Ekiden 소개
Ekiden is a hybrid order-book derivatives venue on Aptos, aimed at market makers, quant teams and professional trading desks. Fully on-chain matching struggles to deliver the latency and cost that high-frequency strategies need, while fully centralised matching returns custody and clearing to an operator. Ekiden keeps matching in an off-chain central limit order book with latencies in the low tens of milliseconds, compresses fills into Merkle proofs and batches them on-chain, where deferred settlement and verifiability sit; users keep self-custody, and FIX and CCXT compatibility lets existing strategies plug in.
It starts with perpetuals before spot, using zero maker fees to draw depth from market makers, with a risk engine handling margin and liquidations. Matching and the book are operated centrally while on-chain steps carry settlement and proofs, so verifiability of fills depends on how often proofs are posted.
Ekiden is an institutional-grade decentralized derivatives trading platform founded by Vitali Dervoed for professional traders. On May 4, 2026, Ekiden closed a $2 million seed round at a $20 million valuation, led by Unicorn Factory Ventures and P2 Ventures, with participation from GSR, Flowdesk, Pyth, the Aptos Foundation and Keyrock. Its Aptos-based hybrid order book (off-chain CLOB plus on-chain delayed settlement) targets low-latency, deep-liquidity and MEV-resistant perpetual and spot trading.
In 2026, Ekiden launched its mainnet on the Canton Network as the first order-book-based derivatives trading infrastructure there, recording about 1,502 active users, more than 72,000 trades and roughly $8.9 million in volume in its first testnet week, with 12 market makers and 11 integration partners onboarded.
Future strategy and roadmap: Ekiden plans to keep deepening institutional liquidity, expand its market-maker and integration network, complete security audits and mainnet scaling, and broaden its derivatives product range such as perpetual contracts.
Vitali Dervoed — Founder & CEO; previously held roles at Neon EVM, RockawayX and Mango Markets; founded Ekiden in Lisbon in 2025, building institutional derivatives trading with an off-chain order book and deferred on-chain settlement.
Ekiden uses a maker-taker fee model for perpetual futures, tiered by 30-day notional volume, with a base tier (from $0) of 0.0200% maker and 0.0500% taker.
Ekiden offers maker rebates from the $1M tier upward, with the $1M tier at 0.0000% maker and 0.0125% taker, and the top $1B tier at -0.0050% maker rebate and 0.0100% taker.
