About Ellipsis Labs
Ellipsis Labs is a company focused on building applications and infrastructure for a sustainable financial foundation, particularly in the crypto and DeFi space. Their products include Phoenix, a fully on-chain limit orderbook decentralized exchange on the Solana blockchain, which combines traditional finance's capital-efficient orderbook model with the verifiability of DeFi. They are also developing Atlas, a blockchain designed for verifiable finance, aiming for a financial world where transparency, security, and performance coexist. Additionally, Ellipsis Labs actively contributes to the open-source ecosystem through research contributions to Umbra Research and tools like the Verifiable Build CLI, which helps developers verify that public source code matches on-chain deployments.
