Monaco’s Game-Changing RFP Program Targets High-Frequency Trading Dominance on Sei Network

High-frequency trading meets blockchain—and traditional finance just got served notice.

Monaco's strategic pivot unleashes institutional-grade trading capabilities directly on-chain, bypassing legacy infrastructure that's been holding back real DeFi adoption.

The Sei Network advantage: built-for-speed architecture that actually delivers sub-second finality traders demand. No more pretending Layer 1s can compete with traditional exchanges.

Why this changes everything: real market makers finally get the tools to provide actual liquidity instead of just farming incentives. Tight spreads meet deep order books—without the usual centralized custody risks.

Watch traditional HFT firms suddenly discover 'blockchain enthusiasm' now that real money's on the table. Because nothing inspires innovation like the scent of uncorrelated alpha.

Monaco, the high-frequency trading LAYER designed to establish a decentralized Wall Street on the Sei network, has announced the launch of its Requests for Proposals (RFP) program. This initiative aims to attract developers interested in leveraging Monaco’s advanced liquidity layer and revenue-sharing model to build next-generation on-chain trading platforms.

The RFP program invites world-class teams to explore various tracks that align with Monaco's technical capabilities. These include:
