godzilla.dev is an open-source C++/Python framework for self-hosted crypto funding rate arbitrage and ultra low-latency market making, maintained by the Godzilla Foundation. It is modular and extensible, allowing users to automate any latency-sensitive trading strategy on infrastructure they fully control.

Getting Started

We recommend installing godzilla.dev from source, as this matches how you will deploy it on a co-located machine. See Source Installation for the basic process.

Afterwards, check out godzilla.dev Strategies for step-by-step tutorials and worked examples.

How godzilla.dev Works

godzilla.dev separates responsibilities into market-data (md), strategy, and trade (td) processes that communicate through a shared-memory event journal. The market-data process normalizes venue feeds, the strategy layer (Python or C++) turns events into order requests, and the trade process handles venue-specific execution. This process isolation means a connector can be restarted without touching strategies, and every event is recorded for replay and post-trade analysis. Processes are managed with pm2, which is the recommended setup on a co-located deployment.

Official Code Repositories

All godzilla.dev code is maintained in repositories on the official Godzilla Foundation GitHub, by the Foundation alongside individual community members, and released under the Apache 2.0 license. Please download godzilla.dev software only from these official sources.

Getting Help

If you encounter issues or have questions, here's how you can get assistance:

Learning Series

The godzilla.dev Learning Series provides free educational resources covering quantitative trading, low-latency systems, C++, Python, market making, and funding rate arbitrage infrastructure. These materials are designed to help developers understand how modern quantitative trading systems are built before deploying production-ready systems.
