High-Speed Trading Technology from Wall Street Enters Crypto with DoubleZero's Solana Data Platform

The DoubleZero Foundation has introduced a new platform, DoubleZero Edge, designed to accelerate the delivery of crypto market data to trading firms, signaling a growing need for Wall Street-style systems in the digital asset sector. Launched on Thursday, the platform's initial offering is a real-time feed of raw data from the Solana blockchain, granting traders quicker access to price-influencing information. By collaborating with validators, DoubleZero Edge can distribute data more rapidly to market participants, addressing the delays and inconsistencies inherent in crypto markets' reliance on the public internet. The new network can reduce data delivery times by tens of milliseconds, particularly during periods of high network activity, providing a competitive edge for high-frequency trading firms. The platform utilizes a private fiber network and multicast method to send data, while validators can earn additional revenue by supplying data, and traders subscribe to feeds using USDC. With the launch, DoubleZero aims to create a more level playing field by minimizing uncertainty in market data delivery, ultimately leading to tighter spreads and improved execution.
