# Introduction

Singularity is an on-chain institutional darkpool built to eliminate MEV, front-running, and trade leakage. Every order—asset, size, counterparty—is encrypted and hidden from mempools and explorers, giving large traders safe, confidential execution. Compliance tools are available for compliance reporting at the option of user.

Underneath, Singularity runs on a proprietary developed EVM compatible zero-knowledge privacy layer:

* ZK Contracts hide ETH, ERC-20, and ERC-721 balances as well all transaction details.
* Relayer Nodes broadcast meta-transactions so users never reveal addresses or pay gas directly.

The darkpool is live with a Phase 1 centralized matching engine, moving toward an (optional) decentralized orderbook with on-chain synchronization and private RPC for low latency.

Singularity is backed by reputable VCs and liquid funds including Gumi Cryptos Capital, Nomura's Laser Digital, Apollo Crypto, DACM and a range of Web3 founder angels.
