Private DeFi

DeFi's transparency is both its strength and weakness. While open ledgers enable trustless verification, they also expose every transaction to frontrunning, MEV extraction, and competitive intelligence gathering. AFHE enables truly private DeFi.

The Problem with Public DeFi

Every DeFi transaction today reveals:

  • Trade details: Amount, direction, timing

  • Wallet balances: Complete portfolio exposure

  • Strategy patterns: Predictable behavior for MEV bots

  • Counterparty information: Who you're trading with

This transparency costs users billions annually through MEV extraction and front-running.

AFHE-Powered Solutions

Private AMMs

Traditional AMM: Everyone sees pending swaps → frontrunning

AFHE AMM: Trades execute on encrypted order flow

How it works:

  1. User submits encrypted swap request

  2. AMM processes swap on encrypted balances

  3. State updates without revealing trade details

  4. Only the user knows their execution price

Benefits:

  • Zero frontrunning

  • No sandwich attacks

  • Fair execution for all users

Dark Pool Trading

Institutional-grade trading without information leakage:

  • Encrypted order books: Orders visible only to matching engine

  • Hidden liquidity: Large orders don't move markets

  • Private settlement: Counterparties remain anonymous

  • Compliance ready: Selective disclosure for regulators

Private Lending

Current lending protocols expose:

  • Collateral positions (liquidation hunting)

  • Borrow rates (rate arbitrage)

  • Health factors (timing attacks)

AFHE lending keeps positions encrypted:

  • Liquidations happen without position exposure

  • Interest accrues on encrypted balances

  • Collateral ratios verified without revelation

Encrypted Stablecoins

Privacy-preserving stablecoins with compliance:

  • Private transfers: Amount and recipient hidden

  • Selective disclosure: Prove balance without revealing it

  • Regulatory compliance: Auditable when required

  • Cross-chain: Works across any blockchain
