What is Monaco?

Monaco is a high-performance trading platform for spot and perpetual markets, with prediction markets incoming, built using a simple and robust API stack. Trading is powered by Monaco’s low-latency institutional-grade order book, where SDKs and APIs provide everything needed for anyone to access trading infrastructure: builders, traders, and agents.

​
Why Monaco?

For builders looking to bootstrap liquidity without the overhead of designing, maintaining, and improving a sophisticated risk and matching engine, Monaco is a full-stack solution. For traders looking to access global markets with highly competitive fees, rebates, and capital efficiency, Monaco offers a sophisticated trading experience.
  • Real Revenue to Users: maker rebates for both retail and institutional participants at all volume levels, with BuilderCodes for any integrated frontend, and TraderCodes for multi-layer referrals.
  • Mature Market Design: price-time priority alongside prioritized cancels, low-latency matching, and simplified funding rates in a shared liquidity layer.
  • Robust Risk Management: margin accounts can start with cross-margin, but will support correlation and scenario-based portfolio margin to allow netting benefits for offsetting correlated positions.
  • Open Integration: REST, WebSocket, gRPC, TypeScript, React, Rust, generated clients, and MCP tooling allow traders, application builders, market makers, and AI agents to use unified market infrastructure.
