Our commitment to delivering high-quality, live, and historical market data in a standardised format means researchers and system builders can focus on analysis, not data integration.
As an experienced high-frequency trading team, we've never been fully satisfied with existing digital asset market data solutions, so we decided to create our own.
If you have complex or tough digital asset market data requirements get in touch to discuss our solutions.
Combined, these data points offer as comprehensive understanding of market behaviour as possible for markets where individual order information (L3 data) is not the norm.
Thread: What’s on LO:TECH’s Reading List?
We’ve been diving into some insightful reads, here's some light reading for those curious about what’s piqued our interest lately 👇
It's been great working on delivering OneMarketData a bespoke digital asset data solution that utilises the same underlying low-latency infrastructure we use in our proprietary market making.
It's our philosophy at LO:TECH that trading firms make the best trading solutions.
The market-making environment has grown more complex, especially with the rise of DEXs and AMMs. Token projects now require market makers that can manage orders across multiple venues in real-time, maintaining precise risk neutrality and consistent liquidity.
Evaluate your market maker based on tangible KPIs—bid-offer spread, liquidity at specified depths, and system uptime. The right partner will offer tools to monitor these metrics in real-time and be transparent about their performance.
Unlock the power of tick-by-tick market data. Our latest article, “Why Every Tick Matters” reveals how granular insights can transform your trading, compliance, and research strategies. Gain insights that could reshape your approach to market analysis :
Token projects should insist on transparency in their market maker’s technology. The ability to maintain a precise, real-time order book across multiple venues is non-negotiable for ensuring accurate market data and effective trading strategies.
Today’s market makers must demonstrate advanced algorithmic capabilities. This involves real-time recalibration of orders, adapting to market shifts instantly, and ensuring depth across centralised and decentralised platforms.
2/ Stat Arb on AMMs & Block Building in Ethereum: It’s not just arbitrage.
@greenfield_cap
dives into the complexities and unexpected influence on block building. A must-read for understanding the evolving DeFi trading strategies. Check it out:
At LO:TECH, we solve this issue by actively maintaining API integrations across multiple trading venues. Our users only need to integrate with one API to access comprehensive, tick-level market data.
The snapshot-plus-depth update model used by most crypto venues demands meticulous order book reconstruction. Missing even a single update can lead to inaccurate market views, which can cause serious mispricing issues.
A critical point: market makers should not be involved in price management. Their role is purely to provide liquidity, not to influence token price. Any suggestion otherwise is a red flag, potentially leading to regulatory complications.
Extracting and standardising data from multiple sources is essential for accurate analysis and rapid decision-making. However, this task can be daunting due to the diverse formats involved.
We hope these articles provide some valuable insights into the current and future state of crypto trading. If there's anything you'd recommend we add to our reading list, we're always open to suggestions!
Order book ticks give a broader view, showing updates across price-quantity pairs for both bids and asks, alongside timestamps and sequence IDs to maintain data accuracy.

outlines opportunities between mid and high-frequency trading. Potential for new models to disrupt the status quo. If you’re looking at the next frontier in quant trading, start here:
Top-of-book ticks - a subset of order book ticks - focus on the best available prices and quantities at a given moment, capturing the highest bid and lowest ask prices.
Whether it's delivered as trade ticks, order book ticks, or top-of-book ticks, most market data is really information about orders and how they are changing - ticks reflect this.
A tick is the smallest unit of data that represents a market event, such as a trade execution or an update to an order book, providing new information about trades, order prices, order quantities, or timing in financial markets.
Trade ticks record individual transactions (two orders matching), providing details on the time, quantity, price, and whether the trade was buyer or seller-initiated.
