Overview
Renegade is a decentralized exchange that operates as an on-chain dark pool, keeping users' balances and trade histories private from third parties. It uses Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to protect privacy and security. Trades occur at midpoint prices to minimize price impact and slippage, which is especially helpful for large orders. The platform earns fees on trades and emphasizes absence of counterparty risk and the inability of others to copy trading strategies. The goal is to provide private, low-friction trade execution in the DeFi market.
