Linera unlocks real-time DeFi applications with its parallel execution model and horizontally scalable microchains, enabling high-speed, low-latency financial primitives that rival traditional markets. On-chain Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs) operate at sub-second speeds, offering professional-grade trading experiences without sacrificing decentralization. Real-time lending markets and automated market makers (AMMs) leverage Linera’s parallel processing architecture, allowing protocols to scale without congestion—even during liquidations and volatility spikes.

Linera also enables high-frequency trading (HFT) strategies and streaming payment models, bringing continuous settlement and dynamic pricing to on-chain finance. Institutions can build on-chain treasury systems, derivatives platforms, and automated risk management solutions, all powered by Linera’s low-latency, parallelized infrastructure—pushing DeFi beyond what was previously possible.
