Renegade is a new type of decentralized exchange, an on-chain dark pool.
Current DEXes are completely transparent: Anyone can see your balances and trade history. In contrast, Renegade gives users universal trade privacy. That means that trading activity is completely obscured from all third-parties, both before and after a trade is filled. No one except the trader can learn the details of her balances or trades.
Renegade is also oracle-free: distributing the matching engine means that prices may be agreed upon and authorized rather than imposed upon traders from an oracle. This allows Renegade's matching engine to build around a "bring your own price" model, which obviates the need for an oracle.
In all, Renegade provides users guaranteed best execution at the real-time Binance midpoint with full pre-trade and post-trade privacy.
Renegade makes two fundamental steps to achieve pre- and post- trade privacy:
- Renegade decentralizes the order book -- each user alone knows their balances and orders. The matching engine is then run on distributed state and its execution made input-private by encoding the matching engine logic in a secure two party computation, based on SPDZ. This gives the system pre-trade privacy; no party learns another's state as guaranteed by the 2PC.
- Renegade Merklizes the exchange state and stores the tree in a Stylus smart contract. The leaves in this tree are opaque, blinded commitments to user "wallets" that contain balances, orders, etc. The smart contract is equipped with a PlonK verifier, which allows the contract to enforce predicates representing match settlement, user state updates, etc on any commitments inserted into the Merkle tree. The commitments & zero-knowledge proofs attesting to their validity provide the exchange with a secure, post-trade private settlement layer.
Lastly, to take part in MPCs the user must be "online" at all times. This is an unrealistic assumption, so we introduce relayers; actors in the system that manage the state of user orders and shoulder the computational burden of the PlonK prover. Relayers can be grouped into clusters to enable horizontal scaling, with each relayer in a cluster having identical permissions to manage its share of the overall state.
Note: When a user delegates its wallet to a relayer, the relayer may only match orders, it may not update state: placing/cancelling orders, depositing/withdrawing balances, etc. This protection is encoded in a wallet's keychain, which is only partially shared with the relayer, and which the smart contract uses to authenticate state updates.
The following figure shows three relayer clusters interacting with the smart contract; including a "Public Gateway" managed by Renegade.

We delineate the critical versus high severity of a finding based on safety versus privacy respectively. That is, a critical finding must demonstrate high likelihood of being exploited and with impact that results in the theft or freezing of user funds.
A finding that does not place user funds at risk but demonstrates a high likelihood of being exploited with impact that results in the leaking of user balances or open orders will not be classified as critical, but may be classified as high.
Note that at launch, MPC matches are disabled -- all state is managed by the Renegade cluster, which will rely solely on its internal matching engine. So findings in the context of the MPC matching engine are out of scope until MPC is enabled.
As such, the relayer codebase is scoped down to those sources relevant to the safety of user funds and the privacy of user state in a single-cluster setup. These are, in particular: the circuit types, circuits, gadgets, and the relayer's API server -- through which state is accessible.
As the system decentralizes, this scope will expand to include sources relevant in the multiparty context.

The following are publicly known issues that will not be considered valid findings, but may be helpful pointers as to where to look for vulnerabilities:
-
Users may avoid paying the relayer a fee if they are able to "self match" at a zero (or low) price — effectively a transfer to another wallet. This drains a balance in one wallet, and allows the user to abandon the wallet with its non-zero fees.
The user will still owe a fee on the transferred balance in the new wallet, but this may be less than what they owe on the abandoned wallet.
Relayers choose prices themselves in the price agreement phase of the match, so naturally they will choose fair market prices to avoid this. However, if a user queues up a "self match" manually (without going through the relayer) they may still exploit this.
-
Owner: The owner of the darkpool may pause and unpause the system, set the protocol fee and fee encryption key, and upgrade any contract in the system. [Source Code]
-
Relayer: A relayer manages user state -- shopping around orders and proving state transition predicates in zero-knowledge. The relayer should never be able to place orders, deposit/withdraw balances, etc without the user's authorization via their privately held keychain.
The relayer is trusted to faithfully execute orders at the real time Binance midpoint. As such, the relayer selecting a malicious price is not classified as theft of funds.
Note that while the relayer is trusted with price agreement, user orders have a
worst_cast_pricefield that backstops the price that the relayer chooses.
