Deribit Overview

The Deribit exchange is a European-based cryptocurrencies derivatives exchange. Eligible traders can refer to Deribit’s Terms of Service for more details.

Deribit Exchange API

TT® supports the following:

• Prices: FIX Deribit API for instrument download and prices
• Orders: FIX Deribit API for placing and updating orders

Deribit supported products and trading on TT

The TT platform supports trading in all futures and perpetual instruments available on Deribit. On TT, instruments listed under the Currency Product Type are perpetual swap contracts.

Deribit futures and perpetuals are “inverse contracts”, so market quantities are displayed on TT in notional contracts. Orders for these instruments are accepted by Deribit in increments of 10 lots. If a TT user enters an order that is not in an increment of 10, the order will be rejected by TT.

TT lists index data for Deribit perpetual swaps under the Index Product Type. To view this data, use the Market Explorer to select "Index" under the Type column and open the Market Grid widget.

Deribit rate limits support on TT

Deribit rate limits allow 2 order requests per second (or a burst of 20 orders per 10 seconds). The exchange also has a limit of 50 orders per instrument.

If your order rate exceeds the 2 requests/second maximum, the exchange will reject your orders. TT will block order rates over 50 requests/second unless you request a setting of greater than 50 from the exchange and configure the new value for the user or connection.

To increase the rate limit at the exchange, contact: support@deribit.com

Increasing the Deribit rate limit on TT

After contacting the exchange and receiving an increase in rate limits, you can configure the new order rate per user. Increasing the rate per connection may impact other users on the connection.

Deribit Cancel on Disconnect

If a user enables Deribit's Cancel on Disconnect (COD) functionality, then their orders submitted via TT will get canceled when they experience an exchange disconnect. Individual users can choose to enable this functionality on the exchange's website.
