Problem
Investors and traders must use multiple fragmented platforms to access crypto perpetuals, tokenized equities, ETFs, and real‑world assets, often facing limited trading hours, separate fiat banking connections, and inconsistent APIs for automation.
Solution
HotStuff delivers a decentralized finance layer‑1 protocol that consolidates trading, investing, and neobanking into a single margin account.

A low‑latency SDK offers real‑time market streams and unified margin APIs, enabling developers to build trading bots and production‑grade infrastructure without juggling multiple services. The system operates on a high‑throughput blockchain (200k+ TPS, 75 ms block time, 150 ms finality), ensuring fast order execution and settlement.
