Crypto Trading Gets a Boost with DoubleZero's 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 the digital asset space. The DoubleZero Edge platform, launched on Thursday, offers 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 quickly to market participants, addressing the current reliance on the public internet which can lead to delays and inconsistencies. This dedicated system is specifically designed for on-chain data and can reduce delivery times by tens of milliseconds, even during periods of high network activity. The platform utilizes a private fiber network and multicast technology to send data to multiple participants simultaneously, a method commonly used in traditional financial markets. DoubleZero Edge also introduces a new economic model, where validators can earn additional revenue by supplying data, while traders subscribe to the feeds using USDC. The launch of DoubleZero Edge comes at a time when crypto trading firms are seeking more reliable and predictable infrastructure, and the platform aims to level the playing field by reducing uncertainty and improving market data delivery. According to Andrew McConnell, co-founder of DoubleZero, deterministic infrastructure can remove risks and lead to tighter spreads and better execution, ultimately benefiting traders and market makers.
