You can sell your privacy but can’t buy it back

DARK project aims to provide a secure and anonymous payment system and marketplace app, so you can buy, sell and exchange stuff privately.

DARK : 3 TECH BRICKS AND DEVELOPMENT LAYERS

DARKPAY : stealth encrypted payment & transfer API

DarkPay API uses old but efficient ShadowCoin/Particl Smsg protocol (as a “child” chain) to broadcast messages to all or only targeted nodes. Those messages can relay stores creation, invitations, product listings, orders, trustless escrows contracts… all private and encrypted, preventing spam and user info leak.

DARKBAY : cross-platform dApp with single codebase

Using great Dart language and Flutter framework, we started to develop a cross-platform, single-codebase dApp. Though it is mobile-first oriented, and its main use is the marketplace, as it will be connected to DARKPAY and DARDEX apis, users will be able to buy, sell, exchange any product, service or asset.

DARKDEX : decentralized multi asset exchange layer

As users may want to use the currency of their choice to buy or sell their products or services without the hassle to change them manually, a decentralized and automatic swap service is needed. This layer development is a part of our great interest about Polkadot, as it offers the cross-chain tools needed.

DARK loves Polkadot

Polkadot clearly appears as the future of blockchain and offers the speed, security and all the tools our project needs.

Though development is going on with old but efficient ShadowCoin/Particl protocol, we plan to port all project logic and features to Polkadot, and join DOT ecosystem as a parachain and service provider.
