**APIs profiled:** 4

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.
