Algorithm Analysis: Rocky
Rocky presents a well-articulated privacy-first perpetual DEX concept for Canton with a clear technical vision, a documentation site, and legal entity disclosure. However, it is still in the building phase with no live mainnet launch, funding details, or demonstrated users/validators, so scores reflect early-stage substance rather than proven traction.

Its long-term goal is to connect professional trading, RWA liquidity, and privacy-preserving on-chain market infrastructure within the Canton ecosystem.

LockedAmulet Margin Security

Rocky FAQ
Connected Projects
Rocky settles on Canton with off-chain Rust matching (sub-10-microsecond claimed) batched to the ledger every 5 seconds, collateral locked in Canton's native LockedAmulet rather than a bespoke smart contract, and sub-transaction privacy so only the counterparties see a trade. Programmatic access is offered via gRPC and FIX. Tokenomics below is stated by Rocky and not independently verified, as there is no public tokenomics page and no ROCKY contract address yet: a 1B fixed supply (45% mining airdrop, 15% ecosystem, 15% investors, 15% team and advisors, 10% liquidity), and Rocky says 25% of platform fees would flow to ROCKY stakers paid in CC.
