DoubleZero希望将高频交易优化带给区块链

他们要么代码脚本要执行快速交易，以赚取少量利润，乘以一到一千倍以上，从而产生了严重的现金。

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.

高频交易者是华尔街的狂热者。他们要么代码脚本要执行快速交易，以赚取少量利润，乘以一到一千倍以上，从而产生了严重的现金。或者，他们能够比竞争对手更快地行动毫秒，从而在市场波动中获得大赌注。速度是最重要的，这就是为什么HFT交易者创建了自己的Internet电缆专用网络的原因 - 现在，一个名为DoubleZero的加密项目也希望这样做以加快区块链的速度。

"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.

“我们可以使用一套完全不同的技术，这些技术基本上是标准的，并且在高频交易世界中实际上是事实……但是在公共互联网上没有可用，因此以前从未将它们应用于区块链，” DoubleZero的Austin Federa，DoubleZero的共同创始人，也是Solana Found的前执行官Austin Federa告诉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.

费德拉（Federa）的项目与迈克尔·刘易斯（Michael Lewis）著名的HFT书籍Flash Boys中的公司同样痴迷，已经吸引了资金。该项目背后的实体之一DoubleZero Foundation在3月初宣布，它已在Marquee Crypto Investors Multicoin Capital和Draginfly Capital领导的一轮种子回合中筹集了2800万美元。贡献的其他风险投资公司是基金会资本，互惠风险投资，DBA，无边界资本，SupersCrypt和无摩擦。费德拉说，为了换取现金，投资者获得了令牌认股权证，或者承诺分配尚未发出的加密货币。

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.

像任何云计算网络一样，区块链具有处理用户交易并运行程序员应用程序的物理服务器。 Federa说，目前，当用来为Solana区块链提供动力的服务器需要相互通信时，这些信号在公共互联网基础架构上运行。 DoubleZero的目标是创建一个专用电缆网络，以加快区块链的处理能力。

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公司跳跃交易的数字资产子公司Jump Crypto，Malbec Labs是DoubleZero背后的工程实体。费德拉说，他们不会铺设物理电缆来构建网络。无论如何还没有。相反，该公司将HFT公司，私人公司甚至个人的未充分利用的带宽拼凑而成，以建立比当前可用于区块链的电缆更快的电缆物理网络。

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.

为了确保像一个区块链一样，这个物理网络也是分散的，Federa的基础计划启动自己的加密货币，以奖励那些为该项目贡献带宽的人。

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.

费德拉的其他联合创始人是Mateo Ward和Andrew McConnell。沃德（Ward）是Netrona Networks的前首席执行官，NeTrona Networks是一家专门用于建立私人互联网网络的跳跃交易公司。麦康奈尔（McConnell）曾是跳高的顶级工程师。
