what's ostium labs?

Ostium Labs is a decentralized perpetuals exchange focused on enabling on-chain trading of real-world assets (RWAs) such as gold, oil, the S&P 500, and commodities like copper and silver. It operates on Ethereum Layer 2 for settlement, providing users with leveraged trading up to 100x, full self-custody, instant deposits and withdrawals, and no account restrictions typical of traditional finance platforms. The platform integrates prediction markets, allowing conditional trades based on market swings, and features a points program where users earn points through trading and liquidity provision for potential future rewards. Ostium emphasizes accessibility, starting trades with as little as $10, and supports extended trading hours for various assets.
