Confidential
DeFi
Build financial applications where transactions, strategies, and participants remain private while execution stays verifiable and decentralised.
What Is
Confidential DeFi?
Confidential DeFi uses MPC to protect sensitive financial data while ensuring correct execution and on-chain settlement.
Practical Implementations
Enable private auctions, confidential swaps, shielded transactions, MEV-resistant trading, and compliant DeFi mechanisms without sacrificing decentralisation.
What Is Privacy-Preserving DeFi?
Privacy-preserving DeFi uses MPC to protect sensitive financial data, hiding amounts, strategies, and counterparties while ensuring correct execution and on-chain settlement.
Practical Implementations
Enable private auctions, confidential swaps, shielded transactions, and advanced financial mechanisms without sacrificing decentralisation, composability, or regulatory alignment.
Confidential DeFi Use Cases
Front-Run Protected DeFi (Private Auctions)
Front-run protected DeFi enables private auctions where bids remain hidden during execution, preventing manipulation while preserving fair and verifiable market outcomes.
Problem: DeFi markets are vulnerable to front-running and MEV attacks because transaction data is visible before execution. Bots monitor pending transactions, identify bids, and insert their own orders ahead of users, exploiting transparency to manipulate prices and extract value from unsuspecting traders.
Solution: Partisia Blockchain enables private auctions using decentralised MPC, where bid prices are secret-shared and computed without disclosure. The auction executes confidentially, and only the final outcome is revealed. This prevents MEV bots from observing or exploiting bids while preserving fair execution and verifiable settlement.
Shielded Transactions
Shielded transactions enable on-chain payments with privacy by default, while preserving governance and auditability for authorised oversight.
Problem: Public blockchains expose transaction details, allowing anyone to trace balances, counterparties, and behaviour. Fully anonymous transactions address this but raise regulatory and law-enforcement concerns. The lack of controlled transparency creates tension between individual privacy, compliance requirements, and legitimate oversight.
Solution: Partisia Blockchain enables shielded transactions using decentralised MPC to decouple sender identities from transaction execution. Transaction details remain private by default, while governance rules allow authorised parties to access specific information when required. All actions are cryptographically enforced and recorded on-chain, balancing privacy with accountability.
