_Later this month, Temple Digital Group will deploy_ **_Lightspeed_**_, a new proprietary trading engine developed to support more users, more liquidity, and a significant increase in TPS._

## **_New Architecture_**

_Lightspeed moves order matching and asset management off-chain while preserving atomic on-chain settlement. The result is centralized-exchange performance with Canton native finality, privacy. and composability with existing financial infrastructure on Canton._

## **_Better User Experience_**

_Lightspeed transitions to the familiar deposit-and-withdrawal model. By pre-authorizing assets, Temple is able to eliminate individual per-trade signature requirements while remaining fully non-custodial._

## **_Wallet Support_**

_The Lightspeed architecture will support new wallet integrations, multi-signature wallets, and the ability to connect wallet accounts associated with validators._
