Amazon Unveils Technology for Building Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a cloud infrastructure plan to enhance transaction processing speed and wallet security for cryptocurrency exchanges. Over two days, on October 26 and 27, the company released technical materials for building centralized and decentralized digital asset exchanges. AWS proposed utilizing Amazon EC2 and Amazon EKS to ensure fast order processing and customer asset protection for centralized exchanges. It recommended operating the trading engine in a dedicated server environment while managing user accounts and order functionalities separately. To enhance wallet security, AWS introduced the 'AWS Nitro Enclaves' technology, which isolates sensitive cryptographic operations in a secure environment. On the 27th, it revealed the technical structure of a decentralized perpetual futures exchange, comparing a hybrid structure that processes order fulfillment outside the blockchain with a fully on-chain structure. The hybrid structure can combine fast order processing with blockchain verification, while the fully on-chain structure offers high transaction transparency but may have processing speed limitations based on blockchain network performance. Additionally, the stable operation of oracles, which provide external price information, was emphasized.
