The integration allows quantitative desks and market makers to bypass the labor-intensive process of assembling book states from individual API responses. DoubleZero Edge utilizes a multicast model, broadcasting machine-readable data simultaneously to all connected subscribers. This infrastructure mirrors the high-performance delivery systems used by traditional exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ, providing a production-ready path for signal generation and hedging.
DoubleZero Edge Integrates Kalshi Prediction Market Data
Trading firms can now access Kalshi’s live order books through the DoubleZero Edge low-latency network. By shifting from standard API requests to a multicast fiber delivery model, the partnership aims to provide institutional-grade infrastructure for high-volume traders operating in prediction markets, crypto perpetuals, and sports event contracts.
Austin Federa, co-founder of DoubleZero, noted that while traditional finance has long relied on dedicated, high-speed data networks, emerging sectors like crypto and prediction markets have historically lacked similar tools. The launch includes both Level 1 and Level 2 book data for Kalshi’s most active contract categories. To encourage rapid adoption, Kalshi is waiving its revenue share for the first year, allowing pricing to reflect network delivery costs rather than data licensing fees. According to Andy Ross, Head of Institutional at Kalshi, the move is a direct response to the increasing presence of top-tier trading firms within their ecosystem that demand professional-grade connectivity.
