In less than 4 seconds, 44 unique makers on Polymarket lost $19k to 6 takers.
在不到4秒的时间里，Polymarket上的44位独特做市商向6位吃单者损失了1.9万美元。
First trade: 1.44 seconds after LeBron's tweet Crossed 50¢: 2.26 seconds Reached 99¢: 3.98 seconds
首笔交易：勒布朗发推后1.44秒 触及50美分：2.26秒 达到99美分：3.98秒
First-come, first-served markets create zero-sum latency races that degrade long-term liquidity. This market structure is inherently taker-favored: makers must remove stale quotes before anyone else in the world can take them. Because they can be picked off during every major repricing event, they are forced to quote wider and provide less depth.
先到先得的市场造成了零和的速度竞赛，这削弱了长期流动性。这种市场结构本质上偏向吃单者：做市商必须在世界上其他人能够抢单之前撤下过时的报价。由于他们在每次重大重新定价事件中可能被“挑走”，他们被迫报出更宽的价差并提供更少的深度。
Exchanges want volume and to lead price discovery. But knowing LeBron chose Philadelphia four seconds earlier provides zero value to most users and imposes negative externalities on the traders creating the prices that observers consume.
交易所希望获得交易量并引领价格发现。但知道勒布朗提前四秒选择了费城，对大多数用户来说毫无价值，并对创造观察者所消费价格的交易者施加了负外部性。
Different market structures (batch auctions, maker-prioritized cancels) trade off marginally slower re-pricing during rare news events with deeper liquidity throughout the rest of the market.
不同的市场结构（批量拍卖、做市商优先取消）在罕见新闻事件期间以略慢的重新定价为代价，换取市场其余时间更深的流动性。
