Phoenix Trade
Announcements
Phoenix is a fully on-chain perpetual futures exchange built on Solana by Ellipsis Labs, the team whose on-chain orderbook processed more than 75 billion dollars in spot volume since 2023. Unveiled as Phoenix Perpetuals at Breakpoint 2025 by CEO Eugene Chen, it brings the same focus on speed, precision, and verifiable execution to derivatives, while the original spot exchange continues as Phoenix Legacy.
Phoenix introduces a proprietary AMM-style market structure to perps, letting market makers provide and update liquidity cheaply for tighter spreads, deeper books, and better pricing on large trades. The design targets centralized-exchange-level cost, aiming for around 5 basis points of price impact versus the roughly 15 basis points typical of other on-chain venues, with gasless trading for retail and full on-chain verifiability. The platform is non-custodial and crankless, keeping assets in the trader's control with immediate settlement.
About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
