The exchange core that has to stay up when the market does not.

Matching engines, custody, and settlement for centralised venues.

The problem

An exchange is judged in its worst moments: a liquidation cascade, a listing surge, a withdrawal rush. A matching engine that stutters, a custody design with a single point of failure, or a settlement pipeline that backs up under load is not a degraded experience. It is a loss of customer trust and, often, customer funds.

Building a centralised exchange means engineering for the tail: the throughput spike, the chain reorg, the partial outage. Most teams build for the average day and discover the rest in production.

Our approach

We build exchange cores as high-assurance trading systems. The matching engine is deterministic, replayable, and load-tested to multiples of expected peak. Custody is segregated with policy-enforced signing and clear hot/warm/cold tiers. Deposit and withdrawal processing is reorg-aware across every supported chain.

Everything is instrumented so your operations team sees pressure building before it becomes an incident, and proof-of-reserves is built in so you can demonstrate solvency on demand.

Scope of engagement

We build centralised and hybrid exchange infrastructure: deterministic matching engines for spot and derivatives, risk and liquidation engines, multi-chain deposit/withdrawal processing, segregated custody with policy signing, market-data feeds, and proof-of-reserves attestation. We deliver the components an exchange cannot afford to get wrong.

FAQ

Common questions

Still unsure? A senior engineer will answer the specifics on a short scoping call.

Ask us directly

Yes. We integrate with leading MPC and HSM-based custody providers as well as building bespoke signing infrastructure. We will recommend the model that matches your regulatory posture, asset mix, and operational maturity.

We load-test to multiples of your expected peak using realistic order-flow replays, measure latency at every percentile, and validate behaviour under degraded conditions — partial outages, chain reorgs, and burst traffic — before launch.
