Founded in 2023, aPriori aims to improve execution for traders and liquidity providers by utilizing high-frequency trading practices on Ethereum Virtual Machine networks. The company was established by former engineers from Jump Trading, Coinbase, and Citadel Securities [1].
The newly raised funds will support the development of a blockchain-native order flow coordination layer designed to reduce inefficiencies and MEV (Miner Extractable Value) leakage for traders and liquidity providers (LPs). This technology aims to enhance market efficiency and fairness by analyzing order flow in real-time, similar to payment-for-order-flow models used in traditional brokerage systems [1].
aPriori's core feature, "Swapr," can distinguish between harmful and beneficial activities, thereby improving the overall trading experience. The company's goal is to create tighter spreads, fairer execution, and more sustainable yields for all market participants [1].
The strategic investment round underscores the growing interest in blockchain-native solutions for high-performance trading. As the crypto market continues to evolve, innovative technologies like aPriori's are poised to play a significant role in enhancing market efficiency and reducing inefficiencies.
