what's silhouette?
Silhouette is a privacy execution layer and "Shield Exchange" built on Hyperliquid, designed to enable confidential, MEV-protected trading in DeFi by shielding user strategies from public visibility on-chain. It leverages Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology to facilitate privacy-preserving order matching and settlement, supporting both HyperCore and HyperEVM ecosystems. Key innovations include advanced trading strategies such as TWAP, VWAP, and RFQ, allowing users to execute complex operations without exposing positions to bots or competitors. The project targets institutions, funds, and high-volume traders seeking compliance-friendly infrastructure for private DeFi participation. Silhouette has secured $3M in pre-seed funding led by RockawayX, with participation from Amber Group, HiveMind, and others, positioning it as a foundational layer for secure, verifiable privacy in Hyperliquid's high-performance blockchain environment.
Silhouette launched shielded spot trading and confidential HIP-4 outcome markets on Hyperliquid.
