we operate.

Reference-driven pricing with inventory-aware adjustments. Integer-based monetary calculations keep execution precise.
- Real-time multi-venue reference pricing
- Inventory-aware quote skewing
- Per-pair spread & size configuration
Risk Framework
Layered, automated guards: every quote is checked against live balances, exposure caps and pre-trade simulation before it leaves the engine.
- Per-pair exposure limits & kill switches
- Balance-coverage reservation guards
- Pre-trade transaction simulation
Measurement Harness
Decisions by experiment, not opinion: randomized A/B testing in production, a persistent on-chain-reconciled fill ledger, and live telemetry.
- Randomized pricing experiments
- Adverse-selection (markout) analytics
- Grafana telemetry & public track record
Our principles
What we will never do.
Never
- ✕Volume guaranteesPromised volume is manufactured volume. That's wash trading — and it ends careers.
- ✕Price targetsAny MM promising a price is describing manipulation, not market making.
- ✕Ranking gamesNo engineered CoinGecko/CMC metrics. No listing-threshold theatrics.
- ✕Opaque token-loan structuresNo low-strike option deals designed to profit from dumping your token.
Always
- ✓KPIs on spread, depth, uptimeThe only three metrics an honest market maker should be paid on.
- ✓Read-only transparencyDashboard access and daily reports. Verify us, don't trust us.
- ✓Self-match preventionEngineered controls against wash patterns — contractual and technical.
- ✓Full disclosureEvery side agreement on the table. Your lawyers will like us.
Clear terms, observable execution and defined risk limits are the basis of our approach. We built Astrum to stand up to diligence.
How we work
A retainer model with
A retainer model with
aligned incentives.
You keep ownership of your capital. We provide the systems, the quoting and the accountability. No hidden upside on your downside.
01
Scope & term sheet
Pairs, venues, KPI levels, inventory needs. You get a written term sheet up front — including everything we won't do. Typical engagement: 3–12 months, cancellable with notice.
02
Integration & book design
We connect to your venues, model the liquidity architecture around your float and unlock schedule, and agree on spread, depth and uptime commitments per market.
03
Quoting goes live
Two-sided markets, 24/7, algorithmically maintained. Your dashboard goes live the same day our quotes do.
04
Report, review, adjust
Daily metrics, monthly reviews, KPI remedies if we miss. As your token matures, the liquidity strategy matures with it — new venues, deeper books, event coverage around unlocks and listings.
Coverage
Native where it matters.
Solana — first-class
Our live execution runs as a maker on Jupiter RFQ and as an approved 1inch Fusion resolver on Solana, with 1inch Fusion also live on Ethereum and Base. Additional token and venue support is assessed before we commit to a mandate.
Additional venues
CEX and other chain integrations are evaluated against each engagement’s requirements. Planned coverage is not presented as existing live connectivity.
UK-registered
Astrum Liquidity Ltd is registered in England and Wales. Engagement scope, jurisdiction and contractual requirements are reviewed before onboarding.
Quant heritage
Astrum is run by the people who write its systems. Proprietary execution, risk and monitoring infrastructure — built trading our own capital first.
