⁉️Darkswap FAQs
General Overview
What kind of Darkswap is this?
This is an on-chain orderbook darkswap with 100% obfuscation of all trade details to the public. Only the order placer can see the details of their trade.
What technology is the darkswap built on?
Retail User Interface (dApp). A web-based trading app with wallet integration (WalletConnect, MetaMask, etc.). Traders place/cancel orders, view fills, and manage balances. On-chain, transaction details are obfuscated, so external observers cannot infer intent or size.
Maker API Server. Professional market makers run a self-hosted local API server to submit bulk orders, manage inventory, and connect directly to proprietary trading systems. A desktop, GUI-enabled client is on the roadmap to streamline pro workflows.
Matching Engine.
Current: A centralized coordinator operated by the team that receives obfuscated orders and performs matching.
Roadmap: A decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) matching network where no single node has a full orderbook view; peers match directly using partial views, preserving privacy by architecture.
On-Chain Settlement Layer. Non-custodial privacy-layer settlement contracts verify proofs and execute atomic swaps. The on-chain contract validates correctness, then performs token transfers — settlement is deterministic and auditable without exposing trade details.
