Ostium

Ostium delivers a decentralized trading platform that enables leveraged trading of real-world assets, including stocks, commodities, indices, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrencies, directly on-chain. Users maintain self-custody of their funds; trades, liquidity, and fees are publicly visible on a blockchain, removing reliance on traditional brokers. The platform offers up to 200× leverage and supports both long and short positions across a wide range of asset classes. Ostium uses real-time, low-latency price feeds via oracle systems to provide accurate and timely pricing. In addition, it recently introduced a points program that rewards user trading activity, referrals, and liquidity provision by converting on-platform engagement into a points ledger to track participation.
