Why hidden leverage
Every leveraged position on a public venue shows its size and liquidation price. That turns big positions into targets.
On Hyperliquid, trackers such as HypurrScan and CoinGlass show any wallet's positions, leverage and exact liquidation price. On Solana perps, on GMX, on Aave and Morpho, the same data sits in public accounts, and analysts post it as it happens.
The problem
A public liquidation price is a target. Anyone with enough capital or a loud enough account can try to push price into it, and copy-traders and liquidation hunters read the same feeds on every chain.

On the record: lending
Lending is no different. A loan has a liquidation price too, and analysts publish the exact price at which large loans get liquidated.

What exists today
Other privacy tools solve a different part of the problem:
- Identity privacy (NEAR Confidential Intents, Ballast) hides who trades and where the money came from. Positions and liquidation prices stay public on Hyperliquid's order book.
- Shielded transfers (Railgun, Hinkal, Privacy Pools, Umbra) hide transfers and balances, not open positions. Mutexa uses them as funding rails.
- Private venues (Aster, Omni) ask you to move to another venue with its own liquidity.
As of 2026-10-18, no live product hides position size and liquidation price on existing public perps or lending venues, on any chain. That is the gap Mutexa fills. The full comparison, with links, is in Sources and news.
