Rho Protocol

Rho Protocol (Rho Labs) operates Rho X, a decentralized multi-asset trading and settlement layer for on-chain capital markets — interest-rate futures, perpetuals, and tokenized real-world assets tradable from a single cross-margined account. It offers off-exchange collateral custody (BitGo OES or self-custody), zero-gas settlement, and a private cross-chain RFQ swap service (Rho Relay) bridging Ethereum and Canton Network assets. Rho X exposes a REST API, a WebSocket streaming API, an npm SDK, and an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for programmatic trading, market data, and account management. Backed by Speedinvest.

Rho Protocol publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Market Data API, Stats API, Trading API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Trading, DeFi, Derivatives, and Capital Markets.

The Rho Protocol catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Rho Protocol’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, support, and 21 more developer resources.
