Architecture

The structural transformation of trading venues represents a fundamental shift from monolithic, centralized order matching engines toward decentralized, automated protocols.

Market participants prioritize this transition to eliminate intermediaries, thereby reducing systemic risk and operational overhead in high-frequency environments.
