• Trading pairs will be gradually enabled after launch

Introduction to RPI orders

RPI orders optimize trading efficiency for market makers through exclusive matching and pricing advantages. Key features include:

• Post-only to enhance liquidity: RPI orders are post-only orders, ensuring they add liquidity to the order book and never execute as taker orders. This helps improve market depth and enhance the trading experience for retail users.

• Exclusive matching mechanism: RPI orders will only match with non-algorithmic (i.e., non-OpenAPI) taker orders. Such orders are visible to OpenAPI takers but cannot be executed by them, helping create a more balanced and fair trading environment for retail users.

• Lower execution priority: At the same price level, RPI orders have lower execution priority compared to non-RPI orders, regardless of order placement time, and will be filled later. This is designed to incentivize order placement via OpenAPI.

• Order book visibility: RPI orders are visible on both the trading page and via OpenAPI.

• Limited applicability: Currently available only to designated market makers. Supports unified trading account futures, margin, and spot trading only.
