What is Senticore?
Senticore is a hybrid crypto exchange that pairs the execution quality of a centralized venue with the custody and verifiability guarantees of an on-chain protocol - without asking users to choose between the two.
Senticore has completed internal beta with live trading on real collateral. Public mainnet is not live yet. Closed beta is planned for Q3 2026 with whitelisted external users and capped TVL.
The problem we solve
Traders are stuck choosing between two flawed models:
- Centralized exchanges are fast and liquid, but you hand custody to an operator and take their solvency on faith. 2022 showed what that costs.
- On-chain DEXs are self-custodial and transparent, but on-chain matching is slow, MEV-exposed, and a poor fit for a real order book.
Senticore refuses the trade-off: match like a CEX, settle and prove like a chain. Funds stay in an on-chain vault, the operator cannot fabricate balances, and solvency and withdrawals are verifiable by anyone - while order entry, matching, and risk run at off-chain speed.
How it works
Senticore is built around three architectural pillars.
Off-chain matching
Users sign trading actions and route them to a Rust matching engine designed for low-latency execution. Matching runs on a single deterministic primary - there is no multi-node consensus to trust and no matching-layer fork risk. Because the same inputs always produce the same result, the off-chain engine is independently auditable: replay the accepted event log and you recompute the exact state root the protocol commits on-chain. The engine processes order entry, matching, risk checks, and fill generation before blockchain confirmation is needed.
On-chain commitments
The sequencer periodically publishes checkpoint roots to on-chain contracts. These roots make account state, settlement state, and withdrawal claims independently verifiable through Merkle proofs - the foundation of "don't trust, verify."
Multi-product collateral
Spot markets, binary options, and prediction markets share a unified collateral model. Users deposit supported assets once and trade across enabled markets subject to risk checks and market rules.
What makes Senticore different
| What it means for users / partners | |
|---|---|
| Verifiable solvency | Protocol- and account-level solvency proofs are first-class API endpoints - not a quarterly PDF. |
| Proof-backed withdrawals | Withdrawals settle against on-chain roots with Merkle proofs, not operator discretion. |
| One collateral layer, many products | Spot, binary options, and prediction markets on a single deposit and risk model. |
| Built for professionals | REST, public/private WebSocket, HTTP order-entry bytes for provisioned market makers, and FIX where provisioned. |
| An ecosystem, not just a venue | Builder Codes monetize market access; the Launchpad brings new assets to listing. |
| Engineered, then opened | The full deposit-to-withdrawal lifecycle already runs on real collateral in internal beta. |
Architecture at a glance
Who is Sentico Labs
Sentico Labs is an EU-based engineering team building Senticore. We have built the system end-to-end before presenting it as a public product - depth first, marketing second.
What is implemented today
- Matching, sequencing, and risk in Rust, validated with deterministic cross-engine differential replay and nightly property fuzzing across supported order types.
- Custody and state commitment contracts with CI coverage gating, invariant testing, adversarial signature paths, and full-stack settlement round-trip tests.
- Production-shape persistence with health-checked pooling, hash-versioned migrations, active Prometheus metrics, and tested recovery procedures.
- Full lifecycle validation from deposit to match to settle to proof-backed withdrawal during internal beta with real collateral.
- TypeScript, Python, and Rust SDK previews with typed HTTP and WebSocket clients.
- Web application with wallet integration and trading flows.
- Builder Codes for paid builder access to existing markets, with Builder Basic and Builder Pro pricing classes.
- Launchpad intake, fee-gated admission, asset registry, orchestration worker, and listing wireup, with production chain automation still release-gated.
