LayerZero just launched its own Exchange model @LayerZero_Core deploys ATLAS (Aggregated Trading Liquidity and Settlement), an “unhosted” exchange model that unifies matching, clearing, and risk management into one cohesive system. Built on Zero Chain technology, LayerZero’s ATLAS protocol is designed from the start to handle 200,000 transactions per second with sub-millisecond latency. It targets the $4.7 quadrillion securities settlements market currently served by legacy titans such as DTCC. ATLAS is available as both the Open and Institutional ATLAS variants and enables global markets to provide 24/7 markets in RWA, FX, and derivatives while retaining verifiable self-custody.

The world’s markets are undergoing a once in a generation transition. We’ve spent the last year building ATLAS (Aggregated Trading Liquidity and Settlement), a first-of-its kind, headless exchange designed for the future of global markets. It combines the performance and fairness of a traditional exchange with the verifiability and self-custody of a decentralized exchange. The best of a CEX meets the best of a DEX. ATLAS has been built alongside the world’s leading financial institutions and is designed to deliver fair, performant markets around the globe. It delivers deep, global liquidity for both open and institutional trading venues.
