About the desk

A proprietary high-frequency desk trading the fund's own capital: market making on DEX perpetuals and MEV strategies on open venues.

This is not an investment product. We are not raising outside capital for it, we do not provide access to the infrastructure and we do not share performance. The page exists for one reason: if you have an interesting idea for how this desk could connect with what you are building, we want to hear it.

What tight liquidity looks like

Illustrative
BidsAsks

Good market making pulls both sides of the book toward the mid: quotes refresh, depth builds and the spread tightens. A tight spread means cheaper entries and exits for everyone trading the pair.

What the desk does

01
Market making on DEX perpetuals

Two-sided quoting on decentralized perpetual venues: earning spread and rebates while keeping inventory close to neutral, with no directional view.

02
MEV on open venues

Latency- and priority-sensitive opportunities captured on public, permissionless markets.

03
In-house infrastructure

A low-latency execution stack built and operated in-house, the same infrastructure that backs execution for Vega's public strategies.

Open to proposals

We are not selling a service here: the desk exists for our own strategies. But the infrastructure can be useful beyond them, and interesting proposals are welcome. For example:

01
Token liquidity

Market making and orderly books for a token that needs a healthier market.

02
Price stability

Cross-venue arbitrage that keeps a token's price aligned between markets and dampens dislocations.

03
Something we haven't thought of

If you see a way to connect our infrastructure with your project, pitch it. The best proposals are usually the unexpected ones.

Scope, venues and terms are discussed directly with the team.

Get in touch

We do not raise external capital for this strategy, do not sell access to the desk and do not disclose performance. If you have an interesting proposal for how our infrastructure could work with your project, reach out.
