Synbit uses synthetic assets to build a more comprehensive income market and volatility structure to boost the development of DeFi
With the momentum of liquidity mining getting stronger and stronger, DeFi is transforming traditional financial products into protocols at a hundred times faster. Decentralized trading platforms, stablecoins, decentralized lending and borrowing platforms, synthetic assets, and insurance products will all be decentralized, trustless and transparent in the decentralized network protocols. We believe that compared with traditional finance, DeFi has a more ambitious vision, that is to allow anyone to publicly own or trade any financial assets anywhere in the world.
Because DeFi lacks some basic products and services, it is still incomplete in the construction of a “decentralized financial market (DeFi market)” and needs the support of structured financial tools.
We find that in the traditional financial market, a large number of monetary asset collaterals, including short-term debt collaterals, long-term debt collaterals based on sovereign credit, and quasi-currency created based on repurchase or asset securitization, constitute large-scale financial derivative instruments and form a systematic financial market, playing an important role in risk management, asset pricing, and improving market liquidity. DeFi also requires durable and stable assets and liquidity. Currently, the basic assets supporting liquidity mining can be roughly divided into three categories: Transaction fees, income from loan interest rate spreads, and guaranteed governance tokens. When basic asset income (or “productivity”) is insufficient to sustain the credit boom, a risk similar to the traditional “financial crisis” will appear.
Synbit is committed to building a more comprehensive income market and volatility structure. In the mapping process of traditional financial market products, it has broken through the construction of comprehensive decentralized financial derivatives, laying a rich and solid asset foundation for the development of the DeFi industry. In the setting of collaterals, Synbit supports multiple pledge methods, such as ETH, stablecoins, and SYN. The mortgage rate of each asset is calculated through modeling based on the stability of its price. In the future, the calculation model and its mortgage rate can be adjusted through the community governance mechanism. Users can mortgage the synthetic assets issued or directly exchange with other types of synthetic assets by purchasing synthetic assets. Synbit’s excess mortgage mechanism and unique liquidation mechanism ensure the safety of all debts. The collaterals can perfectly cover the debts, which means that the systemic risks mentioned above are unlikely to occur in Synbit. In order to attract users to participate in the Synbit ecosystem and ensure the smooth launch and sustainable development of the Synbit platform, the platform has formulated targeted incentive plans for ecological participants such as mortgagers, traders, and coin holders. In addition, Synbit adopts a unique debt pool model, traders do not need counterparties when trading, which effectively solves the liquidity and slippage problems faced by DEX (decentralized exchange). The multi-pledge, multi-form, and multi-reward setting can provide liquidity for Synbit’s continuous transfer of assets.
Of course, Synbit is more than that. We hope to fully map the traditional financial market and build a complete “decentralized financial market (DeFi market)”. From swaps to futures and options, interest rates, stocks, foreign exchange, commodities and other asset products are widely used on the chain to meet the needs of position risk balance, liquidity, hedging, leverage, and other investment portfolio and liquidity managements, create long-term value, and exploit the huge potential of the decentralized derivatives market. It will be the most promising part, the core of the entire DeFi ecosystem, and the most difficult part to accomplish and overcome in the DeFi industry.
We have overcome some of the problems-breaking the isolation of the DeFi protocol, and creating a financial product with rich risk-return characteristics – Synbit by making full use of the composability of DeFi. We will continue to explore the depth and breadth of products, redefine the nature of asset management, and meet the needs of professional investment consulting and services. Achieve our grand vision, which is to “combine everything and cross the financial boundary”.
Synbit will release a beta version on the Ethereum Kovan network on December 11. Synbit is a decentralized synthetic asset issuance protocol based on Ethereum smart contracts, allowing users to mint assets and trade financial derivatives in a decentralized manner. Every user who participates in the test and provides feedback will get a certain token incentive. Welcome to join the Synbit community to participate in the test. Specific test-related contents and test incentives will be released on the official Twitter and Discord channel later.

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.
