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.

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/rho-protocol: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
