# Welcome to Fermi Labs

Fermi Labs builds two tightly-coupled pieces of market infrastructure:

* **Fermi DEX** – a Solana-settled, order-book exchange that reaches centralized-exchange speeds while remaining trust-minimized. Orders are matched off-chain in sub-millisecond time but settle atomically on-chain, so users never relinquish custody or finality guarantees.
* **Continuum** – a cryptographic sequencing layer that delivers publicly-verifiable, microsecond-resolution FIFO ordering to any blockchain or roll-up. By proving that no one—​not even the sequencer—​can reorder or censor transactions, Continuum removes the economic drag of MEV and gives every participant an equal shot at best execution.

Together they let high-frequency traders enjoy CEX-class latency, market makers deploy capital more efficiently, and DeFi developers plug provably-fair ordering into their own protocols with two function calls. The rest of this documentation shows you how.
