This is why we built @GoDark

[Anthony @GoAnthony]

Incidents like this reinforce why custody matters.

Traders deserve control over their own assets.

That conviction is central to what we’re building at GoDark, and security is a responsibility we take seriously every day.

Yesterday, Binance was hit by the largest crypto hack in history.

Attackers drained an estimated $6B from its hot wallets across 10 blockchains, most of it in about 20 minutes. Withdrawals were halted, and millions of users could only wait.

Centralized exchange hacks keep happening: Mt. Gox, Coincheck, Bybit, and now Binance. When one company holds everyone's funds, one breach reaches everyone.

Decentralized exchanges have become more important than ever.

GoDark.

Testnet Phase 1 was a great success.

It helped us identify valuable improvements that have since been implemented across the GoDark platform.

We’re now moving into Private Testnet Phase 2 with a stronger platform, sharper insights, and valuable feedback from our first group of testers.

The door to the dark is opening soon.

Recent issues occurring with Bulk Trade echo the need for a crypto dark pool like @GoDark

Dark order books make ADLs and cascading liquidations less likely to occur, since liquidation levels can't be easily hunted

Instrument listing should scale with liquidity, not the inverse

Risk engines are just as consequential as security vulnerabilities

[Denis Dariotis @GoDenis]

Appreciate the feature from @CoinDesk. A look at the path that led to @go_quant and @godark — and the vision driving how liquidity moves in digital markets

Thanks to @IanAllison123 for capturing the story.

[Denis Dariotis @GoDenis]

It was a pleasure to speak with @fintechfrank on @GSR_io’s Crypto Tape, where we discussed several topics related to market structure, and the solutions @GoQuant and @GoDark bring to the market.

[GoDark @GoDark]

We're introducing GoDark's referral participant structure.

Participants benefit from:
- 20% on first-year referred activity
- 2.5% lifetime participation

Built for those who move with size — and bring others with them.

Join the waitlist. Share the rewards.

@GoDark was covered by @DLNews last week.

The thesis: true order privacy without sacrificing execution is the missing layer in crypto. We're building crypto's first dark pool.

Thank you to @dlnews @EricJohanssonLJ. Article below:

@CallMeAlgy We posted them! Let us know your thoughts

[Anthony @GoAnthony]

All we can say is — WOW.

The level of creativity, intensity, and quality across submissions exceeded every expectation.

So how did we actually select the winners?

We went through hundreds of submissions.

One by one.

And from the start, we made one thing clear:

This was judged purely on the content.

Not your follower count.
Not your engagement.
Not who you are or where you’re from.

Only the video.

That was non-negotiable.

Video selection criteria:

• Hooked us instantly — within the first 3–5 seconds
• Kept us watching all the way through
• Delivered a unique angle — it didn’t feel like a template
• High-quality visuals that elevated the message
• Strong alignment with GoDark’s brand (tone, color, atmosphere)
• Clearly showed the problem — and the solution
• Communicated GoDark’s mission with clarity
• Hit emotionally — it made you feel something

That’s what set 1st place apart. It ticked every box.

Congratulations to @johncodunayo for taking 1st place and winning $10,000.

And to @theProcessXCII, @nelsonnn000, @tanyfx, @13unholy, and @JeremiahDfirst for placing in the top 6, each earning $1,000.

There were many standout videos that made this decision difficult.

As a token of appreciation, we’ll be recognizing a select group as honorable mentions, with a small surprise to follow.

To everyone who participated, we appreciate the time and effort you put into this.

This is just the beginning.

And we’re building this with you.

@Angelguga29 @GoDark This is exactly the kind of brand awareness we hope to inspire. You've captured something we spend a lot of time thinking about internally. Appreciate you putting this into words so clearly.

[Denis Dariotis @GoDenis]

If an exchange is fully permissioned and acts as a centralized operator for matching orders, it is not a decentralized exchange.
