Autonity has released the Alpha version of the Autonomous Futures Protocol (AFP) on the Bakerloo testnet. This marks the first deployment of its decentralized clearing infrastructure, together with AutEx, the initial trading venue built on top of it.
The AFP introduces a new market structure by decoupling trade execution from clearing, enabling shared margin across multiple venues. Early access participants will be able to explore the AFP, get a head start on building agents for key protocol functions, begin developing trading bots, and more ahead of the upcoming trading competition in September -The Forecastathon.
