On-chain perpetuals, traded directly from your wallet.
Rocky is a decentralized derivatives exchange purpose-built for traders who want CEX-grade execution without giving up custody of their assets. We offer perpetual futures on BTC, ETH, and a curated set of major crypto assets with up to 50x leverage, settled transparently on-chain and accessible from any EVM-compatible wallet.
- Perpetuals DEX — Deep liquidity, low-latency matching, and a trading UX that feels like a professional CEX terminal.
- Self-custody by default — Your keys, your positions. No deposits to a centralized operator.
- Cross-chain access — Powered by LayerZero and Stargate, traders can fund positions from multiple networks without bridging friction.
- Open infrastructure — Public interfaces, transparent contracts, and tooling we are proud to put under an open license.
We treat the exchange as critical financial infrastructure. That shapes how we work:
- Correctness over cleverness. Strict TypeScript, exhaustive testing, and a zero-tolerance policy for silent failure paths in trading-critical code.
- Performance is a feature. Order book updates, price feeds, and PnL calculations are budgeted in milliseconds, not seconds.
- Security first, always. Every contract change is reviewed, every dependency is pinned, every release is reproducible.
- Build in the open. We document our decisions, publish our interfaces, and welcome scrutiny from the community.
Rocky is built by a globally distributed team of engineers, quants, and designers with backgrounds spanning top-tier centralized exchanges, DeFi protocols, and traditional derivatives desks. We work across time zones, ship in English, and share a single conviction:
The next generation of derivatives venues will be on-chain — and they need to be as good as the best venues that came before them.

Rocky is in active development. Nothing in this organization constitutes financial advice. Trading perpetual futures involves substantial risk; only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
