Robert Sags(@RobertSagurton):TradFi matching engines have reached a pinnacle. They’ve evolved over decades through trial and error servicing the sharpest low-latency traders in the world. There’s just not much more we’re going to iterate on there. But the total experience is lacking given archaic pre-trade intermediaries for margin and credit, and slow post-trade “T+ Eternity” settlement. A DEX that can equal on execution experience but excel on the pre and post trade benefits of blockchains and tokens, will finally be able to compete. That’s the gap we’re closing.
