What is Ostium?
Ostium is a decentralized trading platform built on the Arbitrum Layer 2 network, enabling users to engage in leveraged perpetual trading of both digital and real-world assets such as commodities, indices, and foreign exchange. Unlike traditional trading platforms, Ostium offers full self-custody, transparent operations, and permissionless access, ensuring that users retain control over their funds and trading activities. The platform leverages advanced oracle infrastructure, including Chainlink Data Streams, to provide low-latency, secure, and reliable price feeds, facilitating efficient on-chain execution without compromising decentralization.
