Arbital Labs is a software development team for market makers, exchanges, and trading firms - we build execution systems, exchange infrastructure, connectivity, and data tooling across crypto and traditional markets.
Four areas, one standard: software that stays up while markets move. We design, build, and operate systems where latency, correctness, and uptime are the requirements - not afterthoughts.
Automated trading systems built for speed, control, and safe failure modes.
Core venue systems engineered for throughput, determinism, and auditability.
Reliable connectivity to any venue - centralized, on-chain, or traditional.
The infrastructure around the trading - so your team can see, test, and trust every system.
A transparent process built for systems where mistakes cost money - working software early, staged rollouts, and no black boxes.
We dig into your architecture, venues, and requirements, then agree on a clear plan, timeline, and price.
→ Proposal within one weekWeekly iterations against a test environment - simulated venues, replayed market data, visible progress.
→ Demo every weekStaged rollout to production with monitoring, failover, runbooks, and risk limits in place before real size.
→ Controlled go-liveWe stay on for maintenance, venue changes, and new capabilities - markets don't close, and neither do we.
→ Ongoing partnershipTrading systems fail differently from normal software - at 3am, during volatility, with money on the line. We engineer for that from day one.
Built by engineers who have run production trading systems across many venues - order handling, edge cases, exchange quirks, and all.
24/7 markets demand it: redundancy, failover, monitoring, alerting, and safe failure modes - designed in from the start, not bolted on.
Full IP transfer, your repositories, your infrastructure, clean documentation. Your strategies and data stay yours - under NDA, always.
Weekly demos, a shared task board, and direct access to the engineers writing your code. You always know where the project stands.
Whether you need a defined system delivered or engineering capacity embedded with your desk, we keep the commercial side simple.
A defined system - a quoting engine, a venue integration, a matching engine, a data pipeline - scoped together, priced upfront, delivered on an agreed timeline with a controlled production rollout.
A monthly engagement where we operate as your trading-infrastructure team - building your roadmap, adding venues, hardening systems, and carrying the pager alongside your desk.
The things most clients ask before starting. Anything else - just ask.
Market makers, proprietary trading firms, exchanges, and venues - in crypto and traditional markets. Typical clients either need a system built that their desk doesn't have bandwidth for, or need experienced trading-infrastructure engineers embedded with their team.
Yes. We build against centralized crypto exchanges, on-chain venues (DEXs, perp protocols), and traditional markets via FIX and vendor gateways. Cross-venue normalization - one clean interface over many venues' quirks - is one of the most common things we build.
Everything runs under NDA from the first conversation. Your strategies, parameters, and data stay yours: work happens in repositories you own, deployed on infrastructure in your name, with full IP transfer in the contract. We don't reuse client strategy logic, and we're comfortable with clean-room boundaries between engagements.
We design to the numbers your strategy actually needs - from co-located, microsecond-sensitive paths to robust second-level automation - and we're honest about which regime you're in. Every system ships with monitoring, alerting, failover, and safe failure modes (cancel-on-disconnect, kill switches, position limits) as part of the definition of done.
We start with a scoping conversation and, where useful, a short paid discovery to map your architecture and de-risk the plan. You then get a written proposal with a fixed price or a clear monthly rate - no hidden hours. We'll tell you honestly if scope and budget don't match.
Every delivery includes a warranty period where we fix defects free of charge. After that, most clients keep us on for maintenance and venue changes or move to an embedded-team engagement. Markets don't close - we don't disappear after deployment.
Send a few details - venues, systems, timelines - and we'll get back to you within one business day with honest thoughts on scope and approach. NDA first if you prefer.
