Ostrich

Ostrich is transforming how the world accesses financial markets by merging the composability of DeFi with real-world asset exposure. Traditional brokers and trading platforms often come with regional restrictions, KYC requirements, and custodial models that compromise user control. Ostrich removes these barriers by offering onchain perpetual contracts for international equities, forex pairs, metals, and more—all collateralized by USDC and priced via tamper-proof oracles.

The platform supports trading on markets like US tech stocks, China blue chips, European equities, gold, silver, and crypto assets. All trades are settled through a PFOF engine, where execution partners like CEXs and MMs route orders efficiently, offering users zero slippage from internal liquidity and potentially tighter spreads. Users maintain custody of their assets while enjoying capital-efficient trading with leverage and no platform fees.

Ostrich stands out from traditional DEXs like dYdX, Perpetual Protocol, or Gains Network by not operating liquidity pools or internal books. Instead, it focuses on routing, execution quality, and analytics—closer to TradFi platforms like Robinhood and Wealthsimple but fully decentralized. This hybrid approach leverages crypto’s composability while maintaining trading efficiency.

The platform's roadmap includes a wide range of features: TP/SL automation, mobile apps, advanced routing algorithms, developer SDKs, and user incentive programs. With an expanding asset base and real-time analytics dashboards, Ostrich is building the foundational infrastructure for a unified, permissionless, and globally accessible onchain exchange—aligning user incentives with execution transparency and market fairness.

Ostrich provides numerous benefits and features that make it a standout platform in the onchain real-world asset trading space:

• Global Market Access: Trade US, China, UK, and German equities, commodities, metals, forex, and crypto with no geographic restrictions.
