High-frequency trading strategies clash with Layer 1 blockchain fundamentals. The throughput limits and settlement finality of most mainchains simply can't support microsecond-level trading operations that HFT demands. Anyone expecting to run traditional HFT on a Layer 1? That's a mismatch waiting to happen. The latency and unpredictability of on-chain execution make it incompatible with HFT's core requirements.

HFT on L1 is just asking for trouble. Really, stop messing around.

Running HFT on L1 is just asking for death; it's better to mess around with Layer 2.

Haha, running HFT on L1 is ridiculous. It's better to just go to CEX.

Running HFT on L1? How is that possible? Isn't that just asking for death?

HFT can't operate on L1, who doesn't know that?

HFT running on L1 is just asking for humiliation.

Haha, that's a bit absolute. If L1 doesn't work, what about L2?
