Private Orderflow DEX

A privacy-preserving decentralized exchange built on Solana using Arcium's encrypted computation to prevent front-running and MEV attacks.

🔒 Overview

Private Orderflow DEX leverages Arcium's encrypted compute capabilities to create a dark pool where order details (price, size, side) remain encrypted until execution. This prevents front-running, MEV attacks, and provides fair trading for all participants.

Key Features

• Client-side Encryption: Orders encrypted with x25519 + Rescue cipher before submission
• MPC Matching: Order matching runs in Arcium's encrypted computation network
• Zero Front-running: Order details hidden until execution
• Fair Settlement: Transparent settlement on Solana with verified MPC results
• Token Escrow: Secure collateral management for order execution

Quick Test

# Test the system
cd app
node test-expected-results.js

Expected Output:

🔐 Privacy Model

What's Hidden

• Order price, size, and side (buy/sell) are encrypted client-side
• Matching logic runs in MPC - no single party sees plaintext
• Only matched parties learn they were matched (via callback)

What's Public

• Order commitments (encrypted blobs on-chain)
• Final settlement transactions (token transfers)
• Number of active orders

Threat Model

• Adversary watching chain: Cannot front-run or extract order details
• MPC Security: Requires only 1 honest MXE node (Cerberus protocol)
• Arcium Cluster: Must be trusted for liveness (not correctness)

📊 Usage

Placing an Order

1. Connect Wallet: Use Phantom or Solflare wallet
2. Select Order Type: Buy or Sell
3. Enter Details: Price (SOL per token) and Size (tokens)
4. Encrypt & Submit: Order encrypted client-side and submitted to Arcium
5. Monitor Status: Track order in the order book

Order Matching

1. Automatic Matching: Orders automatically matched when compatible
2. MPC Processing: Matching runs in encrypted computation
3. Settlement: Tokens transferred upon successful match
4. Status Updates: Order status updated to "Filled"

📈 Performance

Benchmarks

• Order Placement: ~2-3 seconds (encryption + submission)
• Matching: ~5-10 seconds (MPC computation)
• Settlement: ~1-2 seconds (on-chain execution)
• Total Trade: ~8-15 seconds end-to-end

Scalability

• Orders per Second: Limited by Arcium MXE capacity
• Concurrent Users: Supports multiple simultaneous orders
• Token Pairs: Extensible to multiple trading pairs

🛡️ Security

Encryption

• x25519 ECDH: Secure key exchange
• Rescue Cipher: Field-based encryption
• Client-side: No plaintext leaves user's device

Smart Contract Security

• Anchor Framework: Type-safe Solana programs
• PDA Security: Deterministic account addresses
• Access Control: Proper permission checks

MPC Security

• Cerberus Protocol: Dishonest majority security
• Single Honest Node: Only 1 honest node required
• Verifiable Results: Cryptographic proofs of correctness
