How does Antarctic work?
Antarctic operates a decentralized order book, matching buy and sell orders placed by traders. Unlike AMMs, this model allows limit orders, stop-losses, and precise price control. Orders may be settled fully on-chain for maximum trustlessness, or via a hybrid system where order matching happens off-chain for speed while settlement remains on-chain for security. This architecture is particularly suited for derivatives and perpetual futures trading.
