Launching HFTPlatform
Published 21 June 2026
Today we are launching hftplatform.com and opening HFTPlatform in private beta. Here is what it is and why we built it.
What HFTPlatform is
HFTPlatform is a full-stack, high-frequency trading platform built to take a market tick to an order in nanoseconds. It owns every layer from the wire to the order, with one clean boundary between silicon and software.
- An in-NIC FPGA fabric that decodes feeds, runs pre-trade risk, and encodes orders without ever touching the kernel.
- Vendor-neutral kernel-bypass networking behind a single API (ef_vi, TCPDirect, Onload, AF_XDP).
- A deterministic Rust control plane for feed handlers, OMS, risk, gateways, simulation, and backtesting.
Why we built it
Generic software stacks add microseconds and jitter you cannot budget for: syscalls, context switches, and garbage collection. Moving the decision into silicon makes the hot path deterministic, so the worst case is a number you can prove with on-card telemetry.
The same strategy code runs in deterministic simulation, against historical replay, and in live trading - so what you test is what you trade.
Private beta
HFTPlatform is currently invite-only. If you would like access, get in touch at hello@hftplatform.com or visit our contact page.
