Affected by the global COVID-19 epidemic, the strategic cooperation conference originally scheduled to be held in Singapore was not held as scheduled. The multi-party strategic cooperation was finally reached in the form of an electronic contract.

He also said that after the epidemic is over, you must personally experience the unique humanistic and geographical environment and beautiful scenery. It is reported that the five new side chain operation centers have been established in five urban commercial centers and have reached a strategic consensus with well-known local travel companies.
Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. A typical coastal city in Southeast Asia, as the gateway to Sri Lanka, known as the “Oriental Crossroads”, it is Sri Lanka’s largest city and commercial center. The local beautiful coastal scenery, noisy night market casinos, cheerful and wild percussion, religious Faithful religious believers, towering skyscrapers, magnificent temple halls… the romantic and colorful leisure atmosphere has formed the unique urban charm of Colombo.
Cairo, the capital and largest city of Egypt, is also the largest city in Africa and the Arab world. Cairo, a famous city with a history of 5,000 years, is the largest city in North Africa and the Middle East, one of the oldest Islamic cities in the world, and one of the few ancient cities in the world that has suffered the least damage from war. It has experienced many generations of dynasties and governments. Construction and expansion have formed this big city where ancient and modern coexist and reflect each other.
Amsterdam, the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, is known as Venice of the North. Bridge interlaced, canals crisscrossed, charming windmills, intoxicating tulips, legendary artists, mellow cheese, unique architecture is the city’s business card.
Santiago, the capital and largest city of Chile, is located in the central valley of central Chile. It is dry and mild in summer, cool and rainy in winter, and the sparkling Marbojo River flows slowly through the city. The snowy Andes are like a glittering silver crown, with natural mountains and rivers adding a moving charm to Santiago. As a natural tourist city in Chile, Santiago has abundant tourist resources, many museums, galleries and parks, and Saint Lucia Mountain is the best place to watch the whole city.
Copenhagen, the capital, largest city and port of the Kingdom of Denmark, is also the largest city in northern Europe, and is also the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Denmark, the world famous international metropolis. The appearance of Copenhagen is beautiful and tidy, and the new industrial enterprises in the city interact with the ancient buildings of the Middle Ages, which makes it not only a modern city, but also has the characteristics of antique, and is a famous historical and cultural city in the world.
With the development of the world economy, tourism has become an important industry driving economic development, and huge economic benefits have promoted the development of tourism. Tourism is an important strategic, pillar and comprehensive industry with sustained high-speed and stable growth in the world economy. Nowadays, with the in-depth development of economic globalization and world economic integration, the world tourism industry has entered a golden age of rapid development.

Lisbon, Portugal, September 9th, 2026, FinanceWire
Ekiden, the first order book-based derivatives exchange, brings institutional-grade execution, private trading workflows, and on-chain settlement to the Canton ecosystem.
The launch adds a professional execution layer to Canton’s growing financial ecosystem, enabling market participants to trade and settle derivatives on-chain using infrastructure designed around the requirements of institutional markets.
Ekiden is built for professional trading firms, market makers, funds, banks, and institutional trading desks that require execution workflows closer to traditional capital markets than to retail-focused decentralized finance venues.
The platform combines a central limit order book, or CLOB, with request-for-quote execution, PropAMM integration, a professional trading terminal, and API connectivity for market makers, algorithmic trading platforms, aggregators, exchanges, and funds.
Ekiden also provides a streamlined entry point into the Canton ecosystem, allowing professional market participants to onboard, connect through its API, and begin trading without having to build their own Canton-native infrastructure.
Canton Network provides a privacy-enabled and interoperable environment for regulated financial markets, allowing institutions to coordinate transactions without making commercially sensitive information publicly visible. Ekiden extends that environment into derivatives trading by bringing execution, liquidity, and settlement together within a single venue.
“Ekiden’s mainnet is a notable addition to Canton’s application layer, bringing order book execution, privacy, and settlement into a single venue designed for professional trading,” said Viv Diwakar, Head of the Canton Foundation. “Launches like this act as a catalyst as the network broadens its offerings in on-chain derivatives, and we look forward to seeing a range of venues and participants contribute to that growth over time.”
According to a 2026 Coinbase and EY survey, 73% of institutional decision-makers plan to increase their digital asset allocations. Supporting this growth requires reliable execution, liquidity, price discovery, privacy, and infrastructure capable of handling institutional order flow.
“Tokenization alone does not create institutional markets,” said Vitali Dervoed, founder and CEO of Ekiden. “For tokenized assets to trade at scale, institutions need execution quality, liquidity, privacy, and workflows that reflect how professional trading actually works. Canton provides the institutional environment. We add the trading infrastructure layer for on-chain derivatives.”
Existing on-chain trading venues have largely developed around retail participation, passive liquidity pools, and public execution environments. Professional trading firms have different requirements, including deterministic execution, low-latency API access, configurable privacy, and the ability to manage positions and capital movements without exposing commercially sensitive information to the wider market.
Ekiden’s architecture is intended to address these requirements while preserving the operational benefits of on-chain settlement. The platform allows the lifecycle of a derivatives transaction from price discovery and execution through to settlement to take place within Canton’s privacy-enabled environment.
During its first week on the Canton testnet, Ekiden recorded 1,502 active users, more than 72,000 trades, and approximately $8.9 million in trading volume. The company is working with 11 integration partners and has integrated 12 market makers ahead of its expansion on mainnet.
Initial liquidity is supported by market makers, including Keyrock, Kappa Lab, and Flowdesk. Ekiden plans to add further liquidity providers, onboard more institutional participants, and expand the range of derivatives available through the platform.
In May 2026, Ekiden raised $2 million in seed financing to develop institutional-grade infrastructure for on-chain derivatives. The round included investors and strategic participants connected to GSR, Flowdesk, Pyth, Aptos, G20, DCF God, Curiosity Capital, and Keyrock.
The mainnet launch strengthens Canton Network’s position as infrastructure for institutional digital markets by adding a dedicated venue for derivatives execution and settlement. It also broadens the range of financial activity that can take place across the network while maintaining the privacy and workflow controls required by professional market participants.
About Ekiden
Ekiden operates an institutional derivatives exchange on Canton Network, combining central limit order book and request-for-quote execution with on-chain settlement, privacy controls, and institutional custody workflows. The platform is live and open to proprietary trading firms, funds, market makers, and bank trading desks.
