Deepsigma Launches DeFi Perpetual Contract Platform Covering 77 Traditional Financial Markets

The decentralized perpetual contract exchange Deepsigma has launched a real-time simulation trading platform that covers 77 traditional financial markets, including U.S. stocks, stock indices, commodities, and U.S. Treasury yields. The platform is developed on the Cypherium blockchain and is driven by a team of alumni from Goldman Sachs, Citadel Securities, Google, and Uber, supporting long and short exposure trading of related assets. Deepsigma's perpetual contracts do not tokenize, custody, or physically deliver the underlying assets but instead track prices through external market data sources. The platform currently supports contracts for the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite Index, Russell 2000 Index, Cboe Volatility Index, as well as crude oil, gold, silver, natural gas, and copper. The platform's risk engine employs multiple external price sources, mark prices, circuit breakers, partial liquidation, and insurance funds, and utilizes a central limit order book and clearing layer to handle margin, collateral, and settlement. Deepsigma is also developing a decentralized identity framework based on zero-knowledge proofs and is equipping off-chain AI analysis tools with no fund execution authority; the underlying Cypherium employs a hybrid PoW and HotStuff Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus mechanism and holds four U.S. patents.
