We’re excited to announce that Renegade, crypto’s first decentralized dark pool, is now live on Arbitrum.

Start trading at trade.renegade.fi — all you need is a crypto wallet.

Trade on Renegade

Renegade is a fully-private decentralized exchange with zero MEV, copy trading, slippage, spread, or price impact.

Dark pools account for nearly half of equities trading volume in traditional finance, and Renegade unlocks dark pool trading for DeFi for the first time.

Why Dark Pools for DeFi?

DeFi is the future, but current decentralized exchanges are fundamentally flawed. Traders have lost billions to MEV, wallet tracking, statistical arbitrage, and quote fading, largely because today’s on-chain exchanges are fully transparent.

In TradFi, similar privacy concerns led the biggest financial institutions to come together to build dark pools — private, peer-to-peer trading venues where order information is held private from adversaries.

Building a dark pool in traditional finance is easy enough — just trust a big bank like Goldman Sachs to not leak order information. However, how can we do this in DeFi, where we cannot rely on a centralized intermediary?

The answer lies at the frontier of cryptography — Renegade uses both multi-party computation and zero-knowledge proofs to enable privacy during the entire lifecycle of a trade.

By leveraging MPC and ZK, Renegade brings private trading to DeFi, without compromising on any principles of decentralization.

What’s Great About Renegade?

In addition to guaranteed global privacy, Renegade guarantees optimal pricing on all of your trades with zero slippage, spread, or price impact.

Renegade is unlike other decentralized exchanges — it’s neither an AMM nor a CLOB. Instead, Renegade is a crossing network, a peer-to-peer liquidity network that allows natural buyers and sellers to anonymously find each other.

And since Renegade matches traders peer-to-peer, crossing networks can give traders optimal execution. Specifically, whenever you trade in Renegade, the price you get is equal to the midpoint of the bid-ask spread on Binance.

Since Binance is the most liquid venue for price discovery, Renegade delivers true global best execution — no more stale AMM prices, no more thin order book liquidity, and no more crossing wide spreads.

Trade on Renegade

As of today, Renegade is live on Arbitrum One.

Trade on Renegade

The best part? It’s completely open to anyone. TradFi dark pools are only available to the biggest financial institutions, whereas DeFi enables institutional-quality pricing for all traders, no matter the size.

We’re also directly onboarding liquid token funds and market makers with a dedicated cluster. Get in contact at chris@renegade.fi, or check out the node codebase directly.

Happy trading!
