Parquet is a decentralized perpetuals exchange on Solana for synthetic long/short exposure to US equities, equity ETFs, and commodity ETFs, with USDC collateral and on-chain oracle price feeds sourced from Alpaca and Finnhub. Trading is powered by a USDC liquidity pool. Every position is opened against the pool at the oracle price. Liquidity providers earn a share of fees generated from trading, liquidations, borrowing, and funding. Stakers earn protocol fee distributions. This documentation covers the product for traders and liquidity providers. Whether you are opening a leveraged position, providing liquidity, staking for rewards, or referring other traders, start from the section that matches your goal.

Markets and trading hours

Parquet lists 15 active markets: 11 large-cap US equities (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN, META, TSLA, COIN, MSTR, PLTR, AMD), 3 ETFs (SPY, QQQ, GLD), and 1 commodity ETF (USO). See Markets for the full list. Because the underlying instruments only trade during US Regular Trading Hours, Parquet inherits that calendar. Outside RTH the oracle feed goes stale and every state-changing instruction reverts — meaning the exchange is effectively open Monday–Friday, 09:30–16:00 ET (excluding US market holidays and early closes). Existing positions stay open across the weekend; new opens, closes, margin updates, and liquidations all pause until the next session.
