Ostium Labs Sees $387M in 24H Volume

Ostium Labs has just crossed $387 million in 24-hour trading volume, with metals accounting for $135 million of that total. As a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Ethereum Layer 2 Arbitrum, Ostium enables on-chain perpetual trading of real-world assets (RWAs) like gold, silver, oil, and many more commodities, as well as blue-chip cryptocurrencies and forex. Its core feature is offering synthetic perpetual contracts, allowing users to trade leveraged exposure on a wide range of assets directly from their wallets, fully on-chain.

The protocol operates through a unique shared liquidity pool with dual vaults and pool-based risk balancing, ensuring liquid markets and efficient execution. Ostium’s hybrid oracle system, integrating Chainlink and Stork Network feeds, ensures accurate pricing for fast settlement of trade positions. Traders can earn rewards via the Ostium Points Program, with real-time data transparency and no off-chain custody.

Ostium Labs is open-sourced and permissionless, and its deployment on Arbitrum (an Ethereum rollup) gives it fast, scalable, and cheap settlement, making it ideal for high-frequency trading of commodities and synthetic derivatives. The rapid rise in metals trading volume shows increasing demand for decentralized exposure to commodities on blockchain.
