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.
