Markets moved on-chain, their discretion did not

Open ledgers settle in seconds and publish everything. Closed networks keep secrets and ask you to trust whoever runs them. Deploier takes the speed of the first and the confidentiality of the second.

See how settlement works

Transparency became a trading signal

On a fully public chain, a large holder cannot move without being watched. Wallet trackers flag the transfer, bots trade ahead of the rest of the order, and competitors reconstruct a strategy from a week of history.

When an incoming settlement is visible before it is final, someone will trade against it, and the cost lands on the party that moved first. A broker's settlement wallet shows who it pays and how much; for a regulated firm that is a confidentiality breach, not only a privacy issue. And once a ledger has published a position, nothing recalls it.

Institutional readiness is the goal the design is measured against. None of the groups below are users today, and no institution has endorsed Deploier.

Target users

Financial institutions
Banks, brokers and custodians that need to settle client flows without publishing client positions.
Capital markets venues
Exchanges and trading platforms that want on-chain finality for matched trades while order flow stays confidential.
Asset issuers
Corporate treasuries and fund managers issuing tokenized bills, shares or receivables to an allowlisted set of holders.
Payment providers
Stablecoin networks and processors that pay merchants and payroll without making every invoice public.
Crypto institutions
Regulated exchanges and professional traders that post margin and move collateral around the clock.

Closed networks fixed privacy by hiding the rules

Permissioned ledgers keep data inside a consortium. That solves exposure and creates a new problem: nobody outside can check that the rules were applied the same way to everyone, and every participant depends on the operator staying honest and online.

One operator, one failure

If the consortium's servers stop, settlement stops. If its admins change a rule, members find out afterwards.

Islands that cannot meet

Each private network is its own pool of assets. Moving collateral between them takes the same manual reconciliation the technology was meant to remove.

Trust without proof

A member can be told a trade settled, but cannot prove it to a third party without the operator's help.

The Deploier answer: public rules, private books

Deploier puts only commitments on the public tape and keeps the deal itself with the parties. The rules for forming, accepting and expiring a settlement are written down for anyone to read. Final states are stamped against Robinhood Chain blocks, which no single company controls.

Built on an existing chain, not a new one

Robinhood Chain already carries tokenized equities, a dollar token (USDG) and the wallets people use. Starting there means no new validator set to trust and no bridge to cross.

Disclosure is a choice, record by record

A view key opens exactly one settlement. Handing it to a reviewer proves that deal without exposing any other.

Every agreement is signed

Proposals and acceptances are wallet signatures over plain-language terms, so the record of consent is as strong as the keys behind it.

Honest about what is live

Every screen says whether it is in practice mode or sending a real transaction, and the contracts state plainly what they do not hide: token amounts on chain are public.

FAQs

What is Deploier?

Deploier is a privacy settlement layer on Robinhood Chain. It lets two parties settle a trade, a payment or a tokenized asset while the counterparties, assets and amounts stay private, and only a commitment hash and the final status are public.

It is a token ($DEPLOIER) and an application on Robinhood Chain, not a separate blockchain.

How does Deploier work?

A maker proposes terms to one named counterparty and signs them with a wallet. The terms and a random salt are hashed into a commitment that goes on a public tape with the current Robinhood Chain block.

The counterparty receives a view key for that one record, reads the terms and signs to accept. The public tape then shows the commitment as settled. Anyone holding the terms and salt can recompute the hash to check it.

Is it really private in practice mode?

The public tape on the desk never shows parties, assets or amounts. Private records are stored by the site's server and opened only with their view key, whose hash is all the server keeps.

Practice mode relies on that server for status. With the contracts deployed, status and commitments are read from the chain; the server keeps only the private terms, hash-locked by view key.

Can institutions use it?

Banks, brokers, custodians, payment providers and asset issuers are the users the design targets. None use it today, and no institution has endorsed it. Regulated use would need legal review and compliance controls of each institution's own, which are not part of the contracts.

Which contracts does Deploier use?

Three, with the source published: SettlementEscrow (delivery versus payment between two named wallets), CommitmentRegistry (a public tape of commitments) and AllowlistTokenFactory (tokens only allowlisted wallets can hold, managed by the wallet that issues them).

None of them has an owner, an admin key, a pause switch, a fee or an upgrade path. Their addresses appear on the developers page once deployed; until then the desk runs in practice mode.
