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.

The Ostium Labs catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Ostium Labs’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, pricing, and 27 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/ostium-labs: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
