Renegade is a decentralized dark pool protocol that brings private, hidden-size midpoint trading to on-chain markets. Renegade's Twitter Score is 97 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #7,606 (top 5%) among 484,166 tracked accounts.
Renegade operates as a decentralized exchange built around dark pool mechanics, matching complementary order flow at the midpoint of the Binance bid-ask spread rather than exposing order sizes publicly. The protocol is live on Arbitrum One and Base, with an Ethereum L1 deployment listed as forthcoming, and v2 Darkpool contracts are deployed across both mainnets as well as Arbitrum Sepolia and Base Sepolia testnets. Renegade launched its public testnet in June 2024 and followed with a mainnet launch on Arbitrum One in September 2024. Its smart contracts, circuit constraints, and zero-knowledge cryptography have been audited by zkSecurity.
Renegade uses MPC-based (multi-party computation) cryptography to keep order sizes and counterparty identities hidden until a trade is settled on-chain. According to its documentation, the protocol processes more than $100 million per day in order flow across its Base and Arbitrum deployments, and over half of CowSwap solvers by volume already integrate with it. Renegade is affiliated with Otter Labs, Inc.
Renegade raised a $3.4 million seed round announced in February 2023, co-led by Dragonfly and Naval Ravikant, with additional backing from Balaji Srinivasan, Tarun Chitra, Robot Ventures, Anagram, Symbolic Capital Partners, Marc Bhargava, Lily Liu, and Lev Livnev. Renegade has published 251 posts and has been mentioned by 42 accounts a total of 79 times.
