Click.Trade reduces 90% in network costs with Latitude.sh
Click.Trade is becoming a major player in the crypto trading space, positioning itself as more than just another bot or trading terminal. It’s the execution engine and the interfaces for web3’s trading ecosystem—the rails and the terminal rolled into one. Built for speed, security, and scale, Click is redefining what it means to trade on-chain.
At its core, Click is a full-stack, non-custodial trading platform powered by proprietary infrastructure. Validator-co-located servers, sub-millisecond routing, Nitro-enclave secured wallets, and a custom transaction router make Click faster than anything and consistently top-of-book. This is infrastructure as an edge - from click to chain in under 5ms.
But it is more than raw performance. Traders get an ecosystem of connected infrastructure and surfaces: a Telegram bot, Chrome extension, and professional-grade terminal with real-time data feeds, wallet intelligence, and clear signals. No bouncing between apps, no blind spots, only one seamless trading environment with all instruments at your fingertips.
As their CTO, Daniel Harper, puts it, “Our edge comes from building the whole stack ourselves — RPC, indexer, router, wallets. That’s why we’re faster and more reliable than anyone else.”
In other words, they're building the infrastructure that makes lightning-fast crypto trading possible, while never touching custody and letting users earn Click Points, tying trading volume to value.
It's an ambitious model aimed at competing head-on with established names in the Web3 industry and carving out a unique position as a crypto-native trading ecosystem.
Every great partnership has an origin story
Scaling Click’s edge required a partner who understood crypto infra. Latitude.sh delivered.
The path to Latitude.sh wasn't through a traditional sales pitch or a Google search. Instead, it came from seeing multiple endorsements from active Web3 folks over time.
"The simple answer is just Twitter," Harper laughs. "So Gakonst,…, the CTO of Paradigm. He shouted out Latitude many times some time ago on Twitter when talking about infra for Reth."
That recommendation planted a seed, and as Harper continued working in the MEV space on Binance Smart Chain, where Latitude.sh's name kept coming up.
"It's been in my mind since then, now I finally had the opportunity to actually get some service, get some RPC nodes running," he recalls. When the time came to scale up their infrastructure, Latitude.sh was the obvious choice.
"On top of that, Latitude is just well-known within the crypto scene as a reliable source. So it was a no-brainer to check it out, and it had what we needed."

Two strikes later, there was Latitude.sh
Like many growing crypto companies, Click.Trade had outgrown its initial setup. They'd been running on Hetzner and OVH, but those platforms just weren't cutting it anymore. The problem? “Hardware limitations required for Solana setups, together with worse latency.", according to their team.
When you're running RPC nodes for a trading platform, every millisecond matters, and subpar hardware simply wasn't an option.
What drew them to Latitude.sh was something you don't find everywhere:
"A mix of good hardware, good locations, popularity within crypto, and giving a co-location-like experience out of the box."
Daniel Harper, CTO
The team currently runs Solana nodes on a hybrid-cloud setup, though optimizing it wasn't always straightforward: "We have the Latitude servers and the AWS stack, so we use a private connection to communicate between them, basically," Lindström explains.
For Solana compute needs, Click.Trade chose Latitude.sh from the start, recognizing that AWS would be more than three times as expensive for servers, plus the downsides of virtualization. But the real cost impact came from rethinking their networking architecture.
Initially, Click.Trade ran a NATS cluster within EKS for inter-service communication to both internal services and external consumers. Multiple RPC nodes from Latitude.sh were sending high-volume messages (Solana account updates, transactions, indexed transactions, and more) to the NATS server running on AWS to be de-duplicated and fanned out to consumers. This constant cross-cloud traffic was expensive, costing them low to mid three figures daily.
The solution was elegantly simple: they switched from the NATS service to Latitude.sh Cloud Gateway, our on-ramp connection that directly connects the servers to their AWS stack. The immediate result was cost savings of at least 90% on network costs.
And Then There Were None (Problems)
The results speak for themselves. "Results have been positive running Solana RPC nodes," Harper reports, but the real victory is in the details.
The infrastructure has proven rock-solid where it matters most. "It has been a reliable choice for production environments," and that reliability extends to their networking needs, too.
"Very good connectivity to other RPC nodes and validators is a big plus for us," Harper notes. When you're in the same place as other key stakeholders, latency becomes a non-issue.
So what keeps Click.Trade happily partnered with Latitude.sh? It's a combination of practical benefits that just make sense:
Perfect market fit: "The servers directly fill our business needs within the crypto ecosystem"
Smart economics: "The compute pricing is good on annual plans"
Technical excellence: "Network and hardware options are very good"
Human support: "The technical support (which was utilized massively while setting up the direct connect) was extremely useful to us."
The team's first impression was spot-on: "Above industry standard, especially with ease of use." And the best part? That impression hasn't changed over time.
It's working more than fine, tks
Click.Trade's story with Latitude.sh shows what happens when the proper infrastructure meets the right team at the right time.
What started as a Twitter recommendation evolved into a partnership that addressed real-world problems, from hardware limitations to connectivity challenges and the need for crypto-native infrastructure that genuinely understands the space.
The magic isn't just in the server's specs or the network costs (though those matter). It's in finding a provider that understands the unique demands of crypto infrastructure, where milliseconds matter, uptime is everything, and being in the right place at the right time can make or break a trade.
When we asked the Click.Trade team to sum up Latitude.sh in just one sentence, their answers captured exactly why this partnership works so well:
Daniel Harper kept it straightforward: "A trusted bare-metal service provider that's well-known within crypto."
Henrik Lindström went for the bigger picture: "A better version of Web3 that just works, which is perfect."
With infra solved, Click can focus on what it does best: building the fastest and most complete trading ecosystem in Web3.
And really, what more could you ask for? We are committed to helping developers build the future of Web3, and today, we see Click.Trade leverage our solutions to do precisely that. So make sure your infra is setting up your Web3 project for success. Get started on Latitude.sh today.
