What is Rocky?

Rocky (Rocky Exchange) is an institutional-grade decentralized perpetual exchange natively built for the Canton Network. Developed by NGC Ventures, the platform combines the execution speed of modern derivatives engines with the privacy and security of distributed ledger technology. By leveraging Canton’s sub-transaction privacy, the exchange protects institutional strategy flow, eliminating public mempool front-running, MEV exploitation, and unwanted order exposure.

Designed to handle high-volume trading, the ecosystem provides institutional market makers and algorithmic traders with high-throughput API connectivity and deterministic settlement. Traders retain direct self-custodial control over their collateral until trades are finalized on-ledger. Functioning as a key featured app, Rocky bridges institutional risk parameters with the flexibility of decentralized perpetual trading.
