Proposal: Canton Algorithmic Trading Toolkit (venue connector, liquidity bots, MCP execution)
This proposal asks the Development Fund to generalize, open-source, and maintain an algorithmic trading toolkit that already runs against four Canton venues across three market structures: Cantex and Tradecraft (spot AMMs, mainnet), the funded DEX reference implementation (order book and RFQ, hosted testnet), and Ekiden (perpetuals).
Milestone 1 is already built and public. Every milestone is checked by running one named script from the public repository; the Canton Foundation has already verified another grant's milestone by running this toolkit's own integration report (linked under Motivation in the proposal).
Total ask: 1,200,000 CC across four milestones, approximately $120,000 at the CC price measured on 2026-08-12, including a 50,000 CC infrastructure line inside the total.
Champion: seeking; review requested from the DeFi Protocols & Liquidity SIG.
