Overview

Ekiden uses a smart contract-based margin bank to custody collateral for trading. Users can deposit multiple supported tokens to the margin bank and withdraw available (free) collateral at any time. All deposits and withdrawals are on-chain but occur on the same network as the Ekiden protocol—no cross-chain bridging is required.

​
Supported Tokens

Ekiden supports the following tokens as margin collateral:

USDC, USDC, USDe

Check the /tokens endpoint or documentation for the most current list.
