Singularity Darkswap, the flagship darkpool DEX built on Singularity’s modular privacy infrastructure, is entering its final phase before mainnet launch in late Q4 2025 - Marking a major milestone for confidential on-chain trading across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Horizen, and other EVM-compatible chains.
Since day one, Darkswap has pursued a single mission: To bring confidential execution to on-chain trading.
By leveraging Singularity’s modular privacy infrastructure, Darkswap ensures that users can execute swaps, transfers, and orders without exposing wallet identities or trading intents.
Its encrypted Matching Engine eliminates MEV, front-running, and trade leakage, giving traders the confidence and security of a private darkpool within a fully on-chain environment.
Testnet Achievements:
These metrics validate Darkswap’s performance and demonstrate strong demand for confidential, high-integrity trading infrastructure.
Between March and September 2025, the Darkswap testnet achieved:
Each epoch brought Darkswap closer to production readiness, refining transaction throughput, proof efficiency, and relayer reliability.
Singularity is the cryptographic foundation behind Darkswap.
Built on UltraPLONK proofs and Noir-based circuits, Singularity provides auditable, scalable privacy for any on-chain protocol.
In Darkswap’s context, Singularity delivers:
“Over the past year, we’ve proven that private and compliant trading can coexist on-chain,” said Jemma Xu, Co-Founder and CEO of Singularity.
“As Darkswap approaches mainnet, our focus is scaling this infrastructure to serve both institutional and individual traders - making privacy the default, not the privilege.”
Set to launch in Q4 2025, the Darkswap Mainnet will introduce the next generation of confidential execution:
Darkswap will serve as the first live application of Singularity’s privacy layer, positioning itself as the confidential execution venue for DeFi and institutional-grade trading.
Darkswap is a privacy-first decentralized exchange enabling confidential swaps and order matching across EVM-compatible chains.
Using zero-knowledge proofs and encrypted matching, Darkswap prevents MEV, front-running, and data leakage, allowing users to trade safely and discreetly on-chain.
At present, Darkswap operates through a centralized encrypted matching server, which aggregates encrypted orders and executes secure matches.
As part of its roadmap, Darkswap will transition toward a decentralized trade matching engine run by a series of network nodes , where:
Singularity is a zero-knowledge settlement layer that turns public blockchains into private yet verifiable ledgers. Its smart contracts hide balances, transfers, and swaps for ETH, ERC-20, and ERC-721, while a relayer network handles gas anonymously, letting users interact on-chain without revealing identity or transaction details.
Users are required to KYB/KYC via Singularity's compliance layer with tools available for compliance reporting at the option of the user.
The first major application of this layer is the Singularity Darkswap - an encrypted orderbook and matching engine that blocks MEV, front-running, and slippage, giving institutions and funds a safe venue for confidential block trades. While trading with Darkswap, no KYC is required.
With Singularity, privacy is infrastructure, and the darkpool is proof of what becomes possible when zero-knowledge and DeFi meet.
Singularity is backed by reputable VCs and liquid funds including Gumi Cryptos Capital, Nomura's Laser Digital, Apollo Crypto, DACM and a range of Web3 founder angels.
