MobyMarket¶
Under active development
MobyMarket is under active development. APIs, schemas, and on-chain layouts may change. Production use at your own risk. Issues + PRs welcome — see the GitHub repo.
Finally, a trading platform built for whales.
MobyMarket is an institutional-grade DeFi trading platform designed for traders moving size that would otherwise move markets. It combines an OTC marketplace, sophisticated execution algorithms (TWAP / VWAP), and zero-knowledge privacy features on top of Solana, with a roadmap toward multi-chain support.
What problem does it solve?¶
If you are trading millions on public DeFi venues today, you face a stack of structural problems:
- MEV / front-running — every large order risks being sandwiched.
- Market impact — large trades cause severe slippage.
- Strategy leakage — public order flow telegraphs your positions.
- Counterparty discovery — finding institutions to take the other side of size is hard.
- Compliance — institutional flow needs an audit trail without doxxing the trader.
MobyMarket addresses each of these as a first-class concern rather than a workaround.
Core capabilities¶
Find real counterparties¶
- OTC Marketplace — connect directly with institutions and market makers.
- Request-for-Quote (RFQ) — solicit competitive quotes from multiple counterparties.
- Dark pools — trade without revealing size until matched.
See: OTC Trading Guide, Market Maker Guide.
Trade without moving markets¶
- TWAP — spread execution over hours or days with intelligent timing.
- VWAP — execute against natural volume profiles.
- Smart routing — split across venues automatically.
See: Execution Algorithms, Whale Trading Guide.
Keep your strategy private¶
- Zero-knowledge proofs — trade without revealing amounts or timing.
- Stealth mode — order flow that looks like noise to observers.
- Privacy pools — mix with other whales for stronger anonymity sets.
See: Privacy Features, Privacy Trading Guide.
Stay compliant¶
- Selective disclosure — prove compliance without revealing details.
- Jurisdiction proofs — demonstrate accreditation without revealing location.
- Audit trail — full compliance reporting when required.
Who is this for?¶
- Traders — start with the Whale Trading Guide and the Privacy Trading Guide.
- Institutions — see Institutional Onboarding and the API Reference.
- Market makers — see the Market Maker Guide.
- Developers — start with the Developer Guide, then the Technical Architecture.
How the system is built¶
MobyMarket is structured as a layered set of Solana programs and supporting libraries:
- Main controller — orchestrates operations.
- OTC settlement — peer-to-peer trade execution.
- Execution algorithms — TWAP / VWAP / intent processing.
- Privacy program — ZK-proof verification and confidential transfers.
- Oracles — price feeds and market data aggregation.
For implementation detail see the Technical Architecture and the Solana Programs Specification.
Project status¶
The codebase under this repository is the in-progress implementation of the MobyMarket whale trading infrastructure. The phased rollout (OTC, then privacy, then multi-chain, then AI-assisted execution) is described in the Implementation Roadmap and the Implementation Order.
