This speed advantage enhances transaction quality and queue positions for traders near the infrastructure, highlighting a competitive edge in decentralized finance as institutional capital enters the market." datetime: "2026-03-30T05:23:33.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280959868.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280959868.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280959868.md) --- # Study Reveals Tokyo-Based Validators Offer Faster Transactions for Hyperliquid Traders Glassnode research indicates that Hyperliquid's validator cluster is located in Amazon Web Services' Tokyo region, providing Tokyo traders with approximately 200 milliseconds faster order round-trip times compared to participants from Europe and the United States, according to PANews. This advantage results in better queue positions and transaction quality for those near the infrastructure. The study shows that the median round-trip time for orders placed from AWS Tokyo nodes to confirmation is approximately 884 milliseconds, with only 5 milliseconds attributed to network transmission and the remainder to server processing time. In contrast, the round-trip time from Virginia's Ashburn node increases to about 1079 milliseconds. Unlike traditional financial markets, which use measures like cable length equalization and speed bumps to eliminate geographical advantages, decentralized markets lack similar safeguards. As institutional capital enters DeFi, a competitive landscape where speed determines transaction priority is emerging. ### Related Stocks - [1499.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/1499.JP.md) - [PURR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PURR.US.md) - [3179.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/3179.JP.md) ## Related News & Research - [10 Emerging Hyperliquid Native Protocols Worth Watching](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287176919.md) - [Hyperliquid is trending again.
