# Rubin

> Rubin is a self-custody decentralized exchange (DEX) for trading crypto perpetual futures and spot markets. Orders and balances settle on-chain through a transparent, high-performance order book, so users keep full control of their funds while accessing deep liquidity, low fees, advanced order types, and a complete trading API.

Rubin serves four audiences: individual traders, professional market makers, broker partners, and platform integrators. It combines the self-custody and transparency of on-chain settlement with the speed and order-book depth expected from a professional derivatives venue. Onboarding takes seconds — connect an existing crypto wallet, or create a secure wallet with email or social login.

Key facts:
- Product: decentralized perpetual futures + spot trading
- Custody: non-custodial / self-custody; users trade from a wallet they control
- Markets: crypto perpetual futures on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, SUI, and HYPE; new markets are added through on-chain governance
- Order types: limit, market, stop-loss, take-profit, and conditional orders; cross-margin
- Sign-in: connect an EVM wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Coinbase Wallet) and authorize with a single wallet signature, or create a wallet with email or social login
- Accounts: an EVM wallet is the account identity — the 0x address you already own is the account, and the chain address (rit1...) is the same 20 bytes shown in another format
- Access: web app, mobile app, REST/WebSocket API, API keys, and an MCP server for AI-agent trading
- Automation: mint an API key to let a bot, script, or AI agent trade the account; API keys can place and cancel orders but can never withdraw funds
- Earning: trading rewards, staking, an automated yield vault, and an affiliate/referral program
- Partners: builder fees and embeddable trading for brokers and integrators
- Build your own exchange: Code Builder (code.rubin.trade) — an embeddable trading widget, a trading SDK, and an MCP server, published to your own domain
- Transparency: a public block explorer for blocks, transactions, validators, and staking
