Modulus

What Modulus does

Modulus builds financial systems for modern markets, including exchanges, prediction markets, trading platforms, broker systems, market data infrastructure, institutional treasury systems, and liquidity platforms. Founded in 1997, Modulus has applied its expertise to various industries, serving clients like NASA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and NASDAQ. The company focuses on building accurate and high-performant AI, bridging the gap between real-world speed and Large Language Models. Modulus offers an AI-accelerated development workflow through its Blueprint and Code Foundry, leveraging decades of financial engineering experience, millions of lines of source code, and patented innovation to deliver production-grade financial technology up to 10x faster and more cost-effectively than traditional methods. They provide elastic development through "Work Units" where engineers direct AI workcells to deliver reviewed work within 24 hours. Modulus also offers enterprise solutions, a partner program, and AI security audits.

Products

• Modulus BlueprintA system-level layer that brings 30 years of financial infrastructure experience into the AI development process, including source code, architecture, implementation patterns, regulatory awareness, testing discipline, trade secrets, and production lessons learned by engineers. It guides AI-assisted workflows with stronger architecture and relevant components.
• Modulus Code FoundryThe internal build engine that applies the Blueprint to active development. It puts three decades of Modulus source code, implementation patterns, and architecture behind the AI workcells engineers direct, ensuring builds start from proven designs and hold up in the real world.
• Work UnitsElastic development units where a Modulus engineer directs AI workcells with access to millions of lines of Modulus code, returning documented work within 24 hours. They are designed to be more efficient and cost-effective than standard consulting, with no subscription or long-term contract.
• Prediction Market PlatformA production-ready, white-label infrastructure with source code, instant liquidity, regulatory compliance support, and enterprise-grade security for event-contract markets. It supports binary, multi-outcome, categorical outcomes, and various types of markets like sports, political, economic, and financial.
• Modulus Trading PlatformA professional white-label trading platform with customizable source code for brokerages, proprietary trading firms, funds, educators, and fintech companies. It includes features like real-time quote screens, advanced charting, portfolio tracking, order entry, auto-trading, scripting, and AI/LLM-assisted trading system development.
• Web Trading PlatformA customizable trading front-end built on the Modulus Trading Platform, accelerated by an AI development workflow. It offers a polished modern interface with multi-monitor support, cross-device syncing, full branding, flexible integration, and powerful charting for technical analysis.
• AI Security AuditIndependent assessments of AI and machine learning systems used in production, measured against recognized standards. It uncovers vulnerabilities in AI systems, including data poisoning, model evasion, and prompt injection, and provides mitigation plans.
• Partner ProgramA program for companies to build or integrate their products with Modulus, pass review, and access the Modulus client base. Approved products are marketed and sold to Modulus clients worldwide, with Modulus handling billing and sales facilitation.

AI approach

Modulus leverages its proprietary "Blueprint" and "Code Foundry" which are internal systems trained on three decades of Modulus's production fintech source code, architecture, and patents. This allows their AI workcells, directed by human engineers, to generate production-grade financial technology. They focus on accurate and high-performant AI, bridging real-world speed with LLMs, and emphasize structural knowledge and real-world edge cases that general-purpose models lack. They also offer AI security audits for machine learning systems.
