When your Go bot connects to the Bybit WebSocket API, it relies on garbage collection (GC) and standard Linux POSIX sockets. When the Bybit matching engine experiences extreme volatility, your Go network thread will pause, causing a devastating phenomenon known as Alpha Bleed.

Every time your Go bot pauses for a 50-millisecond GC cycle, faster participants interacting via Rust consume the available liquidity. The Jitter Tax formula mathematically proves this:

L = V × F × P(J)

For a quantitative fund utilizing Go, the continuous latency offset guarantees an annual alpha leak. By migrating the execution layer to Rust inside an AWS Nitro Enclave, this $29,200 leak is entirely reclaimed.
