AUSTIN, Texas, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Connamara Technologies today announced that EP3, its award-winning exchange, clearing and surveillance platform, now supports bilateral matching, enabling exchange operators to build markets where trades are governed by bilateral counterparty agreements rather than central clearing.

The new capability helps global customers meet regulatory requirements for bilateral trading while expanding the range of market structures that EP3 supports.

Unlike centrally cleared markets, bilateral markets require order matching to account for contractual agreements and notional limits between counterparties. EP3’s new bilateral matching algorithm validates these agreements and terms during the matching process to determine whether orders are eligible to execute.

This update also includes:

• API endpoints for creating and modifying bilateral agreements.
• Market data that presents participant-specific executable quantities based on bilateral agreements.
• Configurable matching algorithms on a per-instrument basis, allowing different instruments on the same exchange to use different matching logic.
• Automatic bilateral limit adjustment with real-time trade clearing

“As new markets emerge, exchange operators need technology that can support different trading models,” said Jim Downs, Co-Founder and CEO. “Bilateral matching enables our customers to reach new market participants while expanding the types of markets EP3 can support.”

Bilateral matching represents another step in the continued evolution of EP3’s extensible, modular exchange platform. By supporting additional matching models, EP3 continues to expand the range of market structures it can serve while addressing the evolving needs of a diverse global client base.
