🤝Darkswap Overview (Mainnet)

What is DarkSwap?

DarkSwap is Singularity’s flagship institutional darkpool, designed to eliminate MEV, front-running, and trade leakage.

DarkSwap is currently in its Beta Mainnet phase, with controlled access for:

• Users with referral codes, or

• Past testnet participants

The fully open Public Mainnet — available to everyone — will launch in the coming weeks.

DarkSwap runs on top of Singularity’s zero-knowledge privacy layer, enabling confidential trade execution for market makers, funds, and sophisticated traders.

All order details — asset, size, direction, counterparty — are fully hidden from mempools and chain explorers. This provides safe execution for large traders without revealing strategy, liquidity footprint, or intent.

Why is DarkSwap Important?

In today’s DeFi landscape plagued by:

• MEV bots exploiting network latency

• Sandwich attacks increasing trading costs

• Front-running harming everyday users

→ DarkSwap acts as a frontline defense.

It delivers three fundamental properties:

1. Protection Against MEV and Front-running

• Orders are never broadcast in cleartext to the public mempool.

• Block producers and searchers cannot see your intent or trade ahead of you.

2. Confidential Execution for Large Trades

• Trade direction, size, and counterparties are hidden from the public chain.

• Competitors, data providers, and on-chain analysts cannot reconstruct your strategy.

3. On-chain Settlement

• Trading is private, but final settlement happens on-chain via Singularity smart contracts.

• You maintain auditability and finality while avoiding public order exposure.
