The need for a decentralized order book is clear as the centralized exchange (CEX) turmoil continues. Econia Labs leverages Aptos’ architecture to support on-chain matching. We are proud to support Econia’s vision of a transparent and open marketplace.

Econia Labs co-founder and CEO Alex said:

We have built a high-performance payment engine in the open, making it easier to link our innovative price discovery machine with various dApps (decentralized apps).

About Econia Labs

Econia Labs offers an orderbook that serves as a base layer for decentralized finance (DeFi) projects on Aptos.

It achieves optimal capital efficiency with an on-chain matching engine that instantly settles trades where orders are placed. Users can buy and sell assets at their desired price or find the best price in the market.

It is designed to accommodate a wide range of trading, from spot trading to leveraged perpetual futures trading. Econia Labs worked closely with the Aptos core team to develop it.

The Econia protocol is open source and the latest version has already undergone three independent audits and is live on the Aptos testnet.

For dApp developers, integrators can connect Econia’s matching engine to their smart contracts. In the future, it is expected that you will be able to access client libraries and SDKs (software development kits).

What are dApps

An application developed using an open-source blockchain. An abbreviation of “Decentralized Applications”, it is called “decentralized application” in Japanese. The main feature is that there is no centralized administrator. The most popular is the Ethereum blockchain, where apps such as games and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are being developed. .
