Overview

GoDark is a dark pool for perpetual futures on Solana. The orderbook is a central limit order book (CLOB) matched with price–time priority. The book and matching engine run across an MPC committee, so no single operator holds the book. A sequencer inside a TEE enclave assigns a global order to encrypted payloads before they reach matching. Settlement lands on Solana as encrypted commitments, not readable balances — positions, amounts, and counterparties stay private during and after each trade.

Performance

MetricValue
Matching latency~150–750μs per order
Throughput10,000+ orders/second
Fault toleranceAny 2 of 5 nodes can fail without downtime
Geographic resilienceAutomatic failover across 3–4 global regions in ~20–50ms

These numbers reflect the MPC protocol's overhead relative to a centralized engine. Sub-millisecond matching is more than sufficient for the target use case: traders who value privacy and execution quality over raw speed.
