Methodology

How privacy is enforced

Vaelun estimates MEV savings by comparing a completed private intent against a public execution exposure heuristic. This page documents the calculation, the data we use, and what is never stored server-side.

Inputs

  • Completed private swap intents.
  • Intent input asset, input amount, and chain.
  • Privacy settings active at signing time.
  • Reference USD price for the input asset.

Heuristic

  • Protected private swaps: input USD × 0.35%
  • Public or reduced-privacy swaps: input USD × 0.08%

The protected estimate models avoided sandwiching, front-running, and adverse public mempool routing. The reduced-privacy estimate models residual exposure when the route still has solver execution but fewer confidentiality guarantees.

What stays private

  • Vaelun does not store transaction contents or balances server-side.
  • Position and analytics APIs are read-through views over the private shard.
  • Only short-lived cache entries exist where configured.
  • Sentry scrubs account IDs, addresses, amounts, transaction hashes, and intent IDs.
