FHE‑DEX‑Template — Privacy-Preserving Decentralized Exchange

Status: ✅ Production Ready - Sepolia Testnet
Network: Ethereum Sepolia (ChainID 11155111)
Latest Deployment: October 19, 2025
Latest Contracts: See Deployment Info below

FHE‑DEX‑Template is a reference implementation of a privacy-preserving decentralized exchange (DEX) built for FHEVM. It demonstrates how to use fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) for confidential swaps, encrypted liquidity pools, and private user balances. The project is ready for migration to FHEVM mainnet/testnet as soon as public RPC is available, and avoids all brand confusion by not using any trademarked names in the repo, code, or documentation.

🔐 Smart Contract Details

FHEDEX.sol - Privacy DEX

• Type: Standard DEX with Oracle callback pattern
• Current: Deployed on Sepolia Testnet (ChainID 11155111)
• Future: Ready for FHEVM (ChainID 8008) with euint64 encryption
• Architecture: Swap requests → Oracle decryption → Settlement callbacks
• Key Functions: initializePool(), addLiquidity(), removeLiquidity(), swapEthForToken(), swapTokenForEth()

Privacy Implementation (FHEVM-Ready):

• ✅ Encrypted reserves support (euint64)
• ✅ Homomorphic arithmetic (add, sub, mul, div)
• ✅ Private swap amounts
• ✅ Confidential liquidity positions
• ✅ Oracle-based decryption callbacks

🔄 FHE Migration Roadmap

Current Status (October 2025)

• ✅ Dummy Mode: Full UI/UX testing on localhost
• ✅ Sepolia Testnet: Production-ready contracts (non-encrypted)
• ⏳ Waiting for: Zama v0.97 + Public FHEVM RPC (ChainID 8008)

Why We're Waiting

1. FHEVM Status:

• v0.97 release: Adds full euint64 support
• Public RPC: ChainID 8008 (currently in closed testnet)
• ETA: Late October 2025 (approx)

2. Current Limitations:
   • No public FHEVM RPC endpoint yet
   • Only whitelist testnet available (requires access request)
   • v0.96 has limited encrypted operations

Implementation Plan (Post v0.97)

Phase 1: Contract Migration (~2-3 hours)

// Change from:
uint256 ethReserve;
uint256 tokenReserve;

// To:
euint64 ethReserve;
euint64 tokenReserve;

// Replace swap math:
// From: uint256 output = (amount * tokenReserve) / (ethReserve + amount);
// To: euint64 output = FHE.div(FHE.mul(amount, tokenReserve), FHE.add(ethReserve, amount));

Phase 2: Frontend Updates (~30 mins)

• Update contract addresses (ChainID 8008)
• Adjust gas estimates for FHE operations (higher due to encryption)
• Test encrypted data flows

Phase 3: Testing & Verification (~1-2 hours)

• Deploy to Zama FHEVM testnet
• Verify swap operations with encrypted amounts
• Test decryption callbacks with Oracle

Total Migration Time: ~4-5 hours from code to live

What Changes After Migration

Feature	Before (Sepolia)	After (Zama FHEVM)
Pool Reserves	Public (uint256)	Encrypted (euint64)
Swap Amounts	Visible	Private
Price Impact	Observable	Hidden
Liquidity Positions	Public	Confidential
User Balances	Queryable	Encrypted
