Arcanum is a Derivatives protocol where traders open leveraged, perpetual, or option positions priced off oracle feeds and settled in collateral held by the contract. It is deployed on Arbitrum.

Arcanum is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Arbitrum — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (RedStone); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices.
