Why Bitcoin Core RPC is Too Slow for High-Frequency Trading (And How to Fix It)
The article discusses the challenges of using Bitcoin Core RPC for high-frequency trading due to latency issues. It presents a solution involving a bare-metal C-engine that connects directly to the P2P network, bypassing the standard RPC. This approach allows for faster transaction processing and real-time data delivery through efficient transport layers.
- ▪Standard Bitcoin Core RPC is not designed for speed, leading to latency issues in trading.
- ▪A bare-metal C-engine can connect directly to the P2P mesh network for faster transaction processing.
- ▪Utilizing stateless HTTPS Server-Sent Events allows for real-time data delivery without overhead.

The moment you rely on polling a standard Bitcoin Core RPC, you have lost the race. The Bottleneck Standard nodes are built for consensus and safety, not speed.
