Overview
Republic System is a decentralized dark pool protocol for large-scale digital asset trading. The Republic Protocol uses secure multi-party computation (sMPC) to match orders without revealing their price or volume. The Project's dark pool exchanges are designed to facilitate big volume trades with minimum price slippage and market impact while adhering to the dark pool's rules.
RenVM now adds decentralized finance interoperability. RenVM is designed to act as a decentralized and trustless custodian for the digital assets when they move between blockchains utilizing zero-knowledge proofs and sMPC-based protocol.

Technology
RenVM is a Byzantine fault-tolerant system that uses secure multi-party computation to make ECDSA threshold key generation and signature easier (sMPC). RenVM can now securely handle (ECDSA) private keys on many blockchains, allowing tokens to be transferred between them (i.e., interoperability).
Use of native tokens in the ecosystem:
The REN token is used as a bond to run a node (also known as a Darknode because they process information in the "dark") that powers the sMPC network (RenVM).
