PinnacleMM Project Roadmap

Overview

PinnacleMM is an ultra-low latency market making system designed for high-frequency trading in cryptocurrency markets. This roadmap outlines the development plan across multiple phases, with clear milestones and deliverables.

Phase 1: Foundation

Goal: Establish the core architecture and basic functionality of the system.

Deliverables

  • Core order book engine with nanosecond precision
  • Basic market making strategy implementation
  • Exchange simulator for testing
  • Thread-safe, high-performance data structures
  • Comprehensive unit tests for core components
  • Build system with CMake
  • Docker containerization

Key Features Implemented

  • Ultra-low latency order book with lock-free structures
  • Dynamic spread adjustment based on order book imbalance
  • Position and P&L tracking
  • Realistic market simulation with configurable parameters
  • High-precision timing utilities

Phase 2: Latency Optimization & Exchange Connectivity

Goal: Optimize for production-level performance and add real exchange connectivity.

Deliverables

  • Lock-free data structures for all critical paths
  • ℹ️ Kernel bypass networking using DPDK (TODO: Deferred - requires specialized hardware)
  • Memory-mapped file system for data persistence
  • Secure API credentials management with encryption
  • WebSocket integration for real-time market data
  • Real exchange connectors
    • Coinbase Pro connector - Live WebSocket with real-time market data
    • 🔄 Kraken connector (framework ready)
    • 🔄 Gemini connector (framework ready)
    • 🔄 Binance connector (framework ready)
    • 🔄 Bitstamp connector (framework ready)
  • FIX protocol support for select exchanges
  • Advanced order routing logic
  • Detailed performance benchmarking suite

Status Notes

  • DPDK Implementation: Implementation of kernel bypass networking using DPDK has been deferred. DPDK requires specialized hardware support that is not available in typical development environments, especially macOS. It also involves system-level modifications that are best implemented in a dedicated Linux environment. This component will be revisited when suitable hardware and environment are available.

PHASE 2 UPDATE
