Ostium completes backend upgrade and introduces institutional liquidity providers such as Jump

According to The Block, the on chain perpetual contract exchange Ostium has completed a backend infrastructure upgrade, adding a real-time decentralized execution layer and combining on chain liquidity pools with off chain hedging. The platform introduces institutional liquidity providers, including Jump, responsible for managing net directional risk in trading. Previously, Ostium relied on public liquidity pools to undertake pricing and risk absorption, limiting its scale and opening volume. After the upgrade, users can obtain liquidity support from off chain institutions while maintaining self hosting.
