Through Singularity, the buyer and the seller can settle their OTC trades without counterparty risk or an on-chain footprint. This is a non-custodial solution without the need for a third-party escrow service. * Users agree the price and terms offline, then settle atomically via Singularity with full transaction confidentiality. * No transaction data (asset, price, amount) can be seen on explorers or on-chain. **Benefits:** * Secures trading strategies and token allocations * Prevents market impact from on-chain visibility * Maintains regulatory compliance without revealing sensitive information **Example:**\ An investment fund wants to sell a large amount of tokens to another investor without affecting market prices. The transaction is executed **off-chain** but can settle on-chain if necessary, remaining **anonymous**.
