Zeta Markets was founded in 2021 and won the grand prize at the Solana Summer Hackathon, an early signal of its technical ambitions. The protocol operated an on-chain central limit order book for perpetual futures and options, a design that distinguished it from many contemporaries on the network. By May 2024, the platform had processed more than 6 million trades and $6 billion in volume across more than 100,000 wallets, and its final whitepaper reported over $15 billion in total trading volume and more than 40,000 monthly active users at its peak.
Zeta Markets raised a total of $13.5 million across two funding rounds. An $8.5 million strategic round led by Jump Capital was announced in December 2021, followed by a $5 million round led by Electric Capital in May 2024. Additional backers had included Race Capital, Airtree Ventures, Amber Group, Wintermute, Alameda Research, Genesis Block Ventures, QCP Capital, MGNR, Orthogonal Trading, LedgerPrime, SkyVision Capital, Selini Capital, Solana Ventures, Digital Asset Capital Management, Sino Global Capital, and 3kVC.
