Clearing for crypto, built in.

Yellow Network Protocol

Yellow Network Protocol clears and settles trades between venues, brokers, applications and AI agents. Trades clear off-chain through state channels. Only the net result settles on-chain.

WHAT IT DOES

One clearing layer across chains and venues.

Yellow SDK
A chain-agnostic toolkit for building applications that clear and settle on Yellow Network.
Netted clearing
Obligations between participants net off-chain and settle on-chain in batches, so fewer transfers touch the chain.
State channels
Trade updates move between participants off-chain, so a trade does not wait for a block or pay gas at each step.
Cross-chain by design
Collateral stays on its own chain. Applications work across chains without bridging assets.

Built for exchanges, brokers, market makers and AI agents that need to settle with each other, across the chains they already use.

THE PROTOCOL

Channels, clearing, nodes.

State channels carry the trades. A clearing engine nets what each participant owes. A network of nodes relays updates and co-signs settlement on-chain.

Yellow Network ProtocolA modular stack: a real-time clearing engine, the Yellow SDK and a network of nodes. Use it to build exchange, brokerage, payment and agent applications that settle across chains.

TRADING INFRASTRUCTURE

For brokers and venues

Trade across chains in real time, without bridging assets between counterparties.
Brokerage software

NeoDAX: white-label brokerage software.

Built on the Yellow SDK by the team behind OpenDAX. It ships order matching, custody and an algo-trading runtime as one deployment.
Guided setup
Launch with defaults taken from professional trading software, then customize every part.
Modular
Fits spot, derivatives and brokerage businesses. Scale each component as volume grows.
Security
On-chain custody with the operational controls of a centralized venue.
Open source
Public code, deployed and reviewed by independent developers and companies.
CLEARING NETWORK

Shared liquidity, cleared once.

Venues and brokers on Yellow Network trade with each other in real time across chains, without an intermediary bridging assets.

Shared order books
Connected venues share liquidity instantly, so each one fills against the depth of the whole network, not only its own book.
Non-custodial
Connected venues do not hold user funds. Collateral is locked in multisig smart contracts on-chain.
Application layer
An application layer on top of state channels brings order books and high-frequency trading to network participants.
Cross-chain settlement
Yellow Network connects to EVM chains and Solana for cross-chain collateral and settlement.
UTILITY

$YELLOW

The protocol's utility token. It pays for clearing and for access to the network.
Transaction fees
Users pay network fees in YELLOW, on any connected chain.
Network access
Applications post YELLOW as a deposit, so both sides of a transaction have collateral at stake.
Clearing fees
When two participants settle a batch, each pays a clearing fee priced on the USD value of the settlement.
Tooling access
YELLOW gives access to SDK modules, wallets and routing tools.
