DarkRoute Docs

DarkRoute is a private, non-custodial swap router on Robinhood Chain. You pick a token to send and a token to receive, paste a receiving address, and the router fills the order through an intent-based venue, named as-is on the quote. Instant-exchange partners and Robinhood Chain pools join the route table as each integration lands. It hides the order from the market and shows you everything: the real venue, a 0.3% fee in numbers, and a cashback line settled in tokenized stocks. DarkRoute is in beta in one respect only: today's route is a single private-fill leg while partner integrations land. The 0.3% is live and is the whole cost of a swap: DarkRoute routes through an authenticated venue connection, so the venue charges no platform fee of its own on top. Buying or selling $DARK itself is a different transaction on a different venue and carries its own cost, stated in full under $DARK tiers.

Account

KYC

none

Custody

none — deposits go to the venue, settlement goes to your address

Fee

0.3% of input, minimum $0.50, printed in the quote — the only fee on a swap. Buying $DARK itself on its own pool is a separate transaction with its own cost; see $DARK tiers

Cashback

10-40% of the fee, in tokenized stocks, per swap

• ·Quote — today the server quotes one intent-based venue and prints its real name. Fan-out to partners and pools, sorted by best output, is the next stage.
• ·Route table — every row shows the partner's real name, output, ETA, rate type, the fee in tokens and USD, and the cashback estimate.
• ·Destination — paste the receiving address; the network is inferred from its shape.
• ·Order — a deposit address and order id are created at the venue. DarkRoute never holds the deposit.
• ·Status — Awaiting deposit → Confirming → Exchanging → Settled, polled server-side and pushed to the page.
• ·Receipt — venue, fee and status, rendered as a shareable card on every order link. The cashback and settlement hashes join it when payouts begin.

Hidden from the market: your order never touches a public order book or mempool as a visible swap. Dark Split — splitting a large order across routes so no single venue sees the full size — is designed but not built. No account links your swaps together.

Not hidden, and we say so: the venue 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) for support and rewards; no names, no emails, no KYC.

Dark Split

planned: orders above $5,000 (tiers lower it to $500) split into venue legs sized to depth; one deposit, one receipt

Floating rate

Fixed rate

A share of the fee you pay is credited to your address per swap today, and will settle as tokenized equities on Robinhood Chain with a transaction hash once the fee vault ships. Nothing has paid out yet. The stock picker, diversified mix and sub-$0.25 batching arrive with the settler.

Holding qualifies you today and the fee discount is applied on your quote. The staking escrow (30 / 90 / 180 days) is written and public but not deployed; once live it locks the tier and adds the cashback boost, and early unstake drops the tier immediately with no penalty burn. The token never changes the route, the venue or the price. Route quality is identical for everyone.

Burn pipe 1

planned: 30% of daily revenue → market buy → burn. The automation is not built. One manual buyback has run: 1 ETH on 11 Sep 2026, 21,727,826 $DARK sent to the dead address by transfer rather than through burn(), so totalSupply did not move. Live numbers: app.darkroute.exchange/api/burns

Burn pipe 2

100% of realized desk profit, same route

What it costs to buy or sell $DARK itself. This is a different transaction from a swap through the router, and it carries a fee we did not set and cannot change. The DARK/ETH pool on Uniswap v4 is registered with the pons v2 launchpad hook, which takes 3% of every swap through that pool: 1% as a protocol hook fee and 2% as a creator tax. Both were fixed by the launch factory when the pool graduated. 30% of the 1% goes to the protocol; the remainder, plus the whole 2%, is credited to this project's launch address. It applies to buys and sells alike. The token contract itself has no tax: it is a plain fixed-supply ERC-20 with no mint function, no owner and no pause, which anyone can read in the verified source on the explorer.

DarkRoute will run an autonomous trading desk with a public wallet; today /desk shows the rails and a sample cycle, not live trades. A watcher grades new launchpad tokens on Robinhood Chain; the multi-model AI stack writes an observation and a decision; code enforces the rails: $100 per swap, $1,000 per day, two open positions, ETH and USDG only, an ETH reserve kept for network fees. Every line is published before the order is placed.

Mirror mode, planned (DUSK tier, 50 slots at launch): set a daily budget and 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. The desk publishes intent after its own order is placed, so mirrors cannot front-run it.

Every write endpoint fails closed: missing auth → 401, unknown key → 401, tier too low → 403. Keys will be generated in the app at DUSK tier and above; volume routed through a key will count toward the holder's cashback tier. None of this is live yet.

• ·No custody: DarkRoute can lose its servers and no user funds are at risk mid-route; the venue still owes the fill.
• ·Partner API keys live only on the server. The browser bundle contains zero secrets.
• ·When the desk goes live its signer will run in its own isolated container with a small float, unreachable from the app.
• ·The staking escrow and burn ledger are written and public at github.com/darkrouteRH/contracts; neither is deployed and both wait on an external audit. The fee vault is not built — fees currently arrive through the venue, not through a contract of ours.
• ·Address validation per network; sanctioned-address lists from partners honored.
• ·Never share a seed phrase or private key. DarkRoute only ever asks for a public receiving address.

Do I need an account or KYC?

No. A receiving address is the whole onboarding.

How long does a swap take?

Typically 5 to 30 minutes depending on the route; the quote shows an estimate.

Can a swap be reversed?

No. Crypto transactions are irreversible. Verify the address and network on the review step.

Which networks can I receive on?

EVM chains including Robinhood Chain, plus Bitcoin, Solana and others in the partner registry.

Is $DARK required?

No. It lowers fees, raises cashback and unlocks power features.

Where is the contract address?

On the route ticket on the landing page and on X (@DarkrouteRH), at the same minute. Nowhere else.
