Overview
What Is Ekiden?
Ekiden is a decentralized derivatives exchange for on-chain perpetual futures trading. It runs a hybrid model that pairs an off-chain Central Limit Orderbook (CLOB) with deferred on-chain settlement, so traders get centralized-exchange speed but keep custody of their assets and a transparent settlement record.
In May 2026, Ekiden raised $2 million in a seed round at a roughly $20 million valuation, led by Unicorn Factory Ventures and P2 Ventures. The round drew GSR, Flowdesk, Pyth, Aptos, Monolith, Hardcore Labs, Moonhill Capital, and Curiosity Capital, with Keyrock joining as a strategic partner.
