Renegade

Renegade is an on-chain dark-pool decentralized exchange whose peer-to-peer relayers use multiparty computation to match orders privately. Its public Rust repository contains the networking and cryptographic logic for relayer nodes, which maintain local plaintext orders, gossip encrypted order state, and collaboratively prove valid matches.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use the repository when you need the relayer infrastructure behind Renegade's private dark-pool matching, or when you want to start a local instance for development.

Who it is for

  • OTC desks considering an in-house relayer to manage trading intentions.
  • Rust developers working on private order matching, relayer networking, or the project's MPC and zero-knowledge circuits.

Documented uses

  • Run a local relayer instance with a specified inbound port.
  • Manage an OTC desk's trading intentions through an in-house relayer.
  • Inspect CLI configuration options and work with the repository's unit or integration tests.
  • Build or study systems for encrypted order-state gossip and MPC-based matching.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • The repository contains relayer infrastructure and cryptographic logic; its README's local-run instructions do not document an end-to-end trading workflow.
  • Relayers maintain plaintext orders locally while gossiping encrypted order state, so the role of the relayer matters when evaluating an in-house desk setup.
  • Matching execution is replicated within fail-stop fault-tolerant clusters; the project describes inter-cluster semantics separately as Byzantine fault-arbitrary.
  • The README documents Cargo commands for local startup, CLI help, workspace unit tests, and crate integration tests.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start a local Renegade relayer

Run a local instance of the relayer with a specified inbound port.

Before you start

  • A checkout of the Renegade repository.
  • Rust Cargo, as required by the documented cargo commands.

Steps

  1. From the repository's top-level directory, run the command below to start the relayer with inbound port 8000.

    Documented command
    cargo run -- -p 8000

  2. Run the command below to view the CLI configuration options.

    Documented command
    cargo run -- --help

Expected outcome

A locally run relayer configured with the specified inbound port, with CLI options available for inspection.

Guide limitations

  • The README documents local startup and CLI help, not production deployment or order submission steps.
