Problem & Vision
The Problem with Current DEXs
Public order flow in L1/L2 mempools reveals trader intent before execution, enabling:
Front-Running & Sandwiching Sophisticated actors see your order in the mempool and place their own orders around yours to extract value.
Stop-Loss Hunting Large players can see clusters of stop orders and manipulate prices to trigger cascading liquidations for profit.
Predatory Liquidations Traders face aggressive liquidation dynamics that erode PnL and confidence, especially during volatile conditions.
MEV Extraction Miners and validators can reorder, insert, or censor transactions to extract maximum value at traders' expense.
Why Existing Solutions Fall Short
Traditional approaches like private RPCs or order obfuscation provide limited protection:
Single points of trust
Incomplete privacy (timing/size leaks)
No post-trade verifiability
Still vulnerable to sophisticated MEV
