Trading Privacy & Order Types

What is made dark or private when I trade?

All order details are fully encrypted and hidden from the public, including:

• Asset pairs

• Prices

• Order amounts

• Order direction (buy/sell)

• Intent and strategy

The Darkswap matching engine processes these encrypted orders without the ability to decrypt or access the cleartext trade details — even on-chain. This ensures complete privacy at every step.

What types of orders can I execute?

Darkswap supports three advanced private order types:

1. Limit Order

Executes at your specified limit price or better. Ideal for precise execution within a defined price range.

2. Stop Limit Order

A two-step private workflow: Trigger price → Limit order execution Perfect for setting automated entries once price conditions are met.

3. Take Profit Order

Also a Trigger → Limit structure. Automatically executes when the market reaches your profit target, while keeping all details private.

Can traders verify that they were not front-run?

Yes. Darkswap is architected to eliminate MEV and front-running by design.

You are protected because:

• No mempool exposure

• No cleartext order broadcast

• All settlements require cryptographic proofs confirming correct matching

This proof-based mechanism ensures:

• No MEV

• No sandwich attacks

• No pre-trade information leakage

• No validator or bot advantage

Traders can trust that every execution is private, fair, and verifiably correct.
