Every venue that quoted, by its real name.
Private swappers show a wall of exchange logos and route through three partners relabeled as household names. DarkRoute prints what actually answered.

Hidden from the market. Not from you.
The category's habit is to overclaim privacy. This is the exact line, in writing.
- Your order never hits a public order book or mempool as a visible swap.
- Large orders split across routes so no single venue sees the full size.
- No account links your swaps together. Only the receiving address is known to the route.
- The partner filling the order sees the deposit and the receiving address.
- On-chain settlement is public by nature of the chain.
- DarkRoute keeps an order record (ids, amounts, status). No names, no emails, no KYC.
Orders above $5,000 are offered a split: one deposit, several venue legs sized to depth, one receipt. No venue sees the full size. Holder tiers lower the threshold to $500.
The receipt is the marketing.
Every order link now unfurls as a card carrying the venue, the fee and the status. Size is optional; venue and fee are always on. The cashback line joins it when payouts start.

Every private swap accrues stock cashback.
A share of the fee is credited to your address as you swap, and settles as tokenized equities once the fee vault ships. Nothing has paid out yet. The rate climbs with 30-day volume; the tier multiplies it.

The fee discount is live and applies to your quote. Cashback accrues against your address today and begins settling in tokenized stock when the fee vault ships, so treat that line as accrued rather than paid.
Hold the token. Pay less. Never a better price.
The token buys cheaper fees, more cashback and access to power features. It never changes the route or the venue. Route quality is identical for everyone.

A trader that thinks out loud, and can be mirrored.
DarkRoute will run its own autonomous desk on Robinhood Chain with a public wallet and hard-coded spending rails, publishing its reasoning before each move and burning its profit into $DARK. The page below shows the rails and a sample cycle — it is not trading yet.

Set a daily budget. Every desk entry and exit arrives as a pre-filled swap order for your own wallet, scaled to that budget. Your wallet sends the deposit; settlement lands at your address. DarkRoute never holds the funds, even here.
No custody anywhere in the diagram.
DarkRoute can lose its servers and no user funds are at risk mid-route. Partner keys never reach the browser. The desk signer lives in its own box.

/dark quotes the DARK/ETH Uniswap v4 pool from the chain, prints the hook and the price impact at every size, and buys from your own wallet through the Universal Router. No contract of ours in the path. Selling from the page, USDG and tokenized stocks are next.
- Routinglive12 SepWallet QR with amount and address in one scan

Strengths and risks, on the same page.
A router that prints its fee should print its risks.
- +The product shape is proven by a competitor with a live token; we are not testing demand.
- +Printed fee + real venue names is a position competitors cannot copy without admitting their labels.
- +Stock cashback with a hash is native to Robinhood Chain and hard to fake.
- +A public API and a launch tab are distribution the category does not have.
- −Partner affiliate approvals can take one to two weeks; the product waits on them.
- −"Private" has limits and we say so; some traders want a bigger promise than we will make.
- −Robinhood Chain liquidity is thin; stock cashback needs pool depth to settle cleanly.
- −A public agent desk can lose money in public. Rails keep it small, not painless.
- −The competitor can copy back every feature; the moat is speed and honesty, not code.
Questions, answered in plain words.
QDo I need an account or KYC?+
No. You provide a receiving address. That is the whole onboarding.
QDoes DarkRoute hold my funds?+
No. Deposits go to the venue filling the order; settlement goes to the address you gave. If our servers vanish mid-route, the venue still owes you the fill.
QWhat is the fee?+
0.3% of the input, shown in the quote before you deposit. Holder tiers cut it by 5% to 50%.
QHow is the cashback paid?+
As tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain, settled to your receiving address per swap, with a transaction hash on the receipt. Pick one stock or a diversified mix.
QWhat does "private" actually hide?+
Your order from the public book and from the market. Not from the venue filling it, and not from the chain. The docs say this in plain words.
QWhich networks can I receive on?+
EVM chains including Robinhood Chain, plus Bitcoin, Solana and others in the partner registry. The network is inferred from your address.
QCan I pick the venue myself?+
Yes. Auto-pick takes the best output; every quoted venue is one click away, by its real name.
QIs $DARK required?+
No. The token lowers fees, raises cashback and unlocks power features. It never changes the route or the price.
