Overview

Ostium Protocol is a decentralized perpetuals exchange on Arbitrum that gives traders on-chain leveraged exposure to real-world assets without tokenizing them. It uses synthetic perpetual contracts that track prices of assets like gold, oil, copper, and forex via oracle feeds. The platform is non-custodial and permissionless with a pool-based liquidity model where liquidity providers take the other side of trades. The goal is to bridge traditional finance and DeFi by offering a scalable, transparent venue for leveraged RWAs, supported by mainnet deployment and ongoing audits.
