Ostium Labs Launches Real-Time Decentralized Execution Layer

Ostium Labs said on May 1 that it launched a real-time decentralized execution layer built on the Ostium protocol.

The infrastructure is designed to hedge on-chain trading flows by linking them with institutional participants in traditional financial markets. Jump, along with prime brokers and other major institutions, is participating as a partner.

Ostium said it has recorded more than $50 billion in cumulative trading volume and generated about $35 million in protocol revenue to date. The platform has more than 26,000 users and about 1 million cumulative trades.

Unlike existing decentralized derivatives platforms that typically build their own liquidity for each asset, Ostium uses pricing and liquidity from traditional markets. The company said that structure allows it to apply a pricing framework that reflects relatively deeper liquidity for major assets.

The upgrade also changes the liquidity structure. Previously, a single shared liquidity pool handled both trade settlement and position exposure. Under the new model, a separate capital pool hedges positions off-chain through an institutional network. The shared liquidity pool provides intraday liquidity, while hedging results are settled daily.

Marco Antonio Ribeiro, co-founder and chief technology officer of Ostium Labs, said the company built infrastructure connecting smart contracts with institutional messaging systems to link on-chain trading flows with traditional markets.

Caledora Kiernan-Linn, co-founder and chief executive officer of Ostium Labs, said the goal is to expand access to global asset markets.
