Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) in a series of tweets on October 10 announced upcoming improvements to the FTX crypto exchange. He believes FTX: V2 will be live after rolling out a bunch of improvements on November 21.

“We’re planning to roll out some of the features over the course of the next month. But a bunch will come on November 21st, 2022. At that point, FTX: V2 will be live.”

The FTX team has started rolling out several improvements to the FTX’s matching engine. The developments include a new order matcher, lower latency API pathways, and other vital features.

“Finally, a huge thanks to our growing dev team: turning sleepless nights into higher order throughput and lower API latency.”
