Ekiden is an order book-based derivatives exchange, so every trade starts with liquidity already sitting on the book or an order coming in to take it.
If your order rests on the book and adds liquidity, you’re the maker.
If your order matches against existing liquidity and executes immediately, you’re the taker.
From there, the flow is straightforward:
Order → Matching Engine → Execution → Settlement on Canton
The matching engine handles price-time priority and execution. Once matched, the resulting trade is settled through Canton’s infrastructure.
That distinction matters because maker and taker orders interact with liquidity differently, affect execution differently, and carry different fees.
Understanding that flow is one of the basics of trading efficiently on Ekiden.

This chart is insane. This shows Russia's casualties over time compared to Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine over the last five years.
No sane or rational person would say continuing the war to try and take more of Ukraine's territory is worth the casualties.

This is how it’s done! ✊ Howard Buffet, who is the son of the Omaha Oracle Billionaire Warren Buffet, has just donated $1.4 billion to Ukraine.🇺🇦
Ekiden is fully operational again.
The upgrade is complete, all exchange functions are available, and trading has resumed.
Ekiden is now running on new infrastructure, and early performance is already exceeding our expectations.
Faster execution, stronger infrastructure, and a better foundation for what comes next.
Have a good weekend. We’ll keep building.

Bill Clinton: “I’m tired of the way we treat our allies like dirt. And just last week, President Trump finally did what he threatened to do when he first ran, which is to abandon Ukraine and embrace Vladimir Putin all over again.”
I hope the American people are also tired of it

die AfD ist die transparenteste Partei Deutschlands, man denkt von außen „ah ein Haufen durchgedrehter korrupter Faschos“ und immer wenn Internas geleakt werden, stellt sich heraus, dass es sich tatsächlich um einen Haufen durchgedrehter korrupter Faschos handelt

I highly recommend cloudflare's security audit skill: github.com/cloudflare/securi…
Run it on all your software. Run it with the free models. Use it even if you used a model to audit something - it will find much more things. Works in all agent harnesses and is model independent.
