Problem
Public blockchain transactions reveal traders' positions, counterparties, profit‑and‑loss data, and strategic intent, which can be exploited by competitors and market makers. Institutional crypto participants require privacy to protect their strategies while still meeting regulatory compliance, a combination that current infrastructure does not provide.
Solution
Tenebrae delivers a self‑custodial trading stack that uses zero‑knowledge proofs and cryptographic compliance attestations to keep institutional positions, counterparties, and strategies hidden on public chains. The platform routes swaps through Uniswap v4 pools, preserving the trader’s identity and wallet history while still producing verifiable settlement proofs. By eliminating leaked intent and extractable signals, Tenebrae enables cleaner execution without sacrificing auditability. The stack also includes earning and access primitives designed to support a broader range of institutional investment activities within a privacy‑first, compliant framework.
Target Audience
Tenebrae targets institutional crypto traders, asset managers, and custodians that require confidential execution of large‑scale swaps and compliance‑ready reporting on public blockchains.
