Venue, oracle, funding, liquidation waterfall, inclusion path, and MEV surface. If those six are not on the ticket, the ticket is incomplete.
Venue: who matches, who sequences, what happens on halt or sequencer downtime. Oracle: source, heartbeat, manipulation surface. Funding: formula, interval, who pays through the print. Liquidation: threshold, closer, insurance, ADL. Inclusion: public mempool, private relay, L2 inbox. MEV: who can see the flow and what they can do before your transaction is final.
That list is boring on purpose. Crypto marketing skips it because it does not screenshot well. It is also the difference between a trading system and a chart with a wallet connect.
We will not attach live books or invented AUM to this checklist. Conveyor’s corporate site is not a brokerage. The checklist is how we think about the field we work in. If you want to see software we have actually built, that is Selected work — screenshots and descriptions, not a fill.
Read Flashbots for how search actually behaves. Read Paradigm when the question is market design rather than a single bot. Then come back to the six items above. The journals are the field. The checklist is the job.
Desk notes on on-chain trading. Not investment, legal, or tax advice; not an offer of securities; not a live quote or a signal. Protocol and product studies live under Selected work.
