Matching Engine
As the world of institutional cryptocurrency trading continues to grow and evolve, it becomes increasingly important for exchanges to have a high-performing and reliable matching engine. At the core of any cryptocurrency exchange, the matching engine plays a crucial role in ensuring that trades are executed quickly, accurately, and fairly.
What is an Exchange Matching Engine?
An exchange matching engine is a system responsible for matching buy and sell orders on a cryptocurrency exchange. When a user places an order to buy or sell a cryptocurrency, the matching engine matches it with an opposing order of equal or similar value. This ensures that both parties get the best possible price while executing the trade, updating the order book, and keeping track of balances.

to the user experience
and can have a
significant impact on the success of the exchange. In a market that is
constantly evolving,
exchanges need to be
able to handle an increasing number of transactions to keep up with
demand.
Any delay or latency in executing
trades can cause significant losses to traders and
negatively impact the reputation of the exchange.
