How we work

Trading first, open source second.

We’re a proprietary trading firm first. We build whatever we need to trade: open sourcing it is an afterthought.

Our mission

Infrastructure parity, not profit parity.

To maximize trading profits for our shareholders, while giving independent traders the opportunity to do so as well.

The team

Barcelona, small team.

We’re a small, young team based in Barcelona. We were too young during the crypto boom, but are making up for it now. We have a mix of backgrounds, including engineering and finance.
