Aidos Darkpool

How it works

Orders never touch a public mempool, so there is nothing to front-run, nothing to copy, and no MEV to extract. Instead, orders are collected and matched in batch auctions that settle at fair midpoint prices, and only a single zero-knowledge proof — carrying no amount, no pair, and no trader address — is posted to Solana. The chain learns that a valid swap occurred and learns nothing else.

This is the same idea institutional dark pools have used for decades to move size without moving the market, rebuilt to be self-custodial, on-chain, and consumer-native.

Capabilities

• Pre-trade privacy — order intent is never broadcast to a public mempool, so adversaries can’t see what you intend before you do it.
• Midpoint pricing — trades execute at the fair market midpoint, not a price bots have already moved against you.
• Low-impact large orders — direct buyer-to-seller matching avoids the AMM price impact that makes large on-chain trades expensive.
• ZK settlement — only a valid proof reaches the chain; no amount, pair, or trader address is ever revealed.
• MEV-resistant by design — with no transparent mempool there is no surface for sandwich attacks. The resistance is structural, not heuristic.
• Batch auctions — orders are pooled, matched, and cleared together, so no single participant can be picked off in isolation.
