What is godzilla.dev?

godzilla.dev is not a retail trading bot — it is production-grade trading infrastructure. It combines an ultra low-latency C++ execution core with a flexible Python strategy layer, and is designed to run co-located next to exchange matching engines (e.g. AWS availability zones used by major exchanges).

Trading teams and individual quants use godzilla.dev to run:

• Funding rate arbitrage — delta-neutral spot–perp and cross-exchange funding rate strategies on centralized exchanges
• Market making — ultra low-latency pure market making that quotes both sides of the book
• Custom low-latency strategies — any automated strategy built on the same execution core

The codebase is free and publicly available under the Apache 2.0 license. Our mission is to democratize high-frequency trading: infrastructure that was once exclusive to quant funds, now open to everyone.

Why godzilla.dev?

• C++ execution core. Order placement, cancellation, and market data handling run in C++ for microsecond-level tick-to-trade latency — while strategies stay in Python for fast iteration. In the reproducible journal-only benchmark (WHITEPAPER.md), the native path shows a median tick-to-trade of ~125 μs measured on a commodity laptop-class CPU; co-located server hardware with tuned kernels represents a different operating point.
• Self-hosted and private. godzilla.dev is local software, not a web platform. Your API keys, private keys, and strategy configuration never leave machines you control.
• Co-location ready. Installed from source and managed with pm2, following the same workflow you use to deploy on a co-located AWS machine.
• Open source, community-driven. Exchange connectors and strategy templates are maintained by the Godzilla Foundation together with a global community of algo traders.
• Enterprise private deployment. For funds and funding rate arbitrage teams that need a fully self-hosted stack with support, see godzilla.dev Enterprise.

How is godzilla.dev different from typical bot frameworks?

| | godzilla.dev | Typical Python bot frameworks | |---|---|---| | Execution core | C++ (Python strategy layer) | Pure Python | | Latency profile | Designed for co-located, microsecond-level HFT | Second/millisecond-level, latency-tolerant strategies | | Deployment | Self-hosted, co-location first | Local or cloud, latency not a design goal | | Primary use cases | Funding rate arbitrage, HFT market making | Grid/DCA bots, general automation | | Target users | Prop traders, market makers, arbitrage teams | Retail users, hobbyists |

Frameworks like Hummingbot are excellent for breadth of connectors and community strategies; godzilla.dev focuses on latency-critical, self-hosted execution for professional market making and arbitrage.

Getting started

1. Read the Installation guide — we recommend installing from source, the same way you deploy to a co-located machine.
2. Explore the Strategies documentation and run your first strategy.
3. Follow the Learning series — step-by-step tutorials from Python basics to AI-assisted quant workflows.

中文简介

</div>

godzilla.dev 是一个开源的 C++/Python 基础设施，用于自托管（self-hosted）的加密货币资金费率套利与做市，具备超低延迟架构，并支持企业级私有化部署。

godzilla.dev 不是零售型交易机器人，而是生产级的交易基础设施：C++ 撮合级低延迟执行内核 + Python 策略层，为交易所同机房（co-location）部署而设计。交易团队和个人量化交易者用它来运行：

• 资金费率套利 —— 现货–永续、跨交易所的 Delta 中性资金费策略
• 做市 —— 超低延迟的双边挂单做市
• 自定义低延迟策略 —— 基于同一执行内核构建任意自动化策略

代码库基于 Apache 2.0 开源许可证免费公开。我们的使命是让高频交易民主化：把曾经只属于量化基金的基础设施，开放给每一个人。

企业级私有化部署（面向资金费率套利团队与机构）请见 godzilla.dev Enterprise。
