Gryphon is an application suite and software library for algorithmic trading in cryptocurrency markets. It has tools to accelerate every phase of running a trading business, from strategy design and execution to financial reporting.
Up until now, Gryphon was the proprietary stack of Tinker, one of the earliest professional market making companies in the cryptocurrency world. Using Gryphon, Tinker traded over $8 billion worth of cryptocurrency over 3 years, representing as high as 30% of daily volume on regulated exchanges.
Gryphon is now an open source project, so everyone can take advantage of the years of practical learning that are built into the framework.
The core design principle of Gryphon is to make life easy for strategy designers. You can focus on writing trading behaviour, and let the framework handle the details.
Exchange operations and other common fuctions are written in human-readable form.
Dozens of built-in features and building block libraries make it possible to create complex trading behaviour in very little code.
Ships with 4 built-in strategies you can run instantly, and use as a template for your own strategies.
Gryphon is the tempered steel of trading systems. It's already seen 25000 trading hours, made millions of trades representing billions of dollars of volume. Not to mention the thousands of lines of unit tests that secure every build.

Gryphon has smart exception handling and fault recovery, it can frequently logic itself out of failure states, such as when an exchange reports a different balance than expected. This improves uptime and gives you confidence your strategies are doing what you want them to.
Working with exchanges is hard, and dealing with rate limits, rounding behaviour, nonces, and other details can add thousands of lines of code to a project. Gryphon handles all of this for you, giving the user a single reliable interface for each of 20+ trading pairs, with all the details already solved.
High-frequency trading requires ultra-precise trade accounting. Gryphon automatically tracks every order, trade, and transaction that it processes in it's Trading Database, and can achieve $0.01 ledger accuracy over millions of dollars of volume on the best exchanges.
Gryphon ships with a dashboard webserver that makes it easy to supervise running strategies, debug issues, and understand the health of your business.
The dashboards can be run locally, or served over the internet behind authentication layers, so you can manage trading operations from anywhere.
Gryphon has all the tools needed to run a multi-strategy hedge fund with millions under management.
