DoubleZero希望將高頻交易優化帶給區塊鏈

他們要么代碼腳本要執行快速交易，以賺取少量利潤，乘以一到一千倍以上，從而產生了嚴重的現金。

High-frequency traders are the whiz kids of Wall Street. They either code scripts to execute quick trades to eke out small profits that, multiplied by one or ten thousand times over, result in serious cash. Or they’re able to act milliseconds faster than competitors to score big bets on market swings. Speed is paramount, which is why HFT traders have created their own private networks of internet cables—now, a crypto project called DoubleZero wants to do the same to speed up blockchains.

高頻交易者是華爾街的狂熱者。他們要么代碼腳本要執行快速交易，以賺取少量利潤，乘以一到一千倍以上，從而產生了嚴重的現金。或者，他們能夠比競爭對手更快地行動毫秒，從而在市場波動中獲得大賭注。速度是最重要的，這就是為什麼HFT交易者創建了自己的Internet電纜專用網絡的原因 - 現在，一個名為DoubleZero的加密項目也希望這樣做以加快區塊鏈的速度。

"We can use a whole different set of technologies that have basically been standard and de facto in the high-frequency trading world…but are not available over the public internet, so they've never been applied to blockchain before," Austin Federa, cofounder of DoubleZero and a former executive at the Solana Foundation, told Fortune.

“我們可以使用一套完全不同的技術，這些技術基本上是標準的，並且在高頻交易世界中實際上是事實……但是在公共互聯網上沒有可用，因此以前從未將它們應用於區塊鏈，” DoubleZero的Austin Federa，DoubleZero的共同創始人，也是Solana Found的前執行官Austin Federa告訴Fortune。

Federa’s project, which has the same obsession with speed as the firms in Michael Lewis's famous HFT book Flash Boys, has already attracted capital. DoubleZero Foundation, one of the entities behind the project, announced in early March that it had raised $28 million in a seed round led by marquee crypto investors Multicoin Capital and Dragonfly Capital. Other venture capital firms that contributed were Foundation Capital, Reciprocal Ventures, DBA, Borderless Capital, Superscrypt, and Frictionless. In exchange for their cash, investors received token warrants, or promised allocations of a yet-to-be-launched cryptocurrency, Federa said.

費德拉（Federa）的項目與邁克爾·劉易斯（Michael Lewis）著名的HFT書籍Flash Boys中的公司同樣痴迷，已經吸引了資金。該項目背後的實體之一DoubleZero Foundation在3月初宣布，它已在Marquee Crypto Investors Multicoin Capital和Draginfly Capital領導的一輪種子回合中籌集了2800萬美元。貢獻的其他風險投資公司是基金會資本，互惠風險投資，DBA，無邊界資本，SupersCrypt和無摩擦。費德拉說，為了換取現金，投資者獲得了令牌認股權證，或者承諾分配尚未發出的加密貨幣。

And like any cloud computing network, blockchains have physical servers that process users’ transactions and run programmers’ apps. Currently, when servers that power the Solana blockchain, for example, need to communicate with each other, those signals run over public internet infrastructure, said Federa. DoubleZero aims to create a private network of cables to speed up a blockchain’s processing power.

像任何云計算網絡一樣，區塊鏈具有處理用戶交易並運行程序員應用程序的物理服務器。 Federa說，目前，當用來為Solana區塊鏈提供動力的服務器需要相互通信時，這些信號在公共互聯網基礎架構上運行。 DoubleZero的目標是創建一個專用電纜網絡，以加快區塊鏈的處理能力。

Jump Crypto, the digital assets subsidiary of HFT firm Jump Trading, and Malbec Labs are the engineering entities behind DoubleZero. They won’t be laying down physical cables to construct the network, said Federa. Not yet, anyway. Rather, the company is cobbling together underutilized bandwidth from HFT firms, private companies, and even individuals to build out a faster physical network of cables than what is currently available for blockchains.

HFT公司跳躍交易的數字資產子公司Jump Crypto，Malbec Labs是DoubleZero背後的工程實體。費德拉說，他們不會鋪設物理電纜來構建網絡。無論如何還沒有。相反，該公司將HFT公司，私人公司甚至個人的未充分利用的帶寬拼湊而成，以建立比當前可用於區塊鏈的電纜更快的電纜物理網絡。

And to make sure that, just like a blockchain, this physical network is decentralized, Federa’s foundation plans to launch its own cryptocurrency to reward those who contribute bandwidth to the project.

為了確保像一個區塊鏈一樣，這個物理網絡也是分散的，Federa的基礎計劃啟動自己的加密貨幣，以獎勵那些為該項目貢獻帶寬的人。

Federa’s other cofounders are Mateo Ward and Andrew McConnell. Ward is the former CEO of Neutrona Networks, a portfolio company of Jump Trading that specialized in building private internet networks. And McConnell was a former top engineer at Jump.

費德拉的其他聯合創始人是Mateo Ward和Andrew McConnell。沃德（Ward）是Netrona Networks的前首席執行官，NeTrona Networks是一家專門用於建立私人互聯網網絡的跳躍交易公司。麥康奈爾（McConnell）曾是跳高的頂級工程師。
