Tonight we had a discussion with Vahan Sardaryan, CEO & Founder of LDA Technologies, to talk about their new STAC-T0 Benchmark which set the bar surprisingly low, 98 nanoseconds, for network tick to trade latency.

During that call, we reviewed the following:

• What is the significance of 98 nanoseconds?
• Who worked with LDA to make this possible?
• In layman’s terms, how was the feat accomplished?
• The jitter of the solution was six to nine nanoseconds.
• What is the significance of having STAC validate this achievement?
• This was months worth of work, what sort of ghost hunting was required?
• Who could benefit from this technological advance?
• The report highlights a measurement of -68 nanoseconds, can we trade into the future?
• Where do we go from here, and can the bar be set even lower?

Scott would like to apologize for the quality of this podcast as both him and Vahan had to dial into the recording system due to, you guessed it, networking issues.
