The Pod: Land or Lose in Transaction Landing
summary
Claims a colocation execution layer called Zilla that compiles trader Rust into WASM and runs it next to validators in 6 global nodes (Tokyo, Dubai, Frankfurt, Prague, New York, Salt Lake City) to cut end‑to‑end latency. Demonstrated landing variability (366/400 in one run), a 3.12 ms local execution and 72 ms remote execution, and cites market pain: ~$200–300K infra start cost, $1.3B paid in priority fees, 1.3% landing rate on some validators and 24% drops. Provides data, low‑latency CEX connectivity, and capital.
