Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by the official SOL Strategies press release, 'SOL STRATEGIES ACQUIRES DARKLAKE LABS, BRINGING ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PRIVACY TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH TEAM TO ITS SOLANA PLATFORM'. That source explicitly says SOL Strategies entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Darklake Labs' assets for USD $1.2 million and describes Zyga as enabling private transaction execution while eliminating front-running and sandwich attacks at the point of execution. 'SOL Strategies 收购 Solana 隐私技术团队 Darklake Labs | PANews' matches those details and links back to the same company release. The Odaily item also traces to that same official press release. One nuance: the user's wording says 'finalized' acquisition, while the official release says the company 'entered into a definitive agreement' and notes the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions. So the acquisition agreement is finalized, but the closing may not yet be completed.
