Trading Without Trade-Offs

Zero front-running. Zero gas trades. Zero slippage. Zero PFOF. Zero internalization. Zero fine print.

Confidentiality from order to execution.

Current exchanges allow counterparties to act on privileged information (e.g. MEV, PFOF, order internalization). In Deepwaters, order flow is both confidential and immutable until it reaches our public order book. Even the platform itself cannot see or act on privileged order flow information.

Fair & equal treatment for all trades. Proven by you.

Trades are processed on a cryptographically secure off-chain hardware layer and invisible to everyone, including Deepwaters, until they are posted to the orderbook. All operations are validated in real time, and anyone can audit Deepwaters to confirm that all trades are performed without bias, privilege, or prejudice.

The best of both worlds, without compromise.

Deepwaters provides the trustlessness and custody protection of decentralized exchanges with the speed, efficiency, and low fees of centralized exchanges.
