<aside> 💡 Ostium is a synthetic asset protocol enabling on-chain commodity exposure for institutional and retail traders and hedgers. Commodities serve both as an inflation hedge and asset class diversifier, yet no commodity-focused on-chain protocol currently exists. Further, high capital requirements, slippage, and fees on commodity futures, as well as limited availability of ETFs and trading restrictions on exchanges like the CME, pose a significant barrier to entry for non-institutional investors in the traditional markets. Ostium provides a solution to these problems. We leverage Solana’s speed and ultra-low fees for seamless trading, enabling exposure to previously inaccessible markets.
