Ekiden

Institutional-grade infrastructure for professional trading

Problem

Institutional trading flow remains on traditional and centralised venues because existing on-chain derivatives exchanges cannot deliver the speed, execution quality, and liquidity professional firms require.

Solution

Ekiden combines a high-performance CLOB with an RFQ execution model, delivering the speed, liquidity, and execution quality professional trading firms require.
