Gate will soon be upgrading the Futures WebSocket on the live trading environment with two new features, designed to provide clients with lower-latency and higher-efficiency market data access.

1.Real-Time Best Bid/Offer (BBO) Updates

  • Launch Date: April 7, 2026, 08:00 (UTC+0)
  • Channel Name: futures.book_ticker
  • Description: Subscribe to real-time best bid and ask prices along with their quantities via WebSocket. Ideal for high-frequency strategies and quoting scenarios where market data latency is critical.

2.Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) Data Push
