What is Rocky?

Rocky is the trading and liquidity layer for Canton.

The initial product combines:

• Privacy-enabled perpetual markets for leveraged long and short exposure.

• Canton-native spot markets for direct asset exchange.

• Multi-wallet access through Rocky Wallet, Loop Wallet, Console Wallet, and Send Wallet.

• Canton-native settlement workflows designed around selective visibility and atomic execution.

Perpetuals and spot trading are the starting point, not the final destination. Rocky's long-term objective is to connect trading, stablecoin liquidity, tokenized real-world assets, and capital-management products through a unified liquidity layer on Canton.

Why Rocky

Most on-chain trading venues operate on globally transparent networks. That model can expose account activity, liquidation risk, large trading intentions, and institutional workflows to the entire network.

Canton uses a different architecture. Its selective-visibility model allows information to be shared with the parties that need it without broadcasting every transaction detail globally. This gives Rocky a foundation for building markets that combine:

• Privacy-aware settlement - account and settlement data do not need to be visible to every network participant.

• Institutional-grade workflows - Canton is designed for regulated assets and multi-party financial applications.

• Atomic execution - linked actions can settle together, reducing settlement and counterparty risk.

• Wallet-based access - users sign in through supported Canton wallets and use those wallets to authorize deposits and withdrawals.

• Interoperability across Canton - assets and applications can participate in coordinated workflows while preserving appropriate visibility.

Rocky's role in the Canton ecosystem

Rocky is not positioned as only another perpetual DEX. Its broader role is to help turn assets issued on Canton into assets that can be traded, priced, hedged, and deployed productively.

The long-term path is:

1. Establish active perpetual and spot markets.

2. Expand stablecoin access and liquidity.

3. Develop RWA trading and institutional execution workflows.

4. Introduce capital-management and wealth products.

5. Build price-discovery, data, and liquidity infrastructure for the wider Canton ecosystem.
