Introduction

Paradigm has two major products, Multi-Dealer RFQ (DRFQ) and Global RFQ (GRFQ).

These two products are separate and require separate authenticated interaction via their specific version & product connections URLs.

Paradigm uses RESToverHTTP and JSON-RPCoverWebSockets as our API interfaces to be consistent with the broader crypto space.

Feel free to reach out for any technical support as we would love to help!

DRFQ - Brief Overview

Multi Dealer RFQ (DRFQ) is to be used when you wish to request a quote for a specific size and from a specific group of counterparties. DRFQs are short lived and designed to be executed within a small time window.

To be part of a DRFQ, you must either be the Initiator (Taker) or a requested counterparty (Maker). DRFQs can be created on a disclosed or anonymous basis, but Makers' desk names are always & only disclosed to the DRFQ Taker.

Makers are unable to see competing Quotes or information relating to the Taker's intended execution side.

If you would like to be recognized as a "Liquidity Provider" or a Maker, please reach out to our Sales team.

Deribit, Bit.com, and the CME are available as venues.

GRFQ - Brief Overview

Global RFQ (GRFQ) is to be used when you wish to contribute to a public auction for a specific RFQ. GRFQ RFQs are long lived and are only canceled after the expiry of the underlying instruments or the inactivity of the RFQ.

Anyone is able to participate in a GRFQ RFQ and act as a Taker or a Maker. All GRFQ RFQ Quotes, Orders, Trades, and interactions are anonymous to everyone but the users who are directly apart of each interaction.

Deribit, Bit.com, and Bybit are available as venues.

API Connection URLs

The API is available on Paradigm's Live and Test environments.

Base URL | Live Environment

RESToverHTTP: https://api.chat.paradigm.co
JSON-RPCoverWebSocket: wss://ws.api.chat.paradigm.co

Base URL | Test Environment

RESToverHTTP: https://api.test.paradigm.co
JSON-RPCoverWebSocket: wss://ws.api.test.paradigm.co

Product & Version

You must concatenate the Base URL with the Version & Product URLs to access specific endpoints.

DRFQ: /v1/drfq
GRFQ: /v1/grfq

Examples:

DRFQ - [GET] /counterparties/ - Example: [GET] https://api.test.paradigm.co/v1/drfq/counterparties/
DRFQ - WS Subscribe URL - Example: wss://ws.api.test.paradigm.co/v1/drfq/
GRFQ - [GET] /rfqs/ - Example: [GET] https://api.test.paradigm.co/v1/grfq/rfqs/
GRFQ - WS Subscribe URL - Example: wss://ws.api.test.paradigm.co/v1/grfq/

Rate Limits

RESToverHTTP requests are rate limited to 30 requests per second per desk across all API Keys.

RESToverHTTP requests share a static rate limit across both our DRFQ and GRFQ Products. You cannot horizontally scale your rate limit per desk by using multiple API Keys.

Onboarding

We can create as many Paradigm test environment accounts as you like. We would love to create a Taker and a Maker account, functionally no different to each other, so you can test the workflows end-to-end.

For test environment accounts, all you need to do is:

Contact your Sales representative with your account creation request.
Provide a unique email address for each Paradigm test account as well as the First and Last Name to be associated.
Upon account creation by the Sales representative, enter testnet Venue API credentials to your Paradigm test Client Admin Dashboard.

As a note, you will need to enter different Venue API Credentials on your Taker and Maker Paradigm accounts as you cannot trade against yourself.

Exchange Testnet URLs

Deribit's Testnet: test.deribit.com
Bit.com's Testnet: beta.bitexch.dev
Bybit's Testnet: testnet.bybit.com

Helpful Reminders

You CANNOT RFQ, Quote, or Trade yourself across any of Paradigm's Products.
All instruments on Paradigm are the same instruments you trade on the underlying venue. This means:
- Instruments on Paradigm can only be traded to the minimum tick size specified by the underlying venue's contract specifications.
- Instruments on Paradigm can only be traded to the minimum order/contract size specified by the underlying venue's contract specifications.
- Supported Venue & Instrument Contract Specifications

High Level Implementation Notes

These notes relate to DRFQ, and GRFQ Products.

You should use your connection to Paradigm through the JSON-RPCoverWebSockets interface to receive updates relating to RFQs, Quotes, Orders (GRFQ), and Trades.

You should use our RESToverHTTP endpoints to interact with Paradigm for all actions such as, but not limited to, Creating RFQs, Creating Quotes, Canceling Quotes, Creating Orders, and Canceling Orders.

Your solution should:

For JSON-RPCoverWebSocket connections, ensure a heartbeat has been initiated and is being maintained.
Ensure each request has the neccessary authentication attributes as each request must be authenticated.
For DRFQs, be subscribed to the rfq, quote, trade, and trade_confirmation JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channels to receive updates relating to those events.
For GRFQs, be subscribed to the grfq, quote_book, quote, order, trade, and trade_tape JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channels to receive updates relating to those events.
Wait for responses to RESToverHTTP requests to confirm successful or erroneous interactions.

Your solution should not:

Use RESToverHTTP endpoints to frequently request updates relating to RFQs, Quotes, Orders (GRFQ) or Trades.
Use JSON-RPCoverWebSockets to send RESToverHTTP requests to Paradigm.

Errors

All RESToverHTTP error responses follow the same basic format. An Error object is returned in response to an erroneous RESToverHTTP request, accompanied by a HTTP status code of 400.

Specific error codes are listed with each RESToverHTTP endpoint.

Error Object

An example of an erroneous Response message

{
    "code": 1002,
    "message": "Invalid enumeration set value",
    "data": {
        "member": "side",
        "value": "CROSS"
    }
}

The Error object is expressed as a single JSON Object, with the following members:

Member	Type	Req	Description
code	number	Y	The type of error that occured.
message	string	Y	A short description of the error.
data	object	N	Additional structured information about the error. The value is determined by the specific member invoked and may not be present if the error does not require it.

Error Codes

The following general error codes are supported by Paradigm:

Code	Message	Meaning
-32700	Parse error	Invalid JSON received by the server.
-32600	Invalid Request	The JSON sent is not a valid Request object.
-32601	Method not found	The method does not exist / is not available.
-32602	Invalid params	Invalid method parameter(s).
-32603	Internal error	Internal JSON-RPC error.
429	Desk's ratelimit reached. Expected available in 1 second.	Refer to Rate Limit section above.
1001	Insufficient permissions	The user does not have sufficient permissions to execute the method.
1002	Invalid enumeration set value	The enumeration set value is invalid for the specified field.

Authentication

All Paradigm API endpoints are considered private and require authentication.

Paradigm uses token-based authentication for API access to both the RESToverHTTP and JSON-RPCoverWebSocket API endpoints.

As an additional protection measure against replay attacks in environments where SSL trust is not properly configured, Paradigm requires all RESToverHTTP requests to be signed using your Paradigm API Key's <secret-key>.

Important Notes:

Paradigm does not currently provide fine-grained token scopes or permissions. Please ensure your API credentials are stored securely.
If you have an IP whitelist set for your Venue API Keys, on the Venue, you will need to include Paradigm's IP addresses in your Venue API Key whitelists.

There are a number of Authentication methods available across both the RESToverHTTP and JSON-RPCoverWebSocket interfaces, these include:

Token-based Authentication
HTTP Header
Cookie
Query String Parameter (JSON-RPCoverWebSocket only)

Error Codes

The following error codes relate to Authentication Errors:

Code	Message	Meaning
401	API Key is not enabled or has been revoked.	Paradigm API Key is Inactive or has been Deleted.
401	Invalid API Access Key.	Paradigm API Access Key is invalid or incorrect.
403	Request signature verification failed.	Paradigm API Secret Key is invalid, incorrect or you have not properly created the signature.

Generating a Paradigm API Key

Before accessing any RESToverHTTP or JSON-RPCoverWebSocket API endpoints, you must generate the necessary Paradigm API credentials. This can be accomplished via the Paradigm Admin Dashboard.

You use the same Paradigm API <access-key> & <secret-key> to authenticate requests for all Paradigm products.

Live Environment

Paradigm Admin Dashboard URL: https://admin.chat.paradigm.co/

Test Environment

Paradigm Admin Dashboard URL: https://admin.test.paradigm.co/

Once Created:

When you have generated Paradigm API credentials, you will be presented with two keys:

Access Key: used to authenticate the API.
Secret Key: used to sign requests against the API.

Be sure to save these two keys somewhere secure as both the Access Key and the Secret Key will only be visible once during creation.

If you lose either the <access-key> or the <secret-key>, you will need to generate a new Paradigm API Key via the Admin Dashboard.

Token-based Authentication

Only the <access-key> is needed for authenticating requests. The different methods are presented below in order of our preference.

HTTP Header

Authorization example with a HTTP Header

{
    "Authorization": "Bearer SXDlhLKYX6GH6InhBxcCzoW4"
}

When possible, authentication should be performed using the Authorization HTTP header. The header should supply the Paradigm API <access-key> in plain text, preceded by the text "Bearer ".

Authorization: Bearer <access-key>

In some cases, providing custom HTTP headers may not be possible. This is particularly true when connecting to JSON-RPCoverWebSockets via browser APIs.

In these cases, the Paradigm API Key Access Key may be provided by a special HTTP cookie. The cookie should be defined as follows:

Paradigm-API-Key = <access-key>

Query String Parameter (for JSON-RPCoverWebSocket connections only)

In the unlikely scenario that you are unable to use HTTP headers or Cookies for authentication against the JSON-RPCoverWebSocket API, Paradigm supports a special HTTP query parameter.

The query parameter can be provided as part of the WebSocket connection URL.

Signing Requests

Paradigm requires all RESToverHTTP requests to be signed.

GET RESToverHTTP example demonstrating signing of requests

# A GET RESToverHTTP sample demonstrating the generation of signatures and signing of requests.

import base64
import hmac
import json
import time
from urllib.parse import urljoin

import requests


def sign_request(secret_key, method, path, body):
    signing_key = base64.b64decode(secret_key)

    timestamp = str(int(time.time() * 1000)).encode('utf-8')
    message = b'\n'.join([timestamp, method.upper(), path, body])
    digest = hmac.digest(signing_key, message, 'sha256')
    signature = base64.b64encode(digest)

    return timestamp, signature


access_key = '<access-key>'
secret_key = '<secret-key>' 
host = 'https://api.test.paradigm.co'

# GET example
method = b'GET'
path = b'/v1/drfq/instruments/'
body = b''

timestamp, signature = sign_request(secret_key, method, path, body)
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {}'.format(access_key),
    'Paradigm-API-Timestamp': timestamp,
    'Paradigm-API-Signature': signature,
}
url = urljoin(host, path.decode())
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)

import time
from urllib.parse import urljoin

import requests


def sign_request(secret_key, method, path, body):
    signing_key = base64.b64decode(secret_key)

    timestamp = str(int(time.time() * 1000)).encode('utf-8')
    message = b'\n'.join([timestamp, method.upper(), path, body])
    digest = hmac.digest(signing_key, message, 'sha256')
    signature = base64.b64encode(digest)

    return timestamp, signature


access_key = '<access-key>'
secret_key = '<secret-key>' 
host = 'https://api.test.paradigm.co'

# POST example
method = b'POST'
path = b'/v1/echo/'
data = {'message': 'hello'}
body = json.dumps(data).encode('utf-8')

timestamp, signature = sign_request(secret_key, method, path, body)
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {}'.format(access_key),
    'Paradigm-API-Signature': signature,
    'Paradigm-API-Timestamp': timestamp,
    'Accept': 'application/json',
}
url = urljoin(host, path.decode())
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)

Important Note: Signing is not currently supported for JSON-RPCoverWebSocket API endpoints.

Request signatures are generated by applying the HMAC-SHA256 function to your Paradigm API <secret-key> and a concatenated message consisting of the request timestamp, request method, request path, query parameters, and body. The key provided to the HMAC function must be the base64-decoded version of the <secret-key>. The signature must then be base64-encoded and passed via a special header value.

Some important considerations are:

The timestamp must be a UNIX timestamp (milliseconds since epoch in UTC).
The request method must be capitalized (e.g. GET).
The request path must include the entire base path of the request (e.g. /rfq/).
The request parameters must include ? (e.g. ?cursor=a2Ed&venue=DBT) unless none are used.
The request body should be substituted with an empty string for GET requests.

Once the signature is generated, the timestamp and signature should be provided as HTTP headers:

Header Name	Header Value
Paradigm-API-Signature	The generated signature
Paradigm-API-Timestamp	The timestamp used when generating the signature

Note: Signed requests are only valid for 30 seconds from when the timestamp is captured. Requests received after the 30 second window are rejected.

JSON-RPC over WebSocket

JSON-RPC

JSON-RPC is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as the data format.

All member names exchanged between the Client and the Server that are considered for matching of any kind should be considered to be case-sensitive. The Client is defined as the origin of Request objects and the handler of Response objects. The Server is defined as the origin of Response objects and the handler of Request objects. A trader using the API can fill the role of both the Client and the Server depending on the Request.

Error Codes

The following error codes relate to establishing a JSON-RPCoverWebSocket connection:

Code	Meaning
HTTP 403	An invalid or incorrect Paradigm API Access Key was used to authenticate the JSON-RPCoverWebSocket connection.
HTTP 403	Incorrect connection query string used.

Cancel on Disconnect

Cancel on Disconnect mode is enabled on all JSON-RPCoverWebSocket connections by default. Cancel on Disconnect mode will cancel all outstanding RFQs (solely for DRFQ) and Quotes (DRFQ+GRFQ) that have been sent with the Paradigm API Key used to authenticate the WebSocket session when all associated WebSocket connections disconnect.

If multiple WebSocket connections are authenticated with the same API Key at the same time, then RFQs (solely for DRFQ) and Quotes (DRFQ+GRFQ) will only be canceled when the last connection with Cancel on Disconnect mode enabled disconnects.

To disable Cancel on Disconnect mode, specify cancel_on_disconnect=false as a query string parameter when connecting to the JSON-RPCoverWebSocket interface.

Cancel on Disconnect mode is shared across all JSON-RPCoverWebSocket interface connections on Paradigm irrespective of the product specific URL being used. This meaning, unless you expliticly specify cancel_on_disconnect=false, all of your JSON-RPCoverWebSocket connections dropping will cancel all actively created RFQs and Quotes in DRFQ and in all Quotes in GRFQ.

Request Objects

An example of a JSON-RPCoverWebSocket Request message

{
    "id": "1",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "subscribe",
    "params": {
        "channel": "rfq"
    }
}

A RPC call is represented by sending a Request object to a Server.

The Request object has the following members:

Member	Type	Req	Description
id	string or number	N	An identifier established by the Client. The id is omitted if the method is a Notification.
jsonrpc	string	Y	The version of the JSON-RPC protocol. Always "2.0".
method	string	Y	The name of the method to be invoked.
params	object	N	The parameter values to be used during the invocation of the method. This field may be omitted if the method has no parameters.

Response Objects

An example of a Successful Response message

{
    "id": "1",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": [
        "rfq",
        "trade"
    ]
}

An example of an Erroneous Response message

{
    "id": "1",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "error": {
        "code": -32601,
        "message": "method not found",
        "data": {
           "method": "unsubscribe-all",
           "timestamp": 1597326842.415
        }
    }
}

When a RPC call is made, the Server replies with a Response, except for in the case of Notifications. The Response is expressed as a single JSON Object, with the following members:

Member	Type	Req	Description
id	string or number	N	The same value of the id field specified on the Request object. The value is null if there is an error parsing the Request object. The value is omitted in a Notification.
jsonrpc	string	Y	The version of the JSON-RPC protocol. Always "2.0".
result	object	N	The result of a successful request. The value is determined by the specific method invoked. Not present if there is an erroneous result.
error	Error object	N	The result of an erroneous request. Not present if there is a successful result.
> code	number	N	Error code.
> message	string	N	Error message.
> data	object	N	Array of information relating to error.
>> method	string	N	Erroneous request method.
>> timestamp	decimal	N	The time the error occurred as the number of unix milliseconds since epoch (January 1, 1970).

Session Methods

heartbeat

An example of a JSON-RPCoverWebSocket heartbeat Request Object

{
    "id": 1,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "heartbeat"
}

An example of a JSON-RPCoverWebSocket heartbeat Response Object

{
    "id": 1,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0"
}

The client is required to regularly send heartbeat Requests to the user over a WebSocket connection at least once every 10 seconds.

If the user does not send a heartbeat in a given 10 second window, the WebSocket connection will be closed by Paradigm.

Paradigm will respond to a heartbeat Request with a heartbeat Response.

Note: The Request does not have a params object and the Response does not have a results object.

Error Codes

The following error code relates to maintaining a heartbeat:

Code	Meaning
4005	Paradigm did not receive a heartbeat from the WebSocket connection within the past 10 seconds.

Subscription Methods

Subscriptions work as Notifications, so users will automatically (after subscribing) receive messages from the server.

They are the primary means through which you should intend to receive updates with regards to RFQs, Quotes, Orders (GRFQ) and Trades.

Subscriptions are only available through WebSockets as these are sent asynchronously from Paradigm to the user as they happen.

Subscription Notification objects have the following members:

Member	Type	Req	Description
jsonrpc	string	Y	Always `"2.0"`.
method	string	Y	Always `subscription`.
params	object	Y	Array of returned data.
> channel	string	Y	The name of the channel.
> data	object	Y	Data specific to the channel.

An example of a subscribe Request Object

{
   "id": 123,
   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
   "method": "subscribe",
   "params": {
            "channel": "rfq"
   }
}

An example of a subscribe Response Object

{
    "id": 123,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": [
               "rfq",
               "trade"
    ]
}

For DRFQ, there are four subscription channels you can subscribe to: rfq, quote, trade, and trade_confirmation.

For GRFQ, there are six subscription channels you can subscribe to: rfq, quote_book, order, quote, trade, and trade_tape.

To subscribe to multiple channels, send a separate subscribe request for each channel.

Note: The Response result is a JSON array of all channels currently subscribed to (DRFQ+GRFQ).

The Request params object has the following members:

Member	Type	Req	Description
channel	string	Y	The channel to subscribe to.
data	object	N	An channel-specific object that specifies parameters for the channel.

unsubscribe

An example of an unsubscribe Request Object

{
   "id": 123,
   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
   "method": "unsubscribe",
   "params": {
      "channel": "rfq"
   }
}

An example of an unsubscribe Response Object

{
   "id": 123,
   "jsonrpc": "2.0",
   "result": [
            "trade"     
   ]
}

To unsubscribe from multiple channels, send a separate unsubscribe request for each channel.

Note: The Response result is a JSON array of all channels currently subscribed to.

The Request params object has the following members:

Member	Type	Req	Description
channel	string	Y	The channel to unsubscribe from.

Notification Channels

A Notification is a Request object without an id member. A Request object that is a Notification signifies the Client's lack of interest in the corresponding Response object, and as such no Response object needs to be returned to the client. The Server must not reply to a Notification, including those that are within a batch request.

Notifications are not confirmable by definition, since they do not have a Response object to be returned. As such, the Client would not be aware of any errors (like e.g. "Invalid params", "Internal error").

The Notification Channels are the primary means by which your solution should be expected to be updated with regards to RFQs, Quotes, Orders(GRFQ) and Trades.

Key Note: DRFQ, and GRFQ are separate products with separate JSON-RPCoverWebSocket subscriptions required. You must subscribe to the specific channels of each product you would like to receive notifications from.

DRFQ WebSocket Notification Channels

There are four DRFQ JSON-RPCoverWebSocket notification channels:

rfq - Private Updates relating to the creation, expiration, cancellation and fill of RFQs.
quote - Private Updates relating to quotes upon RFQs including creation, expiration, cancellation, pending_fill and fills of Quotes.
trade - Public Updates regarding all completed DRFQ trades on Paradigm even if you are not an included counterparty.
trade_confirmation - Private Updates relating to the successful clearing & settlements of trades upon the underlying venue.

GRFQ WebSocket Notification Channels

There are six GRFQ JSON-RPCoverWebSocket notification channels:

rfq - Public Updates relating to the creation and expiration of RFQs.
quote_book - Public Updates relating to the creation and availablility of Quotes.
order - Private Updates relating to the creation and execution of Orders upon Quotes.
quote - Private Updates relating to creation, execution, and cancelation of Quotes upon RFQs.
trade - Private Updates relating to executions solely involving the Taker and Maker.
trade_tape - Public Updates relating to all completed Trades on Paradigm through GRFQ.

Shared - REST Endpoints

The following REST Endpoints have no Product Identifier in the Connection URL as they are shared across the Paradigm API.

[POST] /echo/

/echo/ Request example

# You can also use wget

DRFQ - API Workflows

We have Auto-Market Makers running on our Test environment. You are able to request any RFQ from them and they will respond with a number of quotes promptly.

Their desk names are "DSK2", "DSK3", "DSK4", "DSK5", and "MT2". They are apart of the 'LP' counterparty list returned from [GET] /counterparties/.

High Level

DRFQ is centred around the concepts of "RFQs", "Quotes" and "Trades":

RFQs are strategies comprised of one or more instruments with Taker defined attributes. RFQs are to be Quoted upon by the requested Makers.
Quotes are created by the Maker in response to a requested RFQ.
Trades occur when the Taker executes upon an existing Quote on an RFQ.

At a high level, the DRFQ workflow is:

Taker creates an RFQ and chooses which counterparties to send it too.
Maker(s) quotes the RFQ.
Taker receives the quote(s).
Taker chooses to execute upon the best quote and the trade is sent to the underlying venue for clearing & settlement.
Taker & Maker receive confirmation that the trade's execution has successfully cleared & settled or been rejected by the underlying venue.

Key DRFQ Concepts

In DRFQ,

Specific countparties must be selected by the Taker to be apart of the RFQ.
There are NO partial fills. You must quote and execute the full RFQ size.
There is NO concept of an Quote Book or a public auction.
Takers can choose to RFQ on a disclosed or an anonymous basis.
It is possible to have an execution Rejected by the underlying venue for a number of reasons (eg, Margin or API Key issues).

Taker's Perspective

Important Note: Both the Taker and the Maker will receive all updates through the JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channels for events relating to RFQs, Quotes, and Trades.

Taker creates an RFQ using [POST] /rfq/create/. You can pull available instruments from [GET] /instruments/ and counterparties from [GET] /counterparties/.
Taker is able to cancel an RFQ if they wish to do so with [POST] /rfq/cancel/.
Maker, who is a requested counterparty to the RFQ, and is notified over the rfq JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel, is then able to provide a quote to the RFQ.
Taker, who will be notified of quotes on the quote JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel, is able to execute upon the best quote with [POST] /quote/execute/.
Taker will receive confirmation of the trade's successful/rejected clearing & settlement on the trade_confirmation JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel.
Taker will also receive confirmation of the trade being completed on the trade JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel as well as all other DRFQ trades on Paradigm.

Maker's Perspective

Important Note: Both the Taker and the Maker will receive all updates through the JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channels for events relating to RFQs, Quotes,and Trades.

Taker will create an RFQ and the Maker will be notified on the rfq JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel.
Maker is able to create a one way quote using [POST] /quote/create/.
Maker is able to cancel an existing quote with [POST] /quote/cancel/. A Maker must cancel any existing quote on an RFQ before they are able to update their quote.
Taker chooses to execute upon an available quote.
Maker will receive an update of their Quote being executed upon from the quote JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel with the status pending_fill.
Maker will receive finality around successful/rejected clearing & settlement from the trade_confirmation JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel.
Maker will receive confirmation of the trade being completed on the trade JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel as well as all other DRFQ trades on Paradigm.

DRFQ - Code Examples

Reach out if you ever need any help! We are more than happy to help.

You will need to update the provided Code Examples with your own Paradigm Access Key and Secret Key.

You can find all existing examples on our github: https://github.com/tradeparadigm/code-samples

Note: All examples in this section are in Python3.

JSON-RPCoverWebSockets

Authenticate, establish a heartbeat and Subscribe to the rfq, quote, trade, and trade_confirmation JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification Channels.

RESToverHTTP

All Interactions

Takers and Makers should both be subscribed to the rfq, quote, trade, and trade_confirmation JSON-RPCoverWebsockets Notification channels to receive the required information to use the RESToverHTTP endpoints.

Both Makers and Takers

[GET] - /instruments/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to pull the instruments available on Paradigm.
[GET] - /counterparties/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to pull your available counterparties' information.
[GET] - /rfq/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to pull information relating to RFQs you were aparty to.
[GET] - /rfq/ - A more comprehensive example demonstrating pagination and the use of parameters.

Taker Specific

[POST] - /rfq/create/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to create an RFQ.
[POST] - /rfq/cancel/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to cancel an RFQ.
[POST] - /quote/execute/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to execute a provided Quote.

Maker Specific

[POST] - /quote/create/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to create a Quote.
[POST] - /quote/cancel/ - A simple code example demonstrating how to cancel an already created Quote.

Auto-Market Makers

We encourage you to RFQ all counterparties marked as an "LP" from the [GET] /counterparties/ as this includes all of Paradigm's Auto-Market Makers.

The desk names of some of the Auto-Marker Makers are "DSK2", "DSK3", "DSK4", "DSK5", and "MT2" on the Test environment.

If you would like to run your own Auto-Market Maker, here is a link to the code and dockerfile: https://github.com/tradeparadigm/code-samples/tree/main/python/api/market_maker

Auto-Takers

We also have Auto-Taker code examples to help Maker's test their solutions.

Auto-Taker-Creator - Creates RFQs every 5 seconds: https://github.com/tradeparadigm/code-samples/tree/main/python/api/auto_taker
Auto-Taker-Executor - Executes the best received quote every 5 seconds: https://github.com/tradeparadigm/code-samples/tree/main/python/api/market_taker

An update to an RFQ sent as an RFQ object with members the user is permissioned for. Users are sent RFQs in which they are a counterparty to.

Each RFQ has a globally unique identifier with the rfq_id member.

The most recently received Notification with the same rfq_id is the current state of the RFQ.

Important Note: Quotes in response to the RFQs are not sent through the rfq notifications channel, but through the quote notifications channel.

The response "params" data object has the following members:

Member	Type	Req	Description
channel	string	Y	The notification channel the message was delivered upon.
data	array	Y	An arrary of information relating to the specific RFQ.
> created	decimal	Y	The time the RFQ was created in the number of milliseconds since epoch (January 1, 1970).
> desk	string	N	The Desk Name of Taker.
> rfq_id	number	Y	The unique identifier of the RFQ. Paradigm creates this value.
> account	object	N	An array present as the Taker detailing the Paradigm API Key Name or "CME" related information.

A [POST] /rfq/create/ request creates an RFQ.

An /rfq/create/ request has the following workflow:

The Taker sends an /rfq/create/ request to Paradigm.
Paradigm sends an /rfq/create/ response to the Taker.
1. If the /rfq/create/ request is valid, the RFQ object is returned to the Taker.
2. If the /rfq/create/ request is invalid, an Error object is returned to the Taker.
If the /rfq/create/ request is valid, Paradigm sends a Notification on the rfq notification channel to the Taker & the counterparties listed in the RFQ specifying the details of the new RFQ.

Note: You are able to find the instrument names from the [GET] /instruments/ request or the name returned from the exchanges. You are able to pull counterparties desk tickers from [GET] /counterparties/. Takers are only able to RFQ up to 60 counterparties at the present moment.

The Auto-Market Makers on the Test Environment have the desk names are "DSK2", "DSK3", "DSK4", "DSK5", and "MT2".

A [POST] /quote/create/ request allows you to Quote an RFQ you are a counterparty to.

A Quote represents a single side of the trade, either the "BUY" or "SELL", specified by the top-level "side" field.

To quote both sides of an RFQ, two quotes would need to be created, each with it's own unique "client_order_id".

A /quote/create/ request has the following workflow:

The receiver of an RFQ sends a /quote/create/ request to Paradigm.
Paradigm sends a /quote/create/ response to the RFQ receiver.
1. If the /quote/create/ request is valid, the Quote object is returned to the RFQ receiver.
2. If the /quote/create/ request is invalid, an Error object is returned to the RFQ receiver.
If the /quote/create/ request is valid, Paradigm sends a Notification on the quote JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channel to the creator of the RFQ and other members of the user's desk specifying a new response to the RFQ.

Important Note: You must quote the entire RFQ and not part of the legs or only part of the quantity.

A [POST] /quote/execute/ request executes a Quote. It is only used by the creator of the RFQ, the Taker.

A /quote/execute/ request has the following workflow:

The creator of the RFQ sends a /quote/execute/ request to Paradigm.
Paradigm sends a /quote/execute/ response to the creator.
1. If the /quote/execute/ request is valid, the RFQ object is returned to the creator.
2. If the /quote/execute/ response is invalid, an Error object is returned to the creator. A /quote/execute/ request is invalid if the RFQ or Quote has already expired or been canceled.
If the /quote/execute/ request is valid, Paradigm sends a Notification on the quote JSON-RPCoverWebSocket Notification channel to the creator of the RFQ and the creator of the Quote specifying that a fill is pending.
1. If the exchange confirms the trade, another Notification on the quote channel is sent to all parties listed above that the Trade has been completed and the Quote is filled.
2. If the exchange rejects the trade, another Notification on the quote channel is sent to all parties listed above that the Trade could not be executed and the Quote is rejected. A Trade is all or nothing and a rejection of one leg of the trade will cause the rejection of all legs.
If the Trade has been confirmed, Paradigm sends a Notification on the quote JSON-RPCoverWebSocket Notification channel to other desks that responded to the quote specifying that the quote has been canceled.
If the Trade has been confirmed, Paradigm sends a Notification on the rfq JSON-RPCoverWebSocket Notification channel to all counterparties aparty in the RFQ specifying that the rfq has been filled.

Important Notes:

We will follow the convention from the Maker's (dealer's) perspective with regards to which quote for the Taker to execute.
As the Taker if you wish to "BUY" the RFQ'd structure, you should execute upon the received Quote which has the side key with the property "SELL".
Following this, if as the Taker you wish to "SELL" the RFQ'd structure, you should execute upon the received Quote which has the side key with the property "BUY".
Takers are only able to execute upon the best priced quote they receive. After you execute upon a quote, Paradigm checks to ensure the quote is the best available quote. It is critically important you only assume a Trade is completed after you receive confirmation over the trade and trade_confirmation WebSocket Notification channels.

GRFQ is centred around the concepts of "RFQs", "Quotes", "Orders" and "Trades":

RFQs are globally and publicly available strategies comprised of one or more instruments with specific quantity ratio attributes.
Quotes are created by Takers and Makers as Quotes upon the Quote Book.
Orders are created by Takers to execute upon existing Quotes.
Trades occur when Orders (from Takers) and Quotes (from Makers) are matched and sent for clearing & settlement.

At a high level, the GRFQ workflow is:

Taker creates an RFQ with the desired Instruments and quantity ratios.
Makers Quote the RFQ.
Takers can execute an Order upon an RFQ and consume Quotes which suit the set Limit Price & venue enforced "Block Size Minimums".
Once a Quote and an Order are matched, the executions are sent to the underyling venue for clearing & settlement.
Taker and Maker aparty to the trade receive confirmation if clearing & settlement was successful or rejected.
All Paradigm users are able to see cleared & settled Trades, but NOT the counterparties or the traded RFQ/Order/Quote side.

Key GRFQ Concepts

In GRFQ,

RFQs are public auctions and all have open Quote Books.
You do NOT select counterparties, anyone is able to contribute/execute upon the Quote Book.
All trades are on an anonymous basis with no participant or directional information revealed.
All resulting executions are subject to some venues' determined "Block Size Minimum". Paradigm will enforce this validation at the Quote & Order Execution level.
There are partials fills of both Quotes and Orders.
It is possible to have multiple trades where a number of Quotes are consumed by a single Order.
WebSocket messages will contain two keys, kind and status. You should use these keys to know the status and finality of the concept it's referring too.

Common Workflows

Important Note: Both the Taker and the Maker will receive all updates through the JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification channels for events relating to RFQs, Quotes, Orders and Trades.

A user is only a Maker where their Quote is executed upon by an Order. A user is only a Taker if they submit an Order which crosses an existing Quote.

Create/Check for RFQ

If you would like to create an RFQ or check if one exists, you should request the RESToverHTTP [POST] /rfqs/ endpoint.

Pull available Quotes on an RFQ

Each RFQ is comprised of Quotes. Quotes are NOT aggregated by Price levels as is usual in centralized Quote Book.

Makers submit Quotes on RFQs and Paradigm returns them individually to all users as children of the RFQ primarily because of workflow complications relating to some venues' "Block Size Minimum" rules.

You should request the RESToverHTTP [GET] /quotes/ endpoint.

Submit a non-crossing Quote on an RFQ

Users are NOT able to submit Quotes which cross an existing resting Quote on an RFQ.

You should request the RESToverHTTP [POST] /rfqs/{rfq_id}/quotes/ endpoint.

Submit a crossing Quote/execute upon a Quote with an Order

Users are able to submit a Quote which crosses an existing Quote on an RFQ as well as they are able to submit an Order to cross an existing Quote.

You should request the RESToverHTTP [POST] /rfqs/{rfq_id}/quotes/ or [POST] /rfqs/{rfq_id}/orders/ endpoint.

Replace an existing Quote on an RFQ

In the present release there is NO atomic replace endpoint.

Users should first request RESToverHTTP [DELETE] /quotes/{quote_id}/ their existing Quote and wait for a response. Upon a successful response, users should then RESToverHTTP request [POST] /{rfq_id}/quotes/ to submit a new Quote.

Cancel a requested Order on an RFQ

Takers are not able to cancel a requested Order. You will receive a successful/erroneous response from the RESToverHTTP [POST] /rfqs/{rfq_id}/orders/ request with information regarding the outcome.

Executable Quote Book

RFQs are comprised of individual Quotes which are not aggregated by price level as is usual with standard centralized Quote Books. This was principally done to accomodate venue created & enforced "Block Size Minimums".

Not all venues have "Block Size Minimums", most notably Bybit, but the workflows for ranking+aggregating what is actually executable is the same for all venues with GRFQ.

So as the user, you are likely to have the following questions:

Q: "What's the priority of Quotes apart of an RFQ?"
- A: Paradigm prioritises Quotes based upon Price & Time priority. This is the same priorisation mechanism as centralized Quote Books.
Q: "How does the Block Size Minimum affect what I can execute?"
- A: As Paradigm must conform to the venue enforced Block Size Minimum, so too must you. This means a number of things:
  - All Quotes must meet the Block Size Minimum Quantity requirement.
  - All Orders must meet the Block Size Minimum Quantity requirement.
  - Paradigm will consume multiple Quotes as apart of a single Order Execution. If part of a Quote is consumed and the remaining quantity is below the Block Size Minimum, this Quote will be canceled.
  - Orders will consume Quotes up to the specified Limit Price, but may not be able to execute the complete requested quantity.

Workflow to create+manage your Quote Book

Subscribe to the quote_book JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification Channel to receive updates relating to Quotes upon RFQs.
Request the RESToverHTTP [GET] /quotes/ endpoint to return all existing Quotes on RFQs.
ADD/REMOVE/UPDATE your locally stored Quotes as updates are received through the quote_book WS Channel.

Workflow to create+manage your Executable Quote Book:

Subscribe to the quote_book JSON-RPCoverWebSockets Notification Channel to receive updates relating to Quotes upon RFQs.
Request the RESToverHTTP [GET] /quotes/ endpoint to return all existing Quotes on RFQs.
ADD/REMOVE/UPDATE your locally stored Quotes as updates are received through the quote_book WS Channel.
Determine the Block Size Minimum requirement for the RFQ you are trading upon. This will be the minimum executable quantity.
- For Deribit, this is 25BTC for BTC Options RFQs and $200kUSD for Futures RFQs.
- For Bybit, this is $1USD for Futures RFQs.
Create levels in your Executable Quote Book by the Block Size minimum quantity size to ascertain the size & price levels.

Helpful perspectives:

GRFQ is fantastic if you want to trade large size and have a target price in mind. The ability to submit "Limit Orders" as either resting Quotes or Orders with a limit price enables this.
Thinking in terms of size & price levels is the best way.
When you submit an Order, Paradigm, depending on the size of your Order and the Quote Book at the time, will likely consume multiple Quotes. This means you will have to wait for multiple trades to clear on the underlying venue.

All updates relating to Quotes upon RFQs are sent through the quote WebSocket Notifications channel.

This is a private channel and only provides updates to the Maker who created the Quote.

Updates received through the quote WebSocket Notification channel can include newly created quotes, removed quotes, quotes pending settlement & clearing, quotes which are partially filled as well as quotes which are completely filled.

Quotes which are executed upon and a rejection occurs at the underlying venue are canceled upon rejected. The remaining_quantity of the Quote is no longer available on the Quote Book. It does not matter which party is to blame, the Quote is kind == CANCELED and status == CLOSED.

Quotes which have been [PATCH] /rfqs/{rfq_id}/quotes/ have the original quote kind == CANCELED and status == CLOSED and a new Quote with kind == NEW and status == OPEN.

Workflow Steps:

Maker creates Quote. kind == NEW & status == OPEN.
Taker partially executes upon Quote. kind == PENDING_FILL & status == OPEN.
- Upon finality at settlement & clearing, Maker receives kind == PARTIALLY_FILLED & status == OPEN.
Taker partially executes upon already partially executed Quote. kind == PENDING_FILL & status == OPEN.
- Upon finality at settlement & clearing, Maker receives kind == PARTIALLY_FILLED & status == OPEN.
Taker executes executes upon a Quote, but the Trade is rejected by the underlying venue. kind == CANCELED & status == CLOSED.
Taker completely executes quote as so there is 0 remaining_quantity. kind == FILLED & status == CLOSED.

All updates relating to Orders upon RFQs are sent through the order WebSocket Notifications channel.

This is a private channel and only provides updates to the Taker who submitted the Order.

Updates received through the order WebSocket Notification channel can include a pending fill notification as well as a summary of an order's execution at finality. You will receive a single kind == PENDING_FILL and kind == SUMMARY per order execution regardless of the number of Quotes consumed.

It is important to be aware that executions can be rejected by exchanges. You should the difference between the requested_quantity and the filled_quantity in the messages to be aware of the success of the execution(s).
