mperps has [introduced a perpetual-trading platform on Canton](https://x.com/mperpsxyz/status/2092635810072027163), with Aster handling trades and account balances recorded on Canton.

[Perpetual contracts](https://docs.mperps.xyz/#introduction) let traders take a position on whether an asset's price will rise or fall, without a fixed expiry date. The [app](https://app.mperps.xyz/) lists contracts linked to Bitcoin, Ether, Canton Coin, gold and U.S. stocks. The stock-linked contracts give traders exposure to price movements without ownership of the shares.

The interface brings together prices, charts, open positions and trading history. Traders can choose [market orders or limit orders](https://docs.mperps.xyz/#order-types), depending on whether they want to submit an order at market prices or specify a price they are willing to accept.

[Orders are matched on Aster](https://docs.mperps.xyz/#order-lifecycle) before a corresponding position is created on Canton. When a trade is closed, its gain or loss is settled in USDCx, a dollar-linked token on Canton.

New accounts require an invitation code. [Deposits are made in USDCx](https://docs.mperps.xyz/#deposits-bridge) and credited once the transfer is confirmed and the account has passed identity verification.

The platform was developed by [the team behind ZeroMile and WeFi](https://x.com/mperpsxyz/status/2092635819316265206). [Hyperliquid and Lighter are planned additions](https://x.com/mperpsxyz/status/2092635816808051138), with Aster currently the only trading venue available.
