Summary

Canton has trading venues but no open trading layer: liquidity and activity reach them only through manual interfaces or private in-house tooling, and nothing lets software quote, execute, and risk-manage across venues. This proposal generalizes, open-sources, and maintains an algorithmic trading toolkit that already runs against four Canton venues covering three market structures, adding a reference liquidity-bot engine and an agent execution interface with enforced risk caps. The value is a reusable component rather than a one-off integration: the same client serves every venue on the network, which is what RFP 13 asks for, and the Foundation has already verified another grant's milestone by running this toolkit's own integration report.
