Do Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) Have a Mechanism Similar to Dark Pools?
DEXs inherently strive for transparency, but mechanisms exist to minimize front-running, which is a related goal. Some DEX aggregators and protocols offer private transaction relays or batching mechanisms to obscure large orders from the public mempool.
This is often an attempt to mitigate Miner Extractable Value (MEV) exploitation. While not an exact dark pool, these solutions aim for execution with minimal market impact and information leakage.
