Order books, custody rails, and risk controls—trading infrastructure that treats compliance and uptime as product features.

Trade with controls—matching, wallets, and surveillance your counsel can explain

We implement limit and market workflows with position limits, kill switches, and fee schedules you can tune without redeploys. Hot and warm wallet policies align to your custody model; deposit and withdrawal flows include travel-rule hooks where your jurisdiction requires them. Market surveillance patterns flag wash trading and layering—exports fit investigations, not screenshots from a single admin panel.
