B2CONNECT Update: Upgraded FIX Integration, Improved Liquidity Distribution, and Robust Connectivity

B2CONNECT, our crypto-native liquidity hub, continues its rapid evolution with the launch of its recent release! This update is packed with critical backend enhancements designed to deliver unparalleled stability and performance.

Building on the momentum from our April update, which introduced Bybit integration and key upgrades to the Coinbase API and Binance Futures Adapter, this update takes our platform’s core functionalities to the next level, delivering even greater operational advantages and stability for your brokerage business.

We've focused on significant improvements to FIX protocol support, refined our liquidity engine, upgraded crypto exchange connectivity, and introduced targeted Web UI expansions. These enhancements empower our clients with an even more robust and efficient liquidity management infrastructure.

Let's dive into what’s new in more detail.

Optimising FIX: Unshakeable Protocol Stability & Flexibility

We've made two enhancements to ensure resilient and standardised FIX protocol communication, ensuring consistent connectivity for our clients, even under the most demanding edge-case scenarios.

Smarter SecurityList FIX API Endpoint

This crucial endpoint now intelligently merges liquidity metadata from multiple providers. It ensures trading parameters are compatible across all connected sources, enabling seamless and more reliable order routing.

Rock-Solid Fast Subscribe/Unsubscribe Handling

The B2CONNECT FIX Server now robustly manages rapid subscribe/unsubscribe cycles from third-party aggregators. This resilience persists even if aggregators don't fully adhere to FIX standards, eliminating edge-case failures.

Next-Gen Liquidity Engine: Real-Time Market Clarity and Superior Execution

Our commitment to pristine market data and flawless order execution is reflected in these powerful liquidity engine upgrades.

Our newly implemented data processing logic automatically filters out Level 2 quotes with negative spreads. This Advanced Negative Spread Filtering (V2) is crucial for ensuring cleaner and more reliable liquidity distribution via FIX, significantly enhancing the quality of market data available to our clients.

To bolster operational stability, we have fortified the live API key replacement process. This enhancement ensures that when trading credentials are changed on the fly, the execution report feed remains in perfect sync with the order placement service. As a result, our clients can rotate API keys with full confidence, free from disruptions to their critical trade data.

Furthermore, error handling from liquidity providers has been significantly enhanced. Messages received from LPs are no longer incorrectly qualified as unknown errors. This crucial fix prevents redundant order placements, thereby conserving vital API rate limits and improving overall trading efficiency.

Boosting Adapter Performance & Connection Resilience

We've dramatically accelerated the speed at which connectivity issues are identified—it's now six times faster. This allows for quicker responses to potential disruptions, maintaining a smoother and more consistent trading experience for all users.

The new update also integrates a new intelligent rate limiter. This crucial feature ensures that reconnection attempts don’t lead to IP bans from exchanges, safeguarding your continuous and uninterrupted access to essential liquidity sources.

Additionally, private API access authorisation attempts now strictly adhere to timeouts. This improvement in resilient authentication recovery prevents intermittent failures and cascading issues, significantly bolstering overall connection stability and reliability.

Better Web UI Control

While this recent update heavily emphasises backend power, we’ve also rolled out Web UI enhancements for greater control.

Bybit Adapter Rate Limits via UI

You can now conveniently configure Bybit adapter rate limits directly through the user interface, alongside your credentials, streamlining setup.

Automated Symbol Availability in AMS

Newly added symbols are now automatically distributed to relevant profiles within the Account Management System (AMS), simplifying symbol configuration across your setup. This key automation eliminates manual steps, saving brokers valuable time and reducing the risk of human error.

Our Unwavering Commitment to Excellence

Beyond these headline features, the recent B2CONNECT update incorporates several minor fixes and crucial optimisations. This commitment extends to continuous internal enhancements, such as refining the symbol configuration processes of our Account Management System, ensuring greater system agility and efficiency behind the scenes.

The B2BROKER team is dedicated to providing market-leading liquidity solutions. Each B2CONNECT update reinforces our mission: to equip clients with advanced trading options, diverse connectivity, and seamless access to premier crypto liquidity.
