Hello, Deribit has deployed its new "Starbase" matching engine in Equinix LD4, running alongside their classic API stack. For this high-performance layer, they have implemented a native binary protocol using Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) and a standard FIX 5.0 SP2 Drop Copy feed for full account-wide order lifecycle tracking. According to their published metrics, median latency is now at 76 microseconds (https://insights.deribit.com/exchange-updates/deribits-new-matching-engine-from-milliseconds-to-microseconds/). As Sierra Chart already operates its server infrastructure and Teton routing directly within the same colocation facilities (LD4), the physical and technical infrastructure is identical. This completely eliminates the previous arguments regarding non-standard protocols or unreliable web-based APIs of crypto exchanges. Starbase provides the exact native binary and FIX protocols required for stable trade execution. Since the required institutional trading interfaces are now fully available in LD4, are there internal plans to support a direct connection for native trading execution (Chart-Trader/DOM) to the Deribit Starbase gateway? Technical references and documentation: https://docs.deribit.com/starbase/overview Thank you. |

Understood, my mistake regarding London (so you are only centered around Aurora/Cermak). Given that Sierra Chart already processes the Deribit data stream perfectly, what is the actual technical bottleneck for order execution? Is it because it does not natively run on your custom DTC protocol? Is it the development time? Or is it simply a strict corporate decision to refuse integration with cryptocurrency exchanges altogether? Clarity on the actual reason would be appreciated. |

Sierra Chart has no presence in Cermak. Absolutely terrible data center. We left that hellhole years ago. People really do not know the inner reality of these data centers. This reason: Is it the development time?

Personally, I think it would be a smart move for SC since Coinbase recently acquired Deribit, and Coinbase has around 115 million registered users with around 10% of them transacting monthly. Since crypto is gaining wider acceptance in the US and the CFTC and SEC are pushing forward with clearer crypto rules around tokenized stocks, etc (despite the failure of the Clarity Act), it makes sense that at some point Coinbase will start pushing Deribit more agressively. Also, Deribit are now positioning themselves as an "institution-grade" platform with their new FIX API and Coinbase has the largest institutional userbase of any crypto exchange, so it's reasonable to assume that Coinbase and Deribit would appreciate and support an SC integration. So the integration could end up being a healthy source of new users and revenue for all parties. Since development resources seem to be your primary concern, it may be worth reaching out to Coinbase and Deribit to see whether they would be willing to allocate development resources to the integration. I know you were considering integrating with Coinbase in the past, but Deribit would probably be the smarter move since leveraged "perps" are the most popular trading instrument for active crypto traders, which is why hyperliquid has done so well recently.
