This guide provides a technical overview of how to trade on SurgeTrade, focusing on its core infrastructure: the SurgeTrade On-Chain Orderbook and the dedicated SurgeTrade Node Network that powers it.
Step 1: Understanding the Off-Chain / On-Chain Hybrid Model
SurgeTrade achieves SurgeTrade Low-Latency Trading using a hybrid model.
Off-Chain Matching: Orders are submitted and matched by a high-performance, off-chain matching engine. This allows for CEX-level speed and real-time order book updates without gas fees for placing or canceling orders.
On-Chain Settlement: Once an order is matched, the trade is executed and settled on-chain. This maintains the non-custodial and transparent nature of DeFi.
Step 2: Interacting with the SurgeTrade API
For programmatic traders, the SurgeTrade API is the primary entry point. It provides WebSocket feeds for real-time market data and REST endpoints for order management. This allows for the implementation of complex, high-frequency trading strategies that are not possible on slower AMM-based DEXs.
Step 3: The Role of the Node Network and MEV Protection
The entire system is supported by the SurgeTrade Node Network. This is a specialized set of nodes responsible for sequencing transactions and ensuring integrity.
How it works: By using a private, dedicated network for settlement, SurgeTrade can implement proprietary SurgeTrade MEV Protection. Transactions are not broadcast to a public mempool, preventing front-running and sandwich attacks.
All trading volume, whether via the UI or API, contributes to your standing in the SurgeTrade Points Program. For a full architectural diagram, consult the Full Official Documentation.
