Infrastructure
Institutional-grade infrastructure, open to everyone.
Acend is a non-custodial trading infrastructure layer built on Solana. The same matching engine powering professional trading desks is available to any wallet, any developer, any protocol.
Universal Orderbook
A single, unified orderbook across crypto, tokenized equities, and commodities. Every market shares the same matching engine, delivering consistent liquidity depth and price discovery regardless of asset class.
Sub-millisecond Matching
Orders are matched in under 0.5ms at the engine level. Acend's custom matching core is built from the ground up for deterministic latency — no garbage collection pauses, no network hops between components.
On-chain Settlement
Every trade settles on Solana in under one second. You keep custody of your funds at all times — trades are executed non-custodially via your connected wallet, with no counterparty risk introduced by the platform.
Permissionless Markets
Anyone can deploy a market on Acend. The infrastructure is fully permissionless — list any asset, set your own tick sizes and fee tiers, and let the protocol handle the rest.
Architecture
Deterministic FIFO price-time priority matching with configurable tick sizes and lot sizes per market.
Cross-margin and isolated margin modes. Real-time risk calculations run in lockstep with the matching engine.
Solana-native settlement. Finality in under one second. No wrapped assets, no bridges.
Feeds from multiple oracle providers aggregated and validated on-chain. Tamper-resistant price references for all instruments.
WebSocket and REST interfaces with co-location support for latency-sensitive strategies.
