# Building on Elysia Perps

What the Elysia Perps module offers projects that want their own perp market, and what is available today.

Elysia Perps is not only a live market you can trade on. It is a perpetuals module. The same engine that runs the live market (order matching, margin, the liquidation engine, oracle pricing, on-chain custody, and the quanto collateral model) is designed so that a builder can launch **their own market, or their own trading app, on top of it**.

If you are here as a trader, you don't need this page. It is for builders and teams evaluating Elysia Perps as the foundation for a venue of their own.

## What the module gives a builder

* **A complete perp engine**, with matching (CLOB), margin, the liquidation engine, mark/oracle pricing, and on-chain custody: the full stack behind the live market.
* **Per-market configuration**: collateral token, traded asset, fees, leverage, tick size, and margin requirements are all set per market. See [Markets](/elysia-perps/trading/markets.md).
* **The quanto model**: a market can be denominated in a non-stablecoin token, so a market can run on the token its community already holds. See [Quanto Markets](/elysia-perps/introduction/quanto-markets.md).
* **A proven reference implementation**: the live BTC-PERP-EL and US500-PERP-EL markets are the working templates.

## Current status

To be clear about where things stand today:

* The **module** (the packaged engine you would use to launch your own market) is not **yet publicly available to download or deploy.**
* Its **source and reference documentation are not yet published**, so there is no self-serve way to build on the module on your own yet.

Note that the **live ElysiaPerp custody contract is a separate thing** and *is* already deployed and inspectable on-chain (see [Smart Contract Security](/elysia-perps/risk-and-security/smart-contract-security.md)). What is not yet open is the module itself: the reusable engine for launching new markets. That will open up as the project matures.
