DUSK enables obfuscated order books through Hedger, the privacy engine built for DuskEVM. In traditional on-chain order books, order size and intent are immediately visible, which can expose participants to front-running or market signaling risks.
Hedger addresses this by encrypting balances and transaction amounts using homomorphic encryption, while zero-knowledge proofs ensure correctness of execution. Orders can be placed, matched, and settled without publicly revealing sensitive information such as order size or position exposure.
DUSK underpins this system by handling settlement and fees while maintaining deterministic execution. The result is an order-driven market structure that aligns more closely with institutional trading standards, where price discovery can occur without full disclosure of participant intent, yet remains auditable when required.#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
