Introduction
GoDark is a dark pool for perpetual futures. Matching is off-chain. Collateral sits in a program-controlled vault on Solana.
Venue model
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Book | Dark pool CLOB (central limit order book) — private, not a public tape |
| Priority | Price–time — better price first; same price, earlier arrival wins |
| Orders in transit | HPKE-encrypted to the venue |
| Matching | Off-chain matching engine |
| Custody | Program-controlled collateral vault on Solana |
| Settlement | Checkpoints on Solana — not a public per-user fill ledger. Fills do not move SPL |
The public market feed is aggregates (volume, open interest, funding), not the book.
