Orderly Preview Orderly is trading infrastructure for teams that want to launch their own trading experience on top of shared liquidity. Instead of building a matching engine, liquidity network, and settlement stack from scratch, builders integrate Orderly’s APIs, SDKs, and smart contracts to launch their own product. Orderly is not a consumer-facing exchange. It is a headless trading backend that sits underneath partner applications and powers account, trading, market data, and settlement flows for those applications’ users. The core model is simple: your team owns the frontend, branding, and user relationship, while Orderly provides the trading infrastructure underneath.

​
Who Orderly Is For

  • DEX builders and trading apps: Launch a branded perps experience on top of shared liquidity instead of operating a standalone venue.
  • Wallets, custodians, and partner platforms: Add trading functionality to an existing product without building the backend trading stack yourself.
  • Trading teams and API integrators: Connect programmatically to trading, account, and market-data interfaces while using the same infrastructure as partner frontends.

​
Why Teams Build On Orderly

  • Shared liquidity from day one: Builders connect to a common orderbook instead of trying to bootstrap isolated liquidity market by market.
  • CEX-like performance with on-chain settlement: Orderly combines low-latency trading infrastructure with documented deposit, withdrawal, and settlement rails.
  • Flexible integration paths: Teams can build with APIs, SDKs, UI components, or Orderly One depending on how much control they need.
  • Builder-owned product experience: Builders control the user-facing product, fee strategy, and go-to-market approach.

​
What Orderly Provides

Orderly’s primary product is omnichain trading infrastructure for perpetual futures. In practical terms, that includes:
  • shared liquidity and orderbook access
  • account, order, and market data APIs
  • smart contract rails for deposit, withdrawal, and settlement
  • builder-facing controls for fees, referrals, and operational workflows

​
How To Build On Orderly

Different teams need different levels of control. Builders can choose between:
  • Direct API access: Build your own backend and frontend against Orderly’s REST and WebSocket interfaces.
  • SDKs and connectors: Use the React SDK, Hooks SDK, or Python connector to accelerate implementation.
  • Orderly One: Launch with a lower-code path when you want a faster route to market. See Builder Guidelines for the code of conduct and branding standards.
Orderly also has adjacent product areas, such as Strategy Vault, but those sit alongside the core builder integration path rather than replacing it.
