Hope you all are well. By the grace of Allah I am also well. Every engagement contest this week is awesome. So today I'm off to participate in this wonderful engagement contest hosted by Steemit's very own community. The name of this contester is [Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S11W3 - Dark Pools In Crypto](https://steemit.com/hive-108451/@crypto-academy/steemit-crypto-academy-contest-season-11-week-3-dark-pools-in-cryptocurrencies). Now I will discuss the topic Dark Pool in Cryptocurrency in detail. So let's get started, stay with me. |_{Discuss in your own words what Dark Pools are in cryptocurrency. And explain how it works?}| ---| Dark pools in cryptocurrency refer to private trading platforms or exchanges where large institutional investors can execute large orders without disclosing their intentions to the public. So these pools allow for greater privacy and less market influence while conducting significant business. But unlike regular exchanges dark pools do not display order book information. Which can lead to more prudent trading. So the main aim of this dark pool is to provide security to big traders so that they can trade secretly. However, there are concerns about transparency and potential market manipulation within this environment. This is the crypto dark poll. ![dark-3123582_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZe17K1XGocP3PRyoCzzRR5ZTcBqUBL6tJMxsdmvGebDi/dark-3123582_1280.jpg)[Source](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/oscuro-blockchain-cripto-digital-3123582/) **How it works :** In the context of cryptocurrency, dark pools function similarly to traditional finance or other trending platforms. These are private exchanges where large institutional traders can execute large orders without disclosing their intentions to the public market. But it helps prevent price slippage and front running. So dark pools in the crypto space provide privacy and liquidity to institutional players. Facilitates large businesses without affecting market value. So this is how the dark pool works. |_{Do all crypto exchanges offer a dark pools? If yes, explain how does its dark pool work? What tokens are supported? Are there any fees attracted? And What are the requirements to get involved in dark pools trading on the platform?}| ---| To be honest, I don't have much experience in this matter. But as far as I know not all exchanges offer dark pools. Because all currencies and currencies have fixed exchange rates. Dark pools are private trading venues that allow large institutional investors to trade large blocks of assets without revealing their intentions to the public. Although some cryptocurrency exchanges offer dark pools. They are not a standard feature across all platforms. It is best to check the specific offerings of each exchange to see if they provide dark pool services. Dark pool tokens are often designed to leverage growth, critical quality, and privacy. In fact, they are mainly available exclusively for large institutional exchange workers. They are not commonly available in the market, as they are secret and available for exchange for the first time. So the dark pool tokens are going to an initial growth, which provides an opportunity to exchange with the enthusiasts. Hence it is commonly used to boost token value and leverage trading through exchanges. |_{For the chosen dark pools, show how to perform block trading on the platform. (Screenshots required).}| ---| ![chart-6716410_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNrJtWwTuJbdx5vsoDUXGNAGipTjQPjSTyiPyCs4CFj6V/chart-6716410_1280.jpg)[Source](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/gr%C3%A1fico-valores-mercado-iphone-6716410/) Actually need to know about block trending. Crypto block trading refers to the process of executing large cryptocurrency orders outside of the open market on our private or specialized platforms. Rather than placing a large order on a regular cryptocurrency exchange where it could potentially cause significant price fluctuations. Block trading allows institutional investors or high-net-worth individuals to buy and sell large amounts of cryptocurrency in a more controlled and discreet manner. Block trading platforms match buyers and sellers for large businesses, enabling them to trade at agreed prices without affecting the wider market. So I've done some research and found that some of the most popular dark groups are the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, etc. So other users may have discussed more about this. But these are dark groups. Here, big companies conduct their operations outside the stock market keeping their identities hidden. Their identity is not revealed there. That's why I can't seem to find any screenshots of this work. |_{Explain the decentralized dark pools? State a decentralized dark pool in cryptocurrency and discuss it. How it works?}| ---| First, crypto dark pools are private trading platforms where large institutional traders can execute significant cryptocurrency orders without disclosing their intentions to the wider market. These platforms offer increased privacy and reduce market influence. Decentralized dark pools on the other hand refer to trading platforms within the cryptocurrency space. Where buyers and sellers can trade large amounts of cryptocurrency anonymously. These platforms aim to provide increased privacy for large trades and reduce market impact by matching orders without revealing the full details of the trade. Unlike dark pools prevalent in traditional financial markets, decentralized dark pools operate on blockchain technology and are not regulated by a central authority. Promotes a more decentralized and trustless environment for business. As an example of this in action I will talk about the Ethereum blockchain. You will find these blockchain dark pools. Where you can talk to each other and do business directly. They can buy and trade Ethereum coins with each other. Dark Pool keeps everything private and safe for us. In this platform we work on trust so we make various agreements. That's why it can also be called a digital contract where we can do all kinds of transactions. Here it is safe and kept secret. |_{Compare a centralized crypto exchange dark pools with a decentralized dark pool. What are the distinctive differences?}| ---| Below is a comparison of a centralized crypto exchange dark pool with a decentralized dark pool: centralized dark pools | decentralized dark pools -|- Here some users may still have concerns about privacy and forward-looking behavior. Because the exchange itself manages the dark pool. | Privacy is generally enhanced in these pools due to the nature of blockchain technology and cryptographic techniques. Concentrated here is safer than dark flowers. | Decentralized dark flowers, on the other hand, are considered less secure. Centralized exchanges control these pools. Which means they can access participants' trading data and potentially use it for their own benefit. | Decentralized dark pools on the other hand operate on blockchain networks. The result ensures transparency and immutability of trade records. It is more transparent than centralized dark pools because it uses blockchain technology. | On the other hand, it is not more transparent than decentralized dark flower but it is less transparent. |_{What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Dark pools in Cryptocurrency?}| ---| Below are the advantages and disadvantages of dark pools in cryptocurrency: **Advantage :** Cryptocurrency dark pools offer greater privacy and better investment opportunities for ordinary people with large trading volumes. Dark pools allow large order submissions where individuals do not have to disclose the full size of the order. It keeps users' personal information private. Dark pools can be used to suspend trades without revealing large orders. This allows larger trades to be completed at a more personally convenient time and offers price advantages on larger exchanges. **disadvantage :** Dark pools cannot function without the help of institutions, through which participants can experience any problems or deadlines. Some dark pools may then publish the entire dark pool without prior information from the public order book, but this may be insecure due to privacy issues. Dark pools are generally designed to improve privacy. But it doesn't guarantee complete privacy. A cryptocurrency dark pool cannot guarantee full privacy unless it has an adequate level of privacy in its settings. | ---| So I am very happy to participate in this wonderful engagement contest. Although the topic was complex and challenging. Still I tried to analyze everything. I am Inviting my lovely Steemian friends @robin42, @solaymann, @sushanta83 to Participate in this Competition. |Thank You So Much For Reading My Blog.| ---| ![20221121_100847.gif](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXrSdnUgLihNkYEabftbyGToKKF9skJV3qJehfD2Aa3bQ/20221121_100847.gif)
