Self-hosted trading infrastructure

Latency-first crypto infrastructure you own end-to-end.

Chronix unifies metal-grade performance, venue connectivity, simulation, execution, and AI-native operations — self-hosted for teams with institutional standards.

Self-hosted control

Built for teams who care about microseconds, deterministic behavior, and operational control — on bare metal or lean VMs.

Platform map

Everything you need to run a serious crypto trading operation.

Modular where you want flexibility. Coherent where you cannot afford glue. Each module ships with operational opinion — not a bag of repos.

Flagship surface

Metal & OS tuning

Core pinning, interrupt steering, NIC locality — scripts and guardrails for serious hosts.

Market data adapters

Low-latency capture across major crypto venues with byte-first parsers.

Trading adapters

Unified execution façade with fast order entry and operational logging.

Backtest + StraDeK

Tick and vector engines with concise strategy development baked in.

MCP-native stack

Plug in your agents for setup, validation, and iterative strategy work.

Agentic GUI toolkit

MCP-driven layout generation: bespoke ladders, books, and charts from operator intent, persisted for the WASM desk shell (in development).

Risk monitoring core

High-throughput telemetry into the databases your compliance narrative requires.

Materials & compute

Silicon, glass, and the ground beneath your cage.

Ultra-low-latency work is physical before it is statistical — thermals, photons through fiber, and the noise floor of the machines you colocate. We keep the stack honest about that reality while still giving you crisp abstractions.

System chapters

Six production-grade planes — numbered like the engineering notebook they came from.

Alternating compositions keep long-form reading tolerable: copy breathes, photography anchors, figures carry evidence without shouting.

Metal-ready runtime

Kernel-to-socket discipline for predictable latency

1.1 OS tuning playbooks for NUMA-aware cores, IRQ affinity, and NIC locality on high-end bare metal.
1.2 Lean VM profiles when you need portability without surrendering the Rust-hot paths.
1.3 Multi-NIC topologies for segmented capture, execution, and control lanes.

Market data plane

Ultra-low-latency adapters for the venues that matter

2.1 Top-tier venue coverage including Binance, Bybit, OKX, Gate, Kraken, Coinbase, and many more.
2.2 Purpose-built parsers aimed at lean collection, cross-venue sequencing, and arbitrage-grade freshness.
2.3 Uniform internal representations so downstream systems stay simple even when venues are not.

Execution fabric

Trading adapters optimized for decisive order entry

3.1 Shared contract across venues for staging, amendment, and cancel choreography.
3.2 Fast paths tested under production-style contention, not demo harnesses.
3.3 Design cues borrowed from institutional desk workflows—clarity under pressure.

FIG — Execution desk readiness — modular surfaces and fast lanes

Research & replay

Backtests that keep up with how you actually trade

4.1 Tick-accurate replays when path dependence matters; vector modes when scale matters.
4.2 Tight coupling between simulation artifacts and production tracing for faster validation.
4.3 StraDeK: concise strategy authoring that stays native to the rest of the Chronix stack.

AI-native control

MCP-first operations for serious engineering teams

5.1 Model Context Protocol integrations so your agents work the stack the same way engineers do.
5.2 On-prem and private-cloud LLM options when prompts must never leave your boundary.
5.3 MCP GUI composer (preview): describe a workflow in natural language—e.g. a spread with DOM per leg, synthetic spread DOM, and a spread chart—and the stack materializes a tailored page in the backend, then registers it in the pages collection inside the WASM/C++ shell. Work in progress, not production-ready.

FIG — Agent fabric — bring your own models, keep your perimeter

Risk backbone

Monitoring that survives real throughput

6.1 Flexible backends across high-performance databases for the telemetry your CIO actually reads.
6.2 Continuous reconciliation between intent (risk limits) and reality (live Greeks, exposures, fat-finger guards).
6.3 Signals built for both automated halts and human war rooms.

FIG — Risk plane — hot state, cold storage, unified interrogation

Choose your institution

Different desks. Same demand for discipline.

Pick the lane that matches your mandate — every Chronix engagement starts with a technical briefing, not a coupon code.

Segment

For PMs who live in microstructure, not slide decks

Constraint: Research-to-production gaps, fragile glue code, and feeds that lie politely under load.

Chronix answer: A coherent metal-to-market stack: reproducible sims, honest capture, and execution paths that behave the same in London, Tokyo, or your colo cage.

AI / MCP

Bring the LLM upside without surrendering your perimeter.

Chronix treats agents as operators: they inherit the same contracts as your human engineers, gated by the MCP toolchain you approve.

Model Context Protocol servers expose setup manifests, health probes, simulation harnesses, and guarded execution envelopes. Your models stay inside policy; your strategies stay reproducible.

Private LLM deployments — cloud or cage — reuse the same interfaces, so swapping providers never breaks the operator experience.

STRADEK / MCP sketch

// StraDeK strategy slice (illustrative)
StraDeK.define("basis_guard_v3", (ctx) => {
  ctx.mcp.requireTool("chronix.risk.limits");
  ctx.mcp.requireTool("chronix.backtest.launch");

  const run = ctx.backtest.vector({
    universe: ctx.universe.top_liquid(48),
    horizon: "2024-09-01..2025-02-01",
  });

  return run.assert(ctx.risk.limits); // halts propagate to desk + agents
});

Professional services

White-glove execution for teams who prefer outcomes to invoices.

We embed with your stack owners — SREs, quant engineers, and desk leads — to migrate, tune, and harden what you run in production.

Latency audits, venue onboarding, migration from ad-hoc glue, dedicated coverage windows, and private LLM hardening — scoped like an internal platform program.

Engagement

You are not buying a dashboard. You are buying control.

If your team treats microseconds, data residency, and reproducibility as first-class requirements, Chronix is the specialist stack.
