The Secret x Shade Perpetual Swap Hackathon is a collaborative event where talented developers and DeFi visionaries with a passion for privacy can converge and create the next generation of decentralized financial opportunities that preserve user data privacy. Through this Hackathon, Shade Protocol and Secret Network hope to encourage and facilitate the development of a Proof of Concept (PoC) for a decentralized leverage trading platform that utilizes secret smart contracts. If successful, the Hackathon winner would receive a grant from Shade Protocol and Secret Labs to make this PoC production ready and launch on Secret Network Mainnet.

Perpetual Swap Introduction

Decentralized Finance offers lending, borrowing, trading, and yield farming opportunities, attracting billions of dollars in assets. Perpetual swaps are a type of derivative contract widely used in cryptocurrency trading that enables traders to speculate in a leveraged fashion on the future price of an asset without owning it. Just like within traditional derivatives markets, crypto derivatives market volume (perpetual swaps) drastically exceed the spot market volume as a result of the leveraged positions involved. As a result, Perpetual Swap Exchanges generate increasingly large amounts of revenue from fees and cement them as some of the most profitable decentralized financial products to date.

As a result of the high leverage nature of perpetual swaps and the impact they have on spot markets, the liquidation points of large traders are constantly being tracked on public blockchains. This public data can be leveraged by programmatic actors to attempt to extract value from traders through market manipulation to cause cascading liquidations. However, with secret smart contracts, liquidation points of traders would be completely private and only known to them. The data privacy that Secret Network provides for its smart contract interactions allows users to partake in leverage trading in a secure and permissionless way that prevents value extraction.

In summary, a hackathon dedicated to building a decentralized perpetual swap exchange on Secret Network responds to the need for data privacy in derivative markets and will spur a lasting wave of novel utility, activity and sustainability for Private DeFi on Secret Network.

Evaluation and Success Metrics

Requirements:

  • Provide clear documentation for developers and users on how to interact with the platform and its smart contracts.
  • Core smart contract functionalities:
    • Perptual Swap Contract
      • Limit and market order placement with inputs being trading pair, order type, order size, leverage, stop loss and take profit, etc
      • Matching engine that matches buy and sell orders based on predetermined criteria and execute them
      • Users should be able to open, modify and close positions
      • Implement risk management mechanisms including the ability for admin/gov to set market and position limits, max leverage limits, circuit breakers, liquidation mechanisms, etc
      • Calculate and apply funding rates to maintain fair market price in swap contracts (payments between long and short position holders)
    • Liquidity Pool (AMM) Contracts:
      • Integrate with perpetual swap contracts
      • Allow users to provide liquidity to the perpetual swap contracts by depositing assets into the liquidity pools. Users provide assets for both long and short positions.
      • Allow users to swap using LPs
      • Ensure LPs are balanced to maintain asset ratios
      • Charge fees on trades that occur
    • Price Feed Contracts
