MatchBox — Turnkey high-availability order matching for small trading firms
A managed, fault-tolerant order-matching engine that small prop shops, crypto exchanges, and broker-dealers can plug in via API — no distributed-systems team required.
Small prop trading firms and crypto venues without a dedicated infrastructure team
- API-first matching engine with built-in Raft-based consensus for zero-downtime failover
- Pre-built connectors to common liquidity venues and clearing rails
- Drop-in deployment with leader election that survives an entire trading day
- Compliance-ready audit log and order replay for every matched trade
