Ekiden is a live Canton-native derivatives exchange with its own validator, a Featured App listing, a working app URL, a comprehensive docs site, REST/WebSocket APIs and an official TypeScript SDK. A $2M Seed round backed by recognizable market-maker and infrastructure investors, plus ecosystem integrations (BitSafe, Tradecraft, Temple), signals credible traction. Transparency is held back by a single named team member and no legal entity or audit details, and on-chain rewards are still zero, but the product substance is clear.

Ekiden on Canton

Featured App and live Canton derivatives exchange operating its own validator, with 5M CC locked and on-chain clearing, collateral vaults, positions and Merkle-verified settlement.

About Ekiden

Ekiden is a Canton-native derivatives exchange built for professional market makers, algorithmic traders and advanced users. Its hybrid architecture runs matching and risk logic off-chain for 5 to 15 ms execution while anchoring orderbook roots, Merkle proofs, collateral, clearing, positions and settlement on Canton. Mainnet launched on September 8, 2026 with controlled access. Ekiden operates its own Canton validator and wallet, offers REST and WebSocket APIs plus an official TypeScript SDK, and supports perpetual futures, cross and isolated margin, advanced order controls, public risk feeds, XP, referrals and volume-based VIP rebates. The team announced a $2M Seed round backed by Aptos, GSR, Flowdesk, Keyrock, Pyth and other investors.

Features

What the product does

Hybrid RFQ and CLOB execution

Combines institutional request-for-quote workflows with a central limit order book for professional price discovery and execution.

Merkle-verified Canton settlement

Orders are matched off-chain, while orderbook roots, inclusion proofs, collateral, clearing, positions and batched settlement are anchored on Canton.

Low-latency matching engine

Designed for 5 to 15 ms execution and up to 200,000 orders per second per market, according to Ekiden's current technical documentation.

Perpetual futures and advanced orders

Supports Market, Limit and Stop Limit orders, GTC, IOC, FOK, Post Only and GTD controls, reduce-only orders and TP/SL.

Margin and risk controls

Supports cross and isolated margin, per-market leverage, liquidation monitoring, funding data, an insurance pool and auto-deleveraging alerts.

Professional connectivity

Mainnet REST and public and private WebSocket endpoints support automated trading, order management, market data and account streams.

Official TypeScript SDK

The public ekiden-ts-sdk provides typed REST and WebSocket clients, authentication helpers and examples for Node.js and browser integrations.

Canton-native identity and wallet

Ekiden operates its own Canton validator and provisions an Ekiden Party ID through Google or email login, with separate Funding and Trading Accounts.

Canton privacy

Trade data is shared only with involved parties and designated observers, while the synchronizer sees encrypted payloads and ordering metadata.

XP, quests and referrals

Users earn XP through eligible trading, position holding, quests and a three-level referral network with 15%, 10% and 5% rewards.

VIP economics

Rolling 30-day volume tiers reduce maker and taker fees, with maker rebates at higher tiers and extra per-market share incentives.

Canton ecosystem integrations

BitSafe cBTC collateral, Tradecraft swaps, Temple vault infrastructure and CCTools access-code distribution connect Ekiden to the Canton ecosystem.

Yes. Ekiden launched on Canton Mainnet on September 8, 2026. Access is expanding in controlled waves through whitelists and unique access codes.
Matching, triggers and liquidation logic run off-chain for speed. Orderbook roots, Merkle inclusion proofs, collateral, clearing, positions and batched state updates are anchored and settled on Canton.

Ekiden operates its own Canton validator and provisions an Ekiden Party ID through Google or email login. Funding Account balances are separate from funds moved into a Trading Account and exposed to trading risk.
