Architecture

Aegis lives on Sonic mainnet (chainId 146). The websites are just front ends. Money, proofs, and rules settle on-chain.

Layers

Layer	What it does for you
Your wallet	Holds keys; can prove Groth16 witnesses in the browser
Sonic RPC	Reads state; broadcasts the txs you sign
AGS ledger	Visible balances + shielded commitments
Verifier factory	On-chain Groth16 checkers per circuit family
Modules	Swap, lend, stake, govern, auction, insure, …
Privacy entry	EIP-712 intents when public shield/transfer is gated

Unshield when you need transparent rails

Trading modes (no marketing fog)

Mode	What SonicScan still sees
Public AMM	Reserves, swaps, LP — full glass box
Governed router	Routed swaps across allowlisted pools
Limit / RFQ	Escrows and signed intents
PrivateAMM	Pool depth stays public; proofs gate policy, not hidden L1 reserves

If the explorer can read the pool, we will not call it “private liquidity.”

Clients

Client	Job
App	Day-to-day DeFi
Token sale	Dutch auction TGE
Native Aegis app	Same stack, local RPC / proving when you want it
Sonic extension	Companion where published
