## Description

Sea Protocol is a decentralized exchange platform and grid trading protocol deployed on the Aptos and Sui blockchains. It provides a trading infrastructure that combines on-chain order books with automated market maker liquidity hubs and a cross-chain trading engine.

The system is distinguished by its automated grid trading capabilities, which execute buy and sell orders at linear or geometric price intervals to capture market volatility. It also supports zero-spread trading through post-only order routing and a hybrid model that integrates central limit order books with automated market makers.

The protocol includes a comprehensive suite of tools for liquidity management, utilizing on-chain vault custody for token deposits. It incorporates a governance system with a timelock mechanism for administrative changes, as well as on-chain analytics for monitoring protocol metrics and trader performance.

Programmatic access to trading operations, order histories, and grid data is provided via a set of standardized API endpoints.
