Paragon Shield

Paragon Shield is Paragon’s order-flow protection and private routing layer.

When enabled, trades are routed through a private relay and executed via protected pathways instead of being exposed to the public mempool.

Private Execution & Protected Routing

Paragon Shield combines:

• private order flow

• batching

• solver-based routing

• aggregated liquidity (including 1inch)

to improve execution quality while reducing exposure to MEV.

What Makes Paragon Different

Paragon is not limited to a single liquidity source.

Trades can be routed across:

• Paragon liquidity pools

• external liquidity (via 1inch integration)

• solver-optimized paths

This allows:

• better pricing

• deeper liquidity access

• more efficient execution

---

What You Get

• No public exposure before execution → orders are not broadcast to the public mempool

• Reduced sandwich risk → batching removes typical frontrunning timing

• Execution validation → trades must meet minimum output or revert / fallback

• User-controlled execution modes → choose between standard and advanced routing

---

How It Works

1. Private Submission

Two modes are available:

Classic Swap

• routed via private relay

• not exposed publicly before execution

Flow (Intent Mode)

• user signs an intent

• trades can be batched and optimized

---

2. Routing & Optimization

Solvers search for the best execution path across:

• Paragon pools

• external DEXs (via 1inch)

• multi-hop routes

All routes are:

• validated

• optimized

• protected

---

3. Execution

• trades are executed atomically

• reduced frontrunning window

• consistent execution rules

---

4. Settlement

On-chain settlement:

• verifies execution outcome

• records execution data

• logs Proof-of-Best-Execution (PoBE)

---

Aggregation Layer

Paragon integrates external liquidity via:

👉 1inch

This enables:

• access to deeper liquidity

• cross-DEX routing

• improved pricing beyond native pools

---

Multi-Venue Routing (Evolution)

• Phase 1 → 1inch aggregation

• Phase 2 → Paragon + external routing

• Phase 3 → solver-level optimization

---

Privacy Levels

Shield Lite (Default)

• private relay

• anti-sandwich batching

• fastest execution

Shield Private

• full intent mode

• no public mempool exposure

Shield Stealth (Advanced)

• delayed route visibility

• additional protection for large trades

---

Fees & Gas

• no additional Shield fee

• standard swap fees apply

Flow mode

• optional protocol cut may apply at execution level

Gas

• similar to standard swaps

• may increase slightly during batching

---

Compatibility

• tokens → ERC-20 compatible

• wallets → any EVM wallet

• chain → BNB Chain (testnet → mainnet)

---

Limitations

• does not remove market volatility risk

• trades may revert if minimum output is not met

• execution depends on available liquidity

---

Proof-of-Best-Execution (PoBE)

Each trade records:

• minimum expected output

• actual execution output

• execution improvement (if any)

This is displayed as:

👉 “You saved X%”

and is fully verifiable on-chain.

---

Security

• verified smart contracts

• multisig + timelock controls

• solver allowlisting and monitoring

• emergency pause mechanisms

---

Integration

Paragon Shield connects to:

• Flow (execution layer)

• governance systems

• Agent Volt (automation layer)

---

Summary

Paragon Shield provides:

• private transaction routing

• MEV risk reduction

• solver-based execution

• aggregated liquidity access

Paragon Shield is the protection layer that enables safer and more efficient execution across the protocol.
