Bringing Verifiable Compute to Onchain Prop Trading

• Carrotfunding.io is adding ROFL as a trustless verification layer for its order execution and evaluation engine
• A ROFL instance will run in parallel with the existing infrastructure, cryptographically verifying all computations
• The platform is taking concrete steps toward eliminating trust assumptions in onchain prop trading infrastructure

Oasis is excited to announce a new integration with carrotfunding.io, leveraging runtime offchain logic (ROFL) to create the first fully onchain prop trading platform. Carrot enables skilled traders to prove their abilities through onchain challenges and gain access to funded accounts backed by real capital. The platform has already demonstrated strong potential for product-market fit, serving traders seeking fair capital allocation in an industry plagued by opacity and misaligned incentives.

Traditional prop trading has grown into a multi-billion-dollar market, yet traders are routinely forced to trust black-box systems for order execution, performance evaluation, risk management, and payout execution. While Carrot is already running trustlessly in many respects, using rethink.finance vault infrastructure for capital safety and gTrade for trade execution, one critical component remains: the AWS-based engine that executes trading orders and evaluation logic for traders and capital in the vault.

Implementation details

By adding ROFL verification, Carrot is addressing this final trust assumption. ROFL's trusted execution environment (TEE) architecture ensures that every computational decision - everything from evaluation metrics to payout calculation - can be cryptographically verified onchain.

Carrot will deploy a ROFL instance running in parallel with the existing AWS infrastructure, serving as an independent verification layer. Every computation performed by AWS will be verified by ROFL, creating a cryptographically provable record that traders and investors can check. 

Why this matters

For traders, this means having cryptographic proof that evaluation criteria are applied fairly and consistently. Every decision is recorded onchain and verifiable through cryptographic proofs. For investors backing the capital pools, ROFL provides confidence that funds are managed according to predetermined, immutable rules.

For the broader DeFi ecosystem, Carrot's integration demonstrates how complex, performance-critical financial applications can reduce trust assumptions through verifiable compute infrastructure. A full migration to ROFL-only operation remains a target on the longer-term roadmap. Learn more and follow Carrot's journey on x. For more information about ROFL, visit the official docs.
