Pin the moment.
AuctionCalendar defines each collection window and its call block. The scheduler coordinates open, close and midnight sessions with the underlying market calendar.

THE TECHNOLOGY / DESIGNED TO VERIFY
The technology
A clear sequence. A verifiable outcome.
From a pinned call block to a public print, Luminary’s backend specification connects private collection, deterministic clearing and USDG settlement.

THE BACKEND ARCHITECTURE
From schedule to settlement.
From the Luminary product and technical documents.
Explore the complete flow in the terminal.
Compute the cross.
The clearing engine chooses a uniform price inside the reference band. It maximizes crossed volume, respects limits and minimizes imbalance when prices tie.
Verify the result.
The proof orchestrator prepares the intended auction proof. AuctionPool and AuctionVerifier coordinate settlement; PrintRegistry publishes the resulting price and crossed volume.
A CLOSER LOOK
The systems behind the scene.
Private collection and state
The specified AuctionPool tracks sealed intent and settlement state. Public proof inputs include the auction identifier, reference-price root, clearing price, crossed quantity, new state root and nullifiers.
Proofs with a defined scope
AuctionClearProof is intended to verify reference bounds, order limits, asset conservation and the clearing volume property. Each settlement transaction verifies the proof on chain.
A coordinated worker layer
The backend separates auction scheduling, clearing, proof orchestration, print publishing, reference marks and calendar events. Each worker has a defined role in moving a call from collection to a public result.
USDG settlement and RFQ
Buys lock USDG, a dollar stablecoin, and the auction settles in it. RfqDesk provides a separate reference-anchored lane for private two-party blocks between calls.
Calendar-aware operations
The specification accounts for daylight saving changes, market holidays, corporate actions and ex-date pauses. Cancellations are never gated.
The stack
Luminary uses Noir for circuits, Foundry for contracts and Bun with TypeScript for workers, deployed on Robinhood Chain mainnet.
Reference prices come from Chainlink feeds on Robinhood Chain. See Risk & eligibility for the current boundaries.
