Skynet Trading

What Skynet Trading does

Skynet Trading is a Hong Kong-headquartered digital assets trading and market making firm founded in 2019 that provides liquidity solutions to Web3 projects, token issuers, and venture capital funds. The company's core offering consists of two market making models: an API-Key Model in which Skynet operates its proprietary algorithms against client-controlled exchange accounts (clients retain capital and trading results), and a Delta-Neutral Model that hedges directional exposure while providing deep order books. The technology stack includes sub-millisecond execution architecture, regional low-latency server deployment, MEV-aware multi-chain DEX routing, and operational safeguards (per-market limits and throttles), integrated with 60+ centralized exchanges, 10+ blockchain VMs, and 20+ decentralized exchanges.

Complementary standalone services include a trustless self-service terminal for real-time strategy deployment, OTC and software-based CEX/DEX implementation for venture funds, curated introductions to listings and strategic partners, and live dashboards providing real-time visibility into order book depth, spreads, volumes, and capital deployment. Revenue is generated primarily through a fixed service fee structure on market making engagements; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm reports operating metrics including 500+ tokens traded, 60+ CEX integrations, and >99% system uptime. Geographic service is global with explicit restrictions on OFAC-sanctioned countries, the EU, and Liechtenstein, and the company maintains GDPR compliance and is GDPR-compliant per its privacy statement.

The go-to-market is enterprise-focused and consultative, with prospective clients engaging via direct consultation (Telegram, contact form). Credibility is reinforced by an investment and endorsement from Lars Seier Christensen (co-founder of Saxo Bank) and named client testimonials from Stepn (FSL) and Nosana. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds beyond the Saxo Bank co-founder's backing, and operates with 11-50 employees from its Sheung Wan office.
