Relay service

The protocol is free. Running it well is the business.

A relay is pure infrastructure: it holds no funds, runs no matching engine, has no identity of its own, and never trades. A free public relay sets the floor. Above it, relays compete on the qualities a serious trader pays for — and that is what we operate.

Running today

Relays specialized for kind-32121: low-latency connections, deep caching, fast book reconstruction. We run them so a wallet, desk or exchange need not become infrastructure to reach the book.

Why a relay stays honest

It earns by carrying orders, not by deciding who wins a trade. Censor or stall and you are routed around — an order published to many relays survives any one dropping it.

Gated venues roadmap
Authenticated relays gating the book by allow-list, web-of-trust threshold, or subscription, carrying encrypted order content they cannot read. One protocol spans a lit book, a web-of-trust room, and a dark pool.
Reputation services roadmap
Swap-completion and verified-identity attestations, surfaced in the book. Neutrality is unaffected: a better-curated relay still only carries orders.
Second settlement chain roadmap
One adapter per chain, identity and reputation shared across both. The market layer lies horizontally across a vertical stack of settlement chains.
