How it works

How Jetstream Works

From order placement to clearing and margining — here’s how Jetstream gives you the power of a CEX with the transparency of DeFi.

Jetstream combines a modern trading front end with a powerful clearing engine (Pascal Protocol) to deliver real capital efficiency — on-chain.

Use any self-custody wallet to connect. Deposit collateral (e.g., USDC) into your Jetstream margin account.

No KYC for retail

Assets are secured by smart contracts, not centralized custody

Choose from futures or (soon) options. Submit limit or market orders via Jetstream’s on-chain order book (built on Arbitrum One).

Fast execution

Low fees

Live market depth and orderbook transparency

Jetstream’s margin engine calculates your exposure across all positions — not just isolated ones.

Portfolio-based margin (VaR)

Real-time PnL, funding, and exposure

Supports multi-leg strategies and correlated hedging

Built on Pascal Protocol’s smart clearing logic

Once a trade executes, Jetstream passes it to Pascal for deterministic clearing:

Margin updates instantly

Offsets and exposures are netted

Collateral is released when risk is reduced

Transparent risk engine

No reliance on centralized bots

You keep custody, always

Your entire portfolio — across all instruments — is visible in one place.

Adjust collateral

Add or close trades

Track risk and margin live

Integrated strategy management (calendar spreads, block trades, etc.)

Jetstream is “Powered by Pascal” — the open clearing protocol that handles:

Pascal is what lets Jetstream offer real leverage — safely.

Margining

Liquidation

Collateral release

Risk offsetting

You don’t need to trust us — the contracts are open, and the logic is verifiable.
