DoubleZero Introduces High-Speed Trading Technology to Crypto with Solana Data Feed
The DoubleZero Foundation has launched a platform designed to accelerate the delivery of crypto market data to trading firms, marking a significant step towards adopting Wall Street-style systems in the digital asset space. DoubleZero Edge, the project's first offering, is a real-time data feed from the Solana blockchain, allowing traders to access information that influences prices more rapidly. By collaborating with validators, DoubleZero Edge distributes data more efficiently to market participants, addressing the delays and inconsistencies associated with relying on the public internet. This dedicated system is specifically designed for on-chain data and can reduce delivery times by tens of milliseconds, providing a competitive edge for high-frequency trading firms. The platform utilizes a private fiber network and multicast methodology to distribute data to multiple participants simultaneously. Additionally, DoubleZero Edge introduces a new economic model, where validators can earn revenue by supplying data, and traders can subscribe to feeds using USDC. The launch of DoubleZero Edge comes as crypto trading firms seek more reliable infrastructure, and the platform aims to reduce uncertainty and level the playing field by providing faster and more predictable market data. According to Andrew McConnell, co-founder of DoubleZero, 'deterministic infrastructure removes a risk that market makers have to price in, resulting in tighter spreads and better execution.'
