I can't seem to wrap my head arround any secret technology they use. I giess their trade secret is in their outstanding user interfaces that has been their unique selling point.  They have made it easy for novice and experts to be able to use their exchange easliy without stress

Lol, what do you mean by what technology binance used in making trades trigger so fast, I don't think there is anything special about how they were able to do it since it's mere programming that any developer with blockchain experience would be able to do, have you asked the technology youtube use to save video on it's platform or to stream video so fast.

Any programming language can actually be used for the development of the platform, one can make use of PHP, PYTHON, NODEJS, though devs prefers python and Nodejs for this kind of development because of its main frameworks.

The lightening fast trades in binance and bitmex look amazing. What technology makes them so super fast.

Binance or bitmex speed is nothing compared to forex speed. And forex is based on technology from a dozen years before. So its not something new and amazing to see. Its strange to see that other exchanges can't handle traffic even now when we are in bear market.
Maybe the technology behind the function of Binance and Bitmex is old, but there is something unique about it. Else it could've been same as the exchanges that's been mentioned in the quote, which are struggling to handle even the present bear market traffic. These exchanges keep themselves updated, and recently Binance has planned to develop the exchange on blockchain.

It isnt on the technology but it is about the volume of traders involved on such platforms.We do see fast trades or volatility due to number of people
who do engage with it.More people = More volatility= More activity that we would able to see thats why we can say that its too fast and theres no such technology behind it.

What do you mean "fast"?

I think the other exchanges like Poloniex, Bittrex, will do the same as Binance and Bitmex. Maybe it's because you see the buy and sell order moving faster, so you think that is fast. And if that is what you mean, then if many traders traded on one exchange and trade only for 1 coin, then the price will move faster than usual.

You can check on Bitcoin pair usdt when there is good or bad news, the price will up and down so fast and makes you confuse to place the order. I don't think that it's because the technology but maybe it's because the script that has been used by each exchange will not be the same so it will affect the trading itself.

I think that due to their large capital resources and the trust of many investors. That is the key factor that helps BNB develop their technology in the best way. When internal in business is good, everything will work very effectively. BNB and Bitmex have a lot of talent in programming. they always make exchange different and better every day.

Well, I guess there's no technology behind it. It's just there are so many people trading constantly over Binance and Bitmex that's why you see "fast" trades.

I dont understand with the meaning of "fast" here? Is this related to speed of the system or the speed of your trade? Speed of the system means something related to technology and speed of your trades means something related to the traffic. Since you are talking about technology so I think you are referring to the speed of the system/feature (in gambling, usually called by betting speed). This system/technology might be a secret because of competition, as long as you can do fast speed then I do not think it is needed to know the technology.

I think the technology of each exchange is the same but the different is the feature and other product. The transaction buy and sell so fast because they have alot of trader, so the key to make it is how to offer best feature and best product so alot of many new people interesting to use the platform. Binance offer very low trading fee and alot of trading competition so many trader will prefer to use it.

We don't know what technologies they used. But I only think that they have a large data server and can runs fast without any problem. The most important for any website to load faster is only used data hosting which can give a fast speed of the connection. That is out from DEX, Centralized, and other things, because without having a fast connection, they cannot serve fast trades to their members and every pair will get a lack of speed to make the trade.

Maybe you can ask with their support system so you can know what technology they already used but I am not sure that they will tell you about that because that is their secret and they will prevent other people knows about the technology Grin

That happening because they have amillion of active user, crypto is global and user of both exchange is from alot of country. Alot of trader on the platform that make transaction so the spread low and we get best liquidity. So every exchange that want to have high trading volume should be offer something different that interesting to attrack trader from around the world.

I don't know about Bitmex but Binance has a well thought out platform.

It helped that they raised a decent size ICO to develop the platform and the value of the funds raised increased in the bull market. Then after they launched they were able to take advantage of the bull market and their trading volume was huge. A lot of this was used for further development of the platform.

They have a number of bots and triggers that alert them with security related issues on the exchange.

Their ban on certain bot activity (e.g. excessive polling) and penalizing those bots with "time out" helps keep their trade engine fast.

Quote
The /api/v1/exchangeInfo rateLimits array contains objects related to the exchange's RAW_REQUEST, REQUEST_WEIGHT, and ORDER rate limits. These are further defined in the ENUM definitions section under Rate limiters (rateLimitType).
A 429 will be returned when either rate limit is violated.
Each route has a weight which determines for the number of requests each endpoint counts for. Heavier endpoints and endpoints that do operations on multiple symbols will have a heavier weight.
When a 429 is recieved, it's your obligation as an API to back off and not spam the API.
Repeatedly violating rate limits and/or failing to back off after receiving 429s will result in an automated IP ban (http status 418).
IP bans are tracked and scale in duration for repeat offenders, from 2 minutes to 3 days.

Binance, and Bitmex, Deribit, OKex + few more from the big exchanges, support WebSocket feeds for prices, orders, positions, etc. So when you open a WS feed, you don't need to make REST API calls and break those limits. E.g. bots are rarely banned if they don't do anything stupid like flooding the order book with min orders for hours. I have bots in all above and never had any ban problems.

Bitmex is awful and almost always overloaded on high trades. Binance doesn't have those problems.
It's matter of software and nothing else because all trades are off-chain. If you are looking for blazing fast futures, you should try Deribit. They doesn;t have the Bitmex overload problem eve during high load.

What keeps the trade on binance and bitmex is the high trade volume of coins available. Binance and Bitmex are top ranks exchanges and top performing exchanges now, no wonder there are lots of trader engaging to them. Just imagine a one stop shop that has a variety of goods/services that you can buy easily, more likely ' buy n go' scenario.

I don't find anything specific with them, their increased trading volume of each and every cryptocurrency listed is the major reason for the lightening speed of the trades. Further they used to have a continued updation which most of the exchanges won't. Specifically I see Binance to be high investment exchange of all time.

The trading activity buy and sell transaction fast on that exchange because they has high trading volume. So to have high trading volume that exchange should be attrack so many trader, and to attrack it they should be offer good product, good customer support and high security.

I think they have great financial strength, besides the technology they use there are also trading bots that will execute the trade. Network support from business partners that make binance labs dare to create the DEX market. More importantly, they have good service. Poloniex also experienced the same thing, but when the service quality declined they were left by customers. So the strength that exists in the market is the quality of service.
