PRIVACY L1 + DEX / PUBLIC TESTNET DEMO
Private positions.
A real order book.
NOCTIS is an operator-blind L1 + DEX built for trading and payments. Matching and liquidations keep working. The person behind the position stays hidden — even from the operator.
THE OPEN LEDGER PROBLEM
The liquidation price was public before it was hit.
In May 2025, James Wynn opened a 40× Bitcoin long on Hyperliquid worth $1.27 billion. Five days later, the account was gone. No inside access was needed to target it: the address exposed the position, margin and liquidation level to everyone.
Whale alerts, liquidation heatmaps and copy-trading bots exist because public position data has value. That value is extracted from the trader.

VISUAL PROTOCOL LAB / SIMULATION
See the boundary. Not a wallet scan.
A visual transition of the design principle in NOCTIS: the market keeps the numbers it needs, while the relationship between a position and its owner stays outside the operator's view.

WHAT NOCTIS KEEPS PRIVATE
Hide the trader. Keep the market alive.
01OPERATOR-BLIND
The position exists. The owner does not.
Orders, margin and liquidations remain computable without exposing the person behind the position to the operator or the public.
02REAL ORDER BOOK
Privacy without deleting the book.
NOCTIS preserves a real order book instead of falling back to periodic batch execution.
03RISK ENGINE
Matching and liquidation still work.
The exchange can process the numbers it needs while identity stays outside the operator's view.
04SELF-CUSTODY
Your capital stays yours.
Your assets remain under your control instead of depending on a validator supermajority to authorize withdrawals.
05SPECIALIZED L1
Built only for trading and payments.
A narrow execution surface targets millisecond performance instead of carrying the overhead of a general-purpose chain.
* Performance figures are from a seven-validator single-machine loopback test and exclude the network segment.
THE MISSING QUADRANT
Fast. Private.
A real order book.
Existing systems sacrifice one side of the triangle. Fast perps expose positions. “Private” venues still expose order flow to the platform. General-purpose privacy chains cannot run the shared state and latency a live order book needs.

NOCTIS
THE CORE DISTINCTION
Matching needs numbers — not identities.
Traditional chains attach position state to a public address. Hide the record and the exchange loses the prices and margin it must compute. NOCTIS is designed around a different boundary: the market keeps the usable state while the owner relationship stays hidden.

PURPOSE-BUILT PERFORMANCE
General chains prove everything. NOCTIS does one job.
Trading systems account in milliseconds. NOCTIS narrows the chain to trading and payments so the exchange does not inherit the latency of a general-purpose execution environment.

NOCTIS: seven validators on a single-machine loopback test; network segment excluded; block interval measured across 2.52 million blocks. Hyperliquid order latency follows its official colocated-client figure. Aztec and Penumbra figures follow their documentation.
THE DEMAND ALREADY EXISTS
Big money does not trade at a transparent table.
Traditional markets already route institutional flow through non-displayed venues. On-chain markets have the same need, but no destination that combines operator blindness with a live order book.
