CEX speed.
Your keys.
On-chain settlement.
Mitrio 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. Here's the venue landscape, honestly drawn.

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 goes live only after independent third-party audit. Settlement correctness is verified, not promised.
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. Mitrio never takes custody.
Trade on the orderbook - matching off-chain, sub-second.
Every fill settles on-chain. Withdraw anytime with your keys alone.

Asked often, answered plainly
If matching is off-chain, how is this non-custodial?
Matching decides who trades with whom; custody is about who holds the assets. Your funds are locked to your keys on Aksum before, during, and after every trade - the engine orders the queue, the chain moves the money. Mitrio never holds a balance for you.
What stops front-running?
Orders go to the engine inside trusted execution environments - they never sit in a public mempool where bots can see and jump them. Priority is price-time, not gas auctions.
What happens if the company behind it disappears?
Your assets are on Aksum, locked to your keys - withdrawable with your wallet alone. That's the point of settling on a sovereign chain no single entity controls.
When can I trade for real?
Mainnet is November 2026. Until then the full flow - deposits, orders, settlement, withdrawals - runs with test assets on Varuna.
Which assets at launch?
Spot markets at mainnet, seeded by professional market makers; cross-chain deposits arrive via Hyperbridge. The launch market list is published closer to mainnet.
