Crypto Trading Gets a Boost as DoubleZero Unveils High-Speed Data Platform for Solana
The DoubleZero Foundation has introduced a new platform designed to accelerate the delivery of crypto market data to trading firms, marking a significant step towards adopting Wall Street-style systems in digital asset markets. The DoubleZero Edge platform, launched on Thursday, provides a real-time feed of raw data from the Solana blockchain, allowing traders to react faster to market developments. By partnering with validators, DoubleZero Edge distributes data more efficiently, reducing reliance on the public internet and the delays that come with it. This dedicated system is specifically designed for on-chain data, aiming to shave off tens of milliseconds from data delivery times. The platform utilizes a private fiber network and multicast technology to send data to multiple participants simultaneously. Additionally, DoubleZero Edge introduces a new economic model, where validators can earn extra revenue by supplying data, and traders can subscribe to feeds using USDC. The launch addresses the growing need for reliable and predictable infrastructure in crypto trading, particularly as competition increases and margins decrease. According to Andrew McConnell, co-founder of DoubleZero, the new system can help create a more level playing field by minimizing uncertainty in data delivery, leading to better execution and tighter spreads.
