Partners
NautilusTrader partners with established technology and data providers, along with selected trading venues, creating an ecosystem built for performance, security, and compliance.
Partners are chosen based on offerings that extend the platform's core capabilities. Each integration must meet strict technical and infrastructure requirements so the platform maintains the real-time performance and reliability the community expects.
Venue partners
Venue partners are exchanges and trading venues that combine deep liquidity, low-latency infrastructure, and operational reliability. Each integration is selected to meet the execution quality and operational standards that serious systematic traders, market makers, and proprietary desks expect from production-grade infrastructure.
NautilusTrader is supported by partnership agreements with each partner venue, with rebates received from attributed order flow. Users pay standard venue fees – these arrangements do not increase trading costs or worsen trading conditions.

dYdX
Decentralized perpetual futures on a sovereign appchain
dYdX is one of the largest decentralized perpetual futures exchanges, offering an alternative venue for decentralized liquidity across crypto markets. Perpetuals settle on chain without intermediaries or custodians, with a public, permissionless validator set securing every block.
With v4, dYdX migrated from a StarkEx-based Layer 2 to its own sovereign appchain built on the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT consensus. Full nodes maintain in-memory order books, and the block proposer commits matched fills to state at every block. The re-architecture targets lower latency, higher throughput, and stronger reliability than v3, with the protocol kept fully open source.
Cosmos-based appchain – Sovereign chain on the Cosmos SDK with CometBFT BFT consensus and ~1 second block times for fast finality.
In-memory order book – Full nodes maintain in-memory order books; the block proposer commits matched fills on chain at every block.
Gas-free orders – Order placement and cancellation incur no gas; only filled trades pay the standard taker and maker fees.
Decentralized liquidity – Open-source protocol and permissionless validator set provide a non-custodial venue for crypto perpetuals.
INTEGRATION DETAILS
NautilusTrader integrates with the dYdX Chain through the nautilus-dydx crate over its gRPC, REST, and WebSocket interfaces, providing access to perpetual markets from within the NautilusTrader engine.
The Nautilus integration address is set on the order_router_address field of every order placed by a user-controlled NautilusTrader node, providing transparent order attribution.

Data partners
Data partners provide historical and live data for NautilusTrader research, backtesting, and live trading, from exchange market data to on-chain DeFi events. Each adapter decodes partner data into NautilusTrader data types, so strategies consume the same objects in backtests and on live nodes.
Users pay each provider's standard rates – partnership arrangements add no markup.
Databento
A simpler, faster way to get market data
Databento is a market data provider built by engineers from leading trading firms, delivering normalized live and historical feeds, reference data, raw PCAPs, and dedicated connectivity for equities, futures, and options.
Data is captured in the colocation facilities that house each venue's matching engine and delivered with nanosecond-resolution timestamps, full L3 order book depth, and one normalized format across venues.
Full-depth, lossless capture – L3 feeds, PCAPs, and normalized schemas (MBO, MBP, trades, OHLCV, imbalance, and more) with precise timestamp alignment.
Low-latency delivery – Real-time delivery over a binary TCP API with PTP-synchronized timestamps and direct cross-connect options for latency-sensitive workloads.
High availability – Redundant networks and servers across multiple IP transit providers, with FPGA-based capture at 100-gigabit line rate and virtually zero gaps.
Pay-as-you-go pricing – Self-service onboarding with usage-based billing for consumed data, plus flat-rate tiers for teams that want unlimited access.
INTEGRATION DETAILS
NautilusTrader integrates with Databento through the nautilus-databento crate, which uses Databento's official Rust client over its historical HTTP and live TCP APIs and decodes DBN data into Nautilus objects for backtesting and live trading from within the NautilusTrader engine.
Envio
High-throughput on-chain data retrieval
Envio builds data infrastructure for blockchain applications. HyperSync, its data retrieval layer written in Rust, serves blocks, transactions, and event logs from dozens of EVM chains.
NautilusTrader uses HyperSync event history to replay full AMM pool state, starting with Uniswap V3 and compatible concentrated-liquidity pools. Replay rebuilds each pool's price, liquidity, ticks, positions, and fees, and the same pool profiler maintains that state for backtesting and live trading.
Pool discovery – Pool creation events from supported DEX factories define the pool universe, which configurable pool filters can narrow.
Persistent cache – Pool metadata, decoded events, and snapshots persist in an optional Postgres cache for reuse across runs.
Live pool events – Live nodes can stream swaps, liquidity changes, fee collections, and flash events through HyperSync.
Snapshot validation – Replay-derived pool snapshots can be checked against on-chain state, and snapshots marked invalid are excluded from replay.
INTEGRATION DETAILS
NautilusTrader integrates with Envio through the nautilus-blockchain crate, which uses the HyperSync Rust client to read historical blocks and contract logs and can also follow new blocks and pool events at the chain head. The adapter decodes DEX pool events such as swaps, liquidity changes, and fee collection into the NautilusTrader DeFi data model.
The HyperSync client sends a NautilusTrader/<version> user-agent header with every request. NautilusTrader is supported by a revenue-share agreement with Envio, with usage attributed through this header and referral links.
