Development Code Freeze. 77 Tests. Mainnet Ready. +

Code freeze declared: 77 tests (Hook 31 + Vault 37 + Controls 9), 0 failures. No more contract changes.
4-round Trail of Bits security audit: 0 Critical, 0 High. Readiness score 89/100.
F-2 setLPRange guard added — prevents range change while LP deployed.
TWAP check on deposit/withdraw — blocks sandwich attacks (±5% threshold).
Volume spike trigger — emergency LP removal bypasses cooldown on abnormal volume.
Withdrawal fee removed for ERC-4626 compliance and simplicity.
Arbitrum mainnet wallet setup: Deployer, Operator, Treasury Safe (Gnosis 2/3), Sentinel.

Strategy B2B Pivot. DAO Treasury GTM. +

B2B pivot: DAO treasuries (primary) over retail LPs (secondary). $24.5B idle, 67% at 0% yield.
20 target DAOs selected across 3 tiers. Top 3: Gnosis (new treasury manager), ENS (active forum), Polygon ($1.3B idle).
Governance proposal template created (EN/KO) — Sharpe 3.66, DD -12%, perf-fee-only, ERC-4626.
Grant strategy: UFSF audit subsidy (100% coverage), Hook Design Lab Cohort 2, v4 Hooks Support.
Mainnet direct: skip extended testnet → Arbitrum mainnet with $1.2K seed, capped deposit, 4-week live data.
Thesis page rewritten: DAO treasury pitch with backtest data, market sizing, revenue model, timing (Bunni vacancy).

Design & Marketing Vault Page. Mainnet Site. Phase Restructure. +

Vault page: ERC-4626 deposit/withdraw with ethers.js v6. Rabby/MetaMask, Base auto-switch, real-time stats.
Risk disclosure gate: dark fullscreen warning before vault access. Session-based (resets per tab).
Roadmap restructured: Phase 3→complete, 4→Base Mainnet (active), 5→Grants & Audit, 6→DAO GTM, 7→Moat, 8→Governance, 9→Multi-Chain.
Network transition: Sepolia → Base. etherscan → basescan.org. Tests 164 → 77. beforeSwap → afterSwap.
UNAUDITED banner: vault-only (removed from main/thesis/dashboard). Floating Vault FAB button on all pages.
Typography: Playfair Display restored for titles, Geist Sans body, font sizes enlarged across vault and roadmap.

Development Phase 2 → 3 Complete. LP Activated. +

Solidity contracts complete: ILAlphaHook (V4 hook + EWMA vol oracle), ILAlphaVault (ERC-4626), BaseVault, 2 control vaults. 44 → 65 tests, all passing.
Deployed to Ethereum Sepolia — 3 attempts. Problem: V4 PoolManager not available on Sepolia. Solution: deployed our own PoolManager.
CREATE2 hook deployment failed — owner was proxy address. Fix: added explicit owner parameter to constructor.
Keeper bot live (1hr intervals). First cycle: feeYield > ilCost → LP ON. 100K tUSDC deployed to V4 pool.
SwapHelper deployed for testnet volume generation. CSV metrics logging added.

Strategy Positioning Locked. Arrakis Analyzed. +

We are NOT: staking alt, lending alt, liquidity guarantee. We ARE: IL-defended LP management for capital seeking 15%+ returns.
New token projects identified as highest ROI segment. Pitch: 'your treasury lasts 12mo instead of 6mo.' NOT 'we supply liquidity.'
Arrakis deep dive: B2B dynamic fees for token issuers (keeps LP in) vs our B2B treasury protection (LP removal). Non-overlapping markets.
Survival math: $10K→$1M probability ~17%. Must secure Day 1 customer at mainnet launch (Arrakis playbook).
Fee structure finalized: Stage 1 = 10% performance, 0% management. No fees if no profit.

Design & Marketing Design System + Public Site Live. +

Competitive visual research: Arrakis, Lido, EigenLayer, Sommelier screenshotted and analyzed.
Design system created (DESIGN.md). Direction: Blackstone-inspired institutional finance. Playfair Display + Satoshi + Geist Mono.
Milestone page built with build.py pipeline: roadmap.json → index.html. Live Etherscan tx count per contract.
Deployed to GitHub Pages: official-belta.github.io/il-alpha-site. English/Korean toggle with globe dropdown.
Name changed: 'IL Alpha Vault' → 'IL Alpha'. Vault is generic — we're a protocol, not a container.
