# Private orders

Private orders are similar to public orders, but they can only be filled by a specific counterparty.

To create a private order, the maker supplies the address of a specific counterparty wallet. Only that wallet can accept the offer. The order does not appear in the order directory, but a unique link is generated that the maker can share with their desired counterparty.

Private orders can be useful for users who want to trade with a specific person or group, or who want to maintain a higher level of trading privacy.

Overall, the private orders feature of Illiquid Market offers users an additional level of control and flexibility in terms of trading on the platform.
