Wall Street-style market data is coming to crypto: DoubleZero Foundation this week launched DoubleZero Edge, a high-speed data platform designed to deliver real-time Solana blockchain feeds to trading firms with significantly lower latency.
The first product from DoubleZero Edge is a raw, real-time feed of Solana transaction data. By partnering with validators to tap directly into Solana’s transaction stream, the platform bypasses the slower, public-internet routes most crypto participants use and pushes data to subscribers over a private fiber network using multicast — the same distribution technique used by traditional equities markets.
That architectural shift is measurable: DoubleZero says the network can cut data delivery times by tens of milliseconds, with larger improvements when the Solana network is busy. For market-making and high-frequency trading firms, those shaved milliseconds can translate into better price discovery, tighter spreads and improved execution quality.
DoubleZero is also introducing a new economic model for onchain data. Validators supplying the feed can earn extra revenue, while trading firms subscribe to the real-time streams and pay in USDC. The setup aims to make onchain pricing information more predictable and commercially viable for infrastructure providers and market participants alike.
Crypto markets today still largely rely on the public internet for market data, a patchwork that can create delays and inconsistent delivery. “Traditional finance has spent decades building infrastructure where speed and deterministic performance are a real competitive advantage,” said Andrew McConnell, a DoubleZero co-founder, in a press release shared with CoinDesk. “On-chain markets didn't get that foundation, which left even sophisticated trading firms working on uneven ground. Deterministic infrastructure removes a risk market makers have to price in, which leads to tighter spreads and better execution.”
The launch reflects growing demand from trading shops for Wall Street-grade systems in digital-asset markets as competition increases and margins compress. By offering faster, more deterministic access to Solana’s high-throughput data, DoubleZero Edge positions itself as infrastructure that could narrow the gap between traditional and onchain market microstructure.
