FAQ about PAX Markets

QWhat kind of platform is PAX Markets?

An ultra-low-latency crypto exchange that uses patented λ API technology to give institutions and pros nanosecond matching, zero fees and cash rebates.

QHow does the λ API differ from ordinary trading APIs?

λ API is event-driven and chip-co-located: you upload predicates that fire orders instantly when market data hits your condition—no network hop, no delay.

QWho should use PAX Markets?

Built for HFT teams, algo MMs and quant funds, but retail traders also get zero-fee access and rebates—anyone who cares about speed and cost.

QHow are trading fees structured?

No maker/taker fees; most users receive cash rebates. Revenue comes from selling premium λ API speed tiers, not from trade commissions.

QHow is execution speed guaranteed?

Patented “co-location on a chip” keeps orders inside the matching engine, eliminating network latency and delivering nanosecond fills—up to 1,000× faster than conventional venues.

QWhat API options are available?

Standard REST/WebSocket for everyday automation and λ API for microsecond event-driven execution.

QIs PAX Markets regulated?

The operating entity secured a New York State trust charter in 2015 and is supervised by NYDFS.
