Prediction Market Arbitrage Project Launch and Technology Selection

Quantitative Finance

👤 Readers interested in prediction markets, high-frequency trading, Rust programming, or technical project development
This article describes the prediction market arbitrage project launched on February 8, 2026, which falls under the high-frequency trading (HFT) category and has extremely high requirements for execution efficiency. The technology selection decision is to use Rust language to build a low-latency trading execution system to cope with the rapid elimination of arbitrage opportunities. The team's current technology stack is limited, and they plan to advance the project through vibe coding, taking this opportunity to deeply learn the Rust ecosystem and toolchain in preparation for future projects. The article also mentions that the team previously had basic Rust experience with Solana smart contracts but not in-depth, and they look forward to embracing challenges through this project.

It is Sunday morning, February 8, 2026.

Over the weekend, C1 went skiing again, and Mage returned home after the holiday, ready to kick off a new project: Prediction Market Arbitrage.

Arbitrage opportunities in prediction markets are relatively scattered, but the arbitrage hedging structure is very clear. This means any arbitrageur will decisively execute arbitrage, quickly eliminating the arbitrage opportunities. Therefore, prediction market arbitrage places very high demands on execution efficiency.

Thus, this is a High-Frequency Trading (HFT) project. From a technology selection perspective, it requires using the Rust language to implement a low-latency trading execution system. We'll need to write it in Rust. Given our team's current tech stack, it seems we'll have to start with vibe coding for now. Fortunately, Rust's compiler is robust and can help us communicate issues with AI.

This is a good opportunity to familiarize ourselves with Rust's ecosystem and toolchain, preparing for the future. I had some exposure to Rust when working on Solana smart contracts before, but I didn't dive too deep into it.

Looking forward to the challenges ahead!
