An exchange doesn’t operate in isolation.
Behind it, there's an ecosystem of market makers, node operators, compute providers, and other infrastructure participants.
At TheHUB, all of them can deploy in the same physical environment as the exchange’s matching engine, with equalized network paths to the engine for colocated participants. This makes it easier for new markets to launch and existing ones to grow.
The more participants and infrastructure come together, the more useful that environment becomes for everyone.

AI is enabling a single trader to do work that once required an entire quant team: from researching strategies to writing code and optimizing models.
But making sophisticated trading strategies more accessible doesn't automatically level the playing field. In crypto, the largest firms still tend to have the shortest network paths to an exchange's matching engine, giving them an advantage that AI alone can't close.
At TheHUB, a one-person trading firm can rent compute from one of our providers and access an exchange's matching engine over the same equalized network paths to venues colocated within TheHUB.
You don't need to be the biggest firm to compete on a level playing field.

I love that @TheHUB offers bare metal in Tokyo, with full DoubleZero multicast and network connectivity built in 🫡
An exchange shouldn't have to own the physical infrastructure to offer traders a level playing field.
Exchanges colocated at TheHUB can run their own matching engines, define their own market designs, and set their own rules.
We provide the underlying infrastructure, with equalized network paths to each matching engine for colocated participants.
4/ We also released a three-minute film explaining what we’re building at TheHUB.
From equalized network paths to shared connectivity and compute options, it shows how different market participants can operate within the same purpose-built environment.

5/ And to close out October, a perspective on latency from our co-founder, @thiagorudiger.
For market makers, the worst latency spikes can matter far more than average performance.
Predictability is just as important as speed.

In market making, average latency only tells part of the story. You don’t get picked off on your average order. You get picked off when you’re in the tail.
A system doing 1ms most of the time but occasionally taking 10ms can be worse than one consistently doing 2ms.
That’s why reducing jitter matters as much as reducing latency itself. And why deterministic infrastructure all the way from market data ingestion to order entry matters.
Whether you’re a solo trader, prop shop, market maker, or hedge fund, I strongly recommend giving this series a read.
Shoutout to @Tristan0x. It’s hard to explain complex subjects in such a clear, and practical way.

I’m in Hong Kong this week for @HongKongFinTech and @CosmoverseHQ.
If you’re around, I would love to meet and talk about all things trading!
“A system doing 1ms most of the time but occasionally taking 10ms can be worse than one consistently doing 2ms.”
@thiagorudiger on why consistent latency matters as much as low latency. Worth reading in full.

Onchain trading doesn’t have to converge on a single market design. AMMs, order books, and new approaches can coexist, each with different infrastructure requirements.
TheHUB doesn’t favor one market design over another. Exchanges that run their own matching engines can deploy them inside the facility, with equalized network paths for colocated participants.
Hardware, software, and strategy remain competitive advantages for traders, but cabinet location doesn’t have to be one.
Elysium is bringing its infrastructure to Tokyo, and builders in its ecosystem can now deploy alongside it.
At TheHUB, we're offering preferred terms for @Enter_Elysium builders who want to deploy alongside the project.
No hardware purchase is required; teams can bring their own servers or use bare metal and on-prem cloud providers already operating inside TheHUB.
If you’re building on Elysium, join us on this odyssey.
“Tokyo is a center of gravity for crypto activity. It’s no coincidence that we chose it as TheHUB’s first location, and we’re glad @Kinetiq_xyz is bringing @Enter_Elysium's Hyperliquid infrastructure here.”
