.). Once tokens are in the wallet, on-chain transfers are possible regardless of sign-in method—this is inherent to non-custodial web3, not unique to external connect.
Transfers become possible, but:
The app can (and should) enforce any intended lock-up/vesting via on-chain mechanisms (e.g., token program vesting schedules, timelocks, or claim contracts during migration). These apply to all recipient addresses uniformly—embedded or external.
Post-migration listings (DEX/CEX) would enable selling anyway; vesting prevents immediate dumps if that’s the goal (common for incentives/pre-sale portions).
No evidence of planned vesting for general user-earned rewards (vs. team/investor allocations), but it’s a standard lever to retain value/engagement.
Why the Concern Might Arise (and Why It’s Manageable)
External connect implies “bring your own wallet” UX: Crypto-native users expect full control, so they might anticipate (or attempt) immediate post-TGE liquidity/withdrawals to Phantom. This could feel like less “app lock-in” vs. pure embedded (where Privy recovery/session management gives slight app leverage, though still self-custodial).
Retention angle: Pure wallet connect has higher newcomer drop-off (extension install, seed phrase fears, as you noted). Embedded + social/email drive better initial conversion/onboarding. External is strong for retention/power-users (10–30% crypto natives) who already hold SOL/tokens and prefer their setup.
No “jeopardizing login”: Sign-in/auth (Privy handles both embedded and connect flows) remains separate from balance control. Multi-wallet support (one primary) adds flexibility without breaking core flows.
Risks to mitigate:
Implement explicit withdraw/transfer UI controls (disabled pre-TGE; gated post-TGE with vesting/KYC for large external transfers).
Use vesting contracts for earned rewards if long-term holding/engagement is key.
Clarify in UX/docs: Pre-TGE balances are in-app only; post-TGE is real, user-controlled crypto.
Monitor for abuse (e.g., connect-then-dump post-migration).
This hybrid approach (embedded primary + external as optional/power-user path) matches your earlier decision and the tech overview—it’s intentional for broad accessibility while supporting natives.31 If the advisor has a different assumption (e.g., confusing virtual balances with real tokens or expecting custodial control), sharing these details (virtual pre-TGE, self-custodial post, on-chain levers) should address it. For tokenomics/vesting specifics beyond what’s public, check the full roadmap or tp@cryptoniteventures.com.
If you share more details on planned withdraw/vesting flows or the exact advisor quote/context, I can refine this further.
CPRO/SOL/USDC Liquidity Pool Strategy
Cryptonite PRO (CPRO) launches with a highly conservative 2% liquidity allocation (420 million tokens, valued at $12.6 million at the $0.03 launch price), deliberately avoiding the large emissions and heavy farming incentives common in hype-driven DeFi projects.
This approach mirrors successful restrained models like Pyth Network, prioritizing genuine member growth and network effects over artificial liquidity bootstrapping.
Liquidity is seeded modestly across a primary CPRO/SOL pool (50–60% of LP) for solid trading depth on Raydium and a secondary CPRO/USDC pool (40–50%) for added stability, funded from public sale proceeds.
All LP tokens are permanently burned upon pool creation, removing any risk of rug-pull or team withdrawal and building immediate trust with early buyers and members.
Post-launch, liquidity only grows organically from protocol fees, subscription inflows, and real utility demand—no new token emissions—ensuring rewards feel truly earned and sustainable.
By design, this structure creates natural buy-and-hold pressure as members use and pay in CPRO for perks, tiers, and community benefits, positioning the token as a long-term, utility-driven membership asset rather than a short-term speculative play.

Yes — the core architecture plan remains the right foundation for Cryptonite. It delivers true user sovereignty (zero company access to plaintext data), aligns with Vitalik’s decentralized social vision, supports your privacy-first branding, and enables the practical features in your pre-sale doc (e.g., portable profiles, E2EE messaging, verifiable rewards).
Below is a phased feature roadmap specifically prioritizing v0.5 (early 2026 launch), structured so your dev team can see:
How each piece fits into the overall Cryptonite app (frontend UX, backend services, user flows).
Dependencies on 3rd-party technologies (with current 2026 status).
Clear milestones, trade-offs, and sequencing.
Overall Architecture Context
Cryptonite is a React Native / Next.js frontend app (mobile + web) that acts as a facilitator/indexer/client — never holding or seeing user data after client-side encryption. All sensitive operations (encryption, decryption, signing) happen on the user’s device. The backend is minimal: Solana smart programs for registries/attestations/rewards, plus indexing APIs for discovery (no plaintext storage).
Key 3rd-party pillars:
Privy — Embedded Solana wallets + onboarding (email/Google/Apple/X/Passkey).
XMTP — E2EE messaging (wallet-key based).
IPFS + pinning — Decentralized encrypted storage (primary).
Solana — Token ($CPRO), lightweight registry program, attestations, staking.
Ceramic — Encrypted social graph streams (phased in v1).
Libs — libsodium.js / TweetNaCl for encryption, ZK libs for proofs.
Phased Roadmap: Prioritized for v0.5
Phase 0: Pre-v0.5 Foundations (Now – Q4 2025 / early prep)
Privy integration — Enable email (magic link/OTP like Substack), Google, Apple, X, Passkey sign-in. Auto-create embedded Solana wallet on first login. Support export to Phantom/Solflare later.
Status: Privy Solana support mature since 2024–2025; gas sponsorship available.
Frontend skeleton — React Native/Next.js app with wallet connect, basic profile UI, settings for export/delete.
Solana program basics — Deploy simple registry program (wallet → encrypted CID hashes, public metadata only). Include CPRO token contract if not already live.
Encryption primitives — Integrate libsodium.js / TweetNaCl client-side for hybrid encryption (asymmetric for keys, symmetric for content).
Milestone: Internal test users can sign in via email/Substack-style, get a wallet, and see empty profile.
Phase 1: v0.5 MVP Launch (Early 2026 – Core Zero-Access Features)
Goal: Ship a functional app with credible “military-grade privacy” and “zero exploitation” claims. Focus on profiles, messaging, basic content, and rewards — all client-side encrypted.
Onboarding & Wallet (Week 1–2)
Privy login flows (email primary).
Auto-wallet creation + display address/balance.
UX: Welcome screen, “Your data is encrypted on your device — only you control it.”
Profiles & Content Creation (Week 3–6)
Generate/edit profiles, bios/CVs (local on-device AI + consented Grok/Perplexity API calls).
Client-side encryption: Encrypt with user’s public key (self-access) + optional recipient keys.
Store: Encrypted blob → IPFS via pinning service (recommend Filebase or web3.storage for Solana wallet auth & reliability).
Record CID + hash on Solana registry (public pointer only).
Decrypt locally on load; cache decrypted views temporarily.
Messaging (Cryptonite Rapper system) (Week 4–8)
Integrate XMTP SDK (current version — stable pre-mainnet).
E2EE chats: Wallet-derived keys; messages encrypted client-side.
Send/receive + tip $CPRO in-chat (signed tx).
UX: Secure chat UI, tip button.
Export / Delete / Access Controls (Week 6–8)
“Export My Data” → Download decrypted JSON/PDF (profiles, connections, chats).
“Delete My Data” → Revoke shared keys + unpin from IPFS (user-controlled via wallet-signed request).
Local cache clear option.
Basic Rewards & CPRO Utility (Week 7–10)
Daily bonuses tied to verifiable on-chain actions (e.g., signed attestations for contributions, XMTP receipts).
In-app wallet shows balance; spend on tips/subscriptions (Wizard access stubs).
Solana program for verifiable distributions (public signals only).
Discovery & Matchmaking Basics (Week 8–12)
Simple public index of ZK-proven attributes (e.g., “has profile”, skill tags via on-chain attestations).
On-device/local AI for personal search.
Matchmaking via explicit consent (share decryption key via XMTP).
v0.5 Dependencies & 3rd-Parties:
Privy (onboarding/wallets) — live.
XMTP (messaging) — use current SDK (mainnet March 2026 migration planned post-launch).
IPFS pinning — Filebase / web3.storage / Pinata (low-cost, wallet auth).
Solana RPC — Helius / QuickNode (fast tx/indexing).
No Ceramic yet — use direct IPFS for graph edges (encrypted + CID registry).
v0.5 Trade-offs:
Social graph limited to basic encrypted edges (no full Ceramic streams yet).
Discovery basic (ZK light, no advanced blinded indexes).
XMTP pre-full decentralization (relays exist but encrypted).
Moderation via community reports + reputation scores (ZK-attested).
Milestone: Public v0.5 beta — users onboard, create encrypted profiles, message, tip $CPRO, export/delete data. Audit encryption flows for credibility.
Phase 2: v1.0 Polish & Full Decentralization (Q1 2026)
Ceramic integration — Encrypted streams for portable social graph (connections, posts, attestations). Enables Lens/Farcaster export.
Advanced ZK matchmaking — Blinded indexes + ZK-SNARKs for private signals.
XMTP mainnet — Migrate post-March 2026 for full node decentralization.
Optional Arweave — For permanent items (e.g., verified CV snapshots).
Social recovery — MPC/multisig guardians to prevent key loss.
Interoperability — DID documents + CID exports for cross-protocol portability.
EliXr & Daily Rap — Community blog + curated content with $CPRO rewards for top posts/comments.
Milestone: Full sovereign, interoperable network — profiles/graph portable, advanced privacy features, sustainable rewards.
This sequencing lets v0.5 ship fast with strong privacy claims (leveraging mature Privy/XMTP/IPFS), while v1 builds the complete Web3 vision (Ceramic, ZK, full decentralization) when ecosystem pieces mature.
