The software
We build the systems
We build the systems
we operate.
Astrum is a technology firm first: our market-making stack is written in Rust, built in-house, and proven in production on our own capital before it ever touches an engagement.
Pricing Engine
Sub-millisecond quoting against institutional reference feeds. Integer-only money math — no floating-point drift, ever.
- 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.
The market makers who promised volume are gone — indicted, banned or dissolved. We built Astrum to be the alternative that survives 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 / 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
We build and trade on Solana natively: on-chain order books, AMM pools and the venues that matter. If your token lives on Solana, you won't find many MMs who know it deeper.
EVM & major CEXs
Ethereum and major L2s, plus centralized venues from Tier-1 down to the mid-tier exchanges where new tokens actually list first — and where designated MMs are mandatory.
EU-domiciled
Structured for the post-MiCA market. Contracts and controls designed to pass the due diligence of your exchange, your counsel and your investors.
Quant heritage
Astrum is run by the people who write its systems. Proprietary execution, risk and monitoring infrastructure — built trading our own capital first.
