CEX speed. Your keys. On-chain settlement.
Mitra is a non-custodial orderbook venue: sub-second matching off-chain, every balance change settled on Aksum Network, your assets in your custody the entire time.
Serious trading needs real market structure
Limit orders, tight spreads, and depth market makers can actually quote into — swap curves can't offer that. Mitra is a real venue: price-time priority, maker/taker structure, and market microstructure institutions recognize.
Fast because it's off-chain. Trusted because it isn't custodial.
Sub-second, HFT-grade
Matching runs off-chain in trusted execution environments — sub-second order handling with front-running resistance, because orders never sit in a public mempool.
Audited before it ships
The engine is a clean-room reimplementation in progress under a documented protocol, and it ships only after independent audit.
Settlement never leaves the chain
Every fill lands on Aksum. Custody stays with the trader from deposit to withdrawal.
Four steps, zero custody
Deposit from any supported chain via Hyperbridge — trustless, no wrapped-asset custodian.
Funds lock to your keys on Aksum. Mitra never takes custody.
Trade on the orderbook — matching off-chain, sub-second.
Every fill settles on-chain. Withdraw anytime with your keys alone.
