Problem
Over‑the‑counter (OTC) cryptocurrency trades often suffer from information leakage, counterparty mistrust, and settlement uncertainty, which can lead to price slippage, regulatory risk, and reduced liquidity for large participants.
Solution
Ocuros offers a confidential OTC matching platform that enables participants to reveal only their true trade intent while keeping order sizes and counterpart identities private. The system leverages trusted execution environments (TEE) and live multi‑party computation (MPC) to securely match orders without exposing sensitive data. Advanced cryptographic techniques, including homomorphic and post‑quantum encryption, protect the matching process against current and future threats. Settlement is agnostic to asset class, instrument type, or market, allowing spot, perpetual, and futures contracts to be cleared with provable certainty. The platform delivers end‑to‑end confidentiality and deterministic settlement, reducing counterparty risk and improving market efficiency for large‑scale crypto trades.
Target Audience
Primary customers are institutional cryptocurrency traders, OTC desks, and asset managers that require private, high‑value trade execution with guaranteed settlement.
