History

Why are they called Zeta?

In options trading there are these metrics known as the Greeks - delta, gamma, theta, vega etc. There are all based off Greek letters. What they are saying - "We are options geeks so Zeta which is also a Greek letter was a really cool name to us!"

Zeta Markets was founded by Tristan Frizza in 2021. Now Company have 11-50 workers^[1]. The Zeta core contributors have traders and developers who have worked in some of the best tradfi derivatives trading firms, software devs/data scientists from huge tech companies, along with a bunch of experience across building apps for millions of active users. Company baked by Electric Capital, Jump Crypto, Wintermute and Solana Ventures. Now located in Newyork, Argyll and Bute, United Kingdom

Zeta is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that was created just three years ago after emerging from the second Solana hackathon. The platform was built for speed, simplicity and security, and has quickly become one of the fastest and most reliable perps DEX on the market. Zeta is also known for pioneering the on-chain central limit order book (CLOB).

Since its inception, Zeta has facilitated over $2.77 billion in trading volume and has served more than 71,600 monthly active users (MAU). The platform offers a seamless mobile experience, near-instant cross-chain deposits, and Z-score rewards.

Features

- Zeta Token and Z-Score

Future function of Zeta Markets is their own token. From their words "As the Zeta ecosystem scales the $Z token will become integral to its function, and will lay the foundation for governance and key protocol operations. Staking will be used as a vital mechanism to facilitate these token utility features." The allocation for individual traders will be based on two factors: their Z-Score and their demonstrated long-term alignment with the protocol. Z-Score's impact on token distribution may be in direct proportion to Z-Score values or though a tiered system based on distinct Z-Score thresholds; or a combination of both.

- Zeta Card

A Zeta Card is a tool introduced by Zeta Markets to maximize your Z-Score on Zeta, leveraging compression on Solana. It provides an innovative 'first in DeFi' incentive program that is only possible on Solana.

Z-Pass: Purple is designed to provide traders with a short term 2x boost to the Z-Score earned for trading on Zeta.

Burn the NFT: To activate your 2x Z-Score boost, burn your Z-Pass: Purple NFT. This can be done using most popular wallets or directly from Zeta's trading interface.
Trade: During the next 7 days, all taker trades you execute will earn you double the Z-Score points.

Once burned, the NFT will be destroyed and a 7-day timer will initiate immediately. Your benefits become active within the same hour you burn the NFT.

Importantly, this benefit stacks well with any other boost you may be receiving (e.g. the boost for your position on the leaderboard).

The different types of Zeta Cards available for Season 2 of Z-Score, each corresponding to a different rarity level and boost benefits, are:

Pink: Common (C) with a 1.25x multiplier
Silver: Legendary (L) with a 2.00x multiplier
Gold: Mythic (M) with a 3.00x multiplier
Blue: Uncommon (U) with a 1.50x multiplier
Bronze: Rare (R) with a 1.75x multiplier

Build with Zeta

In General meaning Zeta propouse you 3 variants of building your own system to trade:

- Python SDK

The SDK's primary purpose is to provide Python developers with an easy-to-use environment for user authentication, data retrieval, and the uploading of data/results from their analysis to BaseSpace. All the way to building a simple trading bot ^[2].

zetamarkets_py package: ^[3]

class zetamarkets_py.client.Client(provider: ~anchorpy.provider.Provider, network: ~zetamarkets_py.types.Network, connection: ~solana.rpc.async_api.AsyncClient, endpoint: str, ws_endpoint: str, exchange: ~zetamarkets_py.exchange.Exchange, margin_account: ~zetamarkets_py.zeta_client.accounts.cross_margin_account.CrossMarginAccount | None, _margin_account_address: ~solders.pubkey.Pubkey | None, _open_orders_addresses: dict[~zetamarkets_py.types.Asset, ~solders.pubkey.Pubkey] | None, _margin_account_manager_address: ~solders.pubkey.Pubkey | None, _user_usdc_address: ~solders.pubkey.Pubkey | None, _combined_vault_address: ~solders.pubkey.Pubkey, _combined_socialized_loss_address: ~solders.pubkey.Pubkey, _logger: ~logging.Logger, _account_exists_cache: dict[~solders.pubkey.Pubkey, bool] = <factory>)

Bases: object

This class represents the Zeta Client. It contains all the necessary attributes and methods for interacting with the Zeta Exchange from the user side, including loading the client, fetching state and pricing, and handling various market assets.

- Typescript SDK

The TypeScript SDK is a convenient tool for communicating with Composable Commerce APIs. This SDK is generated as a TypeScript library with the help of our open-source code generator. It follows the REST modeling framework, which means that it provides faster updates for newly released API features and quicker resolutions for any bugs.^[4].

They're open sourced their SDK for Devnet and Mainnet. Their SDK is a typescript library that can be used to interact with their Zeta program smart contract.

- Program ABI

An Application Binary Interface (ABI) is a type of interface that serves as a link between two binary program modules. One of these modules is typically a library or an operating system facility, while the other is a program that is being executed by a user. ^[5]

This is Zeta's cross-program integration ecosystem - fully open-sourced.

The accounts and relevant data that is currently supported (non-exhaustive):

State - contains global parameters relating to all markets

Fee percentages
Admin pubkeys
Platform limits
Halt state

Pricing - global mark prices, pricing params and funding information

Mark Prices
Funding rates
Perp and margin params

CrossMarginAccount - individual user margin accounts

Balance
Positions
Orders
