FTX announced that over the next month, the exchange is expected to roll out various improvements to its matching engine.
The exchange will roll out a new order matcher, lower latency API, and a whole slew of other features that have been in the works for almost a year now. The platform is expected to double the order throughput and half the order of latency.
Doubling the order of throughput will essentially reduce the processing time of trade orders, while halving the order of latency will reduce the time delays between when an order is placed and when the transaction is executed. This will effectively increase transactional speed on the platform and increase the possibility of placing an order at the displayed price before it changes a potential benefit for traders.
The exchange plans to roll out some of these features over the course of the next month, with major updates coming out on Nov, 21. Traders were also urged to keep in touch over the next month, as the exchange plans to preview some of its new features to be rolled out.
