Ostium has upgraded its backend infrastructure and introduced a new decentralized execution layer following the processing of over $50 billion in cumulative trading volume. According to NS3.AI, the recent rollout includes offchain hedging partners such as Jump, along with other unnamed prime brokers and major institutions, to manage directional exposure from user trades. Ostium stated that this development maintains users' self-custodial status while aiming to expand open interest and enhance execution quality.
