Jarry Xiao
Perpetual Decentralized Exchanges
Jarry Xiao is the co-founder and engineering lead of Ellipsis Labs, an infrastructure company building trading-focused systems on Solana and beyond. He is best known for helping develop Phoenix, Ellipsis’s on-chain central limit order book, and for his work on Atlas, the firm’s newer blockchain for “verifiable finance.” Xiao’s background is in high-frequency trading, with prior work on options trading systems, and as an early contributor to Solana’s compressed NFT work. More broadly, his work is related to designing low-latency, market-structure-aware infrastructure that tries to bring traditional trading performance into on-chain finance.
