8. Transaction Types

8.1 Standard Swaps

Best-rate routing across CEX/DEX liquidity. Quotes are computed from integrated venues and executed through the optimal path.

8.2 Private Swaps

Enhanced privacy via a dual-exchange flow with a randomized Layer-1 relay. Intake and outtake occur at different venues; single-use deposit addresses are used.

8.3 Why the Privacy Relay Works (Mechanics)

• Record segregation: intake and outtake maintain separate records (sender vs receiver), preventing a single party from reconstructing the full path.

• Randomized L1 intermediary: the relay asset breaks deterministic chain analysis between input and output.

• Single-use addresses: ephemeral deposit addresses reduce address reuse heuristics.

8.4 DeFi (DEX) Swaps

Direct, non-custodial routing on supported chains and AMMs with explicit slippage controls. Privacy-sensitive users can combine DeFi swaps with private flows before/after the on-chain leg.
