Darkpool Architecture and Usecase
Architecture
The Singularity Darkpool is a modular trading layer built on top of its zk-infrastructure, providing institutions and DeFi participants with confidential order execution, protection from MEV, and optional compliance.
1. User Interaction Layer
Traders / Institutions / Funds: Submit confidential orders (market, limit, block).
SDK / API Integration: Professional traders, market makers, or dApps connect directly via SDKs or APIs.
Wallet Abstraction: Users interact without exposing their real wallet addresses.
2. Order Management Layer
Dark Orderbook: Stores obfuscated orders (asset pair, size, address hidden).
Matching Engine: Matches buy/sell orders internally, ensuring fair execution.
Order Types Supported: Market, limit, and large block trades.
3. Privacy & Security Layer
zk-Circuits: Obfuscate order details, balances, and settlement transactions.
Relayers: Submit meta-transactions to the chain, preventing gas-linked identity leaks.
On-chain Proofs: Validate that order matching and settlement respect confidentiality and integrity.
4. Settlement & Liquidity Layer
Asset Vaults: Secure custody for ETH, ERC20, and ERC721 until trades are executed.
Liquidity Pools: Orders routed internally or matched via aggregated institutional pools.
Cross-Chain Bridge (optional): Facilitates order flow and settlement across EVM chains with privacy-preserving validators.
Usecase
DarkSwap is the flagship trading product built on Singularity’s modular privacy infrastructure — a Darkpool designed for DeFi traders.
It allows users to execute swaps without exposure to MEV bots, sandwich attacks, or front-running, ensuring fair and private trading. Unlike traditional privacy tools, DarkSwap is focused on protecting traders from systemic exploitation, not just hiding data.
Key highlights:
Bot-proof trading — no MEV, no sandwiching, no slippage manipulation
Transparent privacy — traders know exactly what’s protected
Accessible — no KYC at launch, open to casual and pro traders
Testnet pairs — SepoliaETH/MockUSDC and Horizen ETH/USDC
As more pairs launch on mainnet, DarkSwap demonstrates how Darkpool technology safeguards users and restores trust in DeFi trading.
