# About Pluto

Pluto is a decentralized perpetual futures and spot trading platform built for the next-generation of everyday traders.

**Pluto Today**

On Pluto, you can access 150+ futures assets and a growing list of major spot assets including BTC, ETH and HYPE with some of the most competitive fees and liquidity in the industry. We route orders to Hyperliquid's HyperCore on-chain order books which is [already rivaling Binance liquidity and volume](https://hypeflows.com/).

Additionally, you own your funds completely. This lowers large-scale hacking risk and shenanigans that have plagued centralized exchanges like Binance and ByBit.

**To Pluto and Beyond**

We are building Pluto because we believe decentralized finance is the future of finance. Majority of consumer finance (i.e. trading, earning, sending funds) will happen on the blockchain because on-chain finance is (1) lower-cost, (2) 24/7 real-time settled and (3) verifiable. 

**Core Contributors**

We are a small team of crypto natives and developers with backgrounds in both traditional finance and big tech.\

Pluto is self-funded and was built to accelerate the adoption of perps and Hyperliquid.
