Other participants in the round, including Alameda Research, CMS Holdings, Wintermute, MGNR, PNYX, Kronos, Altonomy, and LedgerPrime, will support liquidity on Bluefin. Highly liquid exchanges attract traders and build network effects. Additionally, Tiantian Kullander from Amber Group will be joining as Advisor to the team. Together we will bridge performance and usability in a way that will take decentralized trading mainstream.
Bluefin is the first DEX for perpetual swaps and options built on Polkadot. Bluefin’s technology stack enables leveraged derivatives trading with on-chain settlement, enabling limitless derivatives markets without custodial and counterparty risks. Its performant off-chain matching engine, coupled with a constant function market maker, creates a hybrid order book plus AMM trading experience with high liquidity and pricing efficiency. Bluefin aims to engineer the trading experience of centralized exchanges while providing the security and transparency of DEXs.
Derivatives are on track to become the largest market in decentralized finance, similar to how they are the largest asset class in traditional finance. Derivatives are an exciting use case of blockchain. Entirely new perpetual swaps for blockchain-based assets within Polkadot’s multi-chain architecture can be added through a simple governance proposal along with derivatives for assets from any asset class.
