Also advanced market data streaming with a Rust-based WebSocket path, a DydxDataClient, instrument management, and expanded bar aggregation to support live and historical data. Impact: Provides a scalable, reliable foundation for automated trading and market analytics, improves risk controls through reconciliation and robust testing, and reduces time-to-value for integrating new venues with TLS-enabled gRPC execution.

October 2025 focused on delivering a robust Hyperliquid-enabled execution and data streaming capability for Nautilus Trader. Key features delivered include a Rust-based Hyperliquid Execution Client with order submission, cancellation, and support for market/limit/conditional orders, live execution streaming, reconciliation, and credential management, along with adapter refinements that push complexity into the Rust layer for maintainability. In parallel, real-time Hyperliquid Market Data Streaming via WebSocket was implemented to stream trades, order books, and candles with symbol/network filtering and graceful shutdown. Notable stability improvements include fixes to L1 signing with direct MessagePack serialization and WebSocket lookup optimizations, improving reliability and throughput. These efforts together enable faster, more reliable order routing and richer market data, driving improved trading decisions, risk management, and automated workflows. Technologies demonstrated include Rust and Python adapter integration, WebSocket streaming, MessagePack serialization, typed enums, and robust error handling.
