Ekiden’s Architecture

Ekiden’s hybrid architecture combines an off-chain engine for ultra-fast trading with on-chain smart contracts for security and transparency. Orders are matched and settled off-chain, then anchored on-chain, blending CeFi speed with DeFi trust.

The entry point for traders—connect your non-custodial Aptos wallet and use either the Ekiden web app or API to submit orders, manage assets, and interact directly with the platform, all while keeping full control over your funds.

The off-chain engine where orders are validated, matched, and managed in real time. Handles liquidations and prepares all order and position data before anchoring it to the blockchain for transparency and auditability.

The on-chain core for trustless settlement. Smart contracts verify off-chain trading activity, update user positions, process deposits/withdrawals, and securely manage assets via modular vaults—all with blockchain transparency.

Ekiden’s architecture as a diagonal three-tier cascade: Client on top, off-chain Infrastructure in the middle and on-chain Smart Contracts at the bottom.

Ekiden’s architecture as a vertical three-tier stack: CLIENT (CLOB app, wallet and Ekiden API) on top, INFRASTRUCTURE (liquidation, matching and preprocessing engines) in the middle, and SMART CONTRACTS (orderbook verifier, vault, clearing house and position registry) at the bottom, linked by numbered flow connectors.
