Technical Infrastructure
Engineered at the speed of the wire.
Four vertically integrated layers, owned end to end. No third-party hop sits between a signal and the exchange, or between a fill and the books.
01The Stack
L0
Network & Silicon
Kernel-bypass NICs, FPGA risk gates and PTP-disciplined clocks across metro fibre and microwave links.

- Tick capture since 1998
- 120+ alt-data vendors
- Hash-pinned datasets
- Point-in-time joins
1.8 TB hot store
L3
Portfolio & Operations
Convex optimizers, shadow books, treasury and settlement — one ledger from signal to statement.
