Ostium Labs

Ostium is a decentralized perpetual-futures exchange that lets traders access global real-world-asset markets — stocks, ETFs, commodities, indices, forex and crypto — directly from a self-custodial crypto wallet, with leverage and no broker or intermediary. Built on Arbitrum, the protocol pairs an on-chain OLP vault with an off-chain hedge that settle daily across three core participants. For developers, Ostium ships an official TypeScript Builder SDK (@ostium/builder-sdk) and a Python SDK (ostium-python-sdk) plus a public Builder API for live prices, OHLC candles and WebSocket price/account streaming, backed by a GraphQL subgraph. Client modes span read-only, trader-signed, and backend-controlled delegated / Safe-based gasless execution, with a testnet on Arbitrum Sepolia.

Ostium Labs publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Ostium Builder API. Tagged areas include Company, Perpetual Futures, Decentralized Finance, DeFi, and Trading.
