Category:Infrastructure

Overview

Back to portal

This category is intended to group articles related to the underlying infrastructure supporting cryptocurrency futures trading markets. This includes topics such as exchange technology, clearing houses, data providers, and regulatory technology (RegTech) systems used in the operation and oversight of these markets.

The goal is to provide neutral, factual documentation on the technical and operational components that facilitate futures trading on digital assets.

Scope and Inclusion Criteria

Articles belonging in this category should focus on the mechanisms, technology, or organizations that provide essential services for the functioning of crypto futures markets.

Acceptable topics include, but are not limited to:

• Specific exchange matching engines and their architecture.
• Central Counterparty Clearing (CCP) systems used for derivatives settlement.
• Market surveillance and monitoring tools.
• Custody and settlement infrastructure relevant to derivatives.
• Data feed providers specializing in real-time futures pricing.

Topics generally excluded from this category are:

• Articles focused solely on the trading strategies or financial instruments themselves (these belong in categories like).
• Articles focused on the underlying cryptocurrency assets (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
• Promotional material or subjective reviews of specific vendor products.

Editorial Guidelines

All articles categorized here must adhere to the core principles of this wiki: neutrality, verifiability, and clarity.

Neutrality and Tone

Content must maintain a strictly encyclopedic and objective tone. Avoid language that suggests endorsement, prediction of market outcomes, or guaranteed performance of any technology or service. Descriptions of infrastructure should focus on function, design, and operational role, not perceived quality or future success.

Verifiability and Sourcing

Claims regarding technical specifications, operational capacities, or regulatory compliance must be supported by reliable, published, external sources. Where possible, documentation should cite official whitepapers, regulatory filings, or established industry reports.

Beginner Friendliness

While the subject matter is technical, articles should be written to be accessible to readers familiar with basic financial concepts but perhaps new to the specific infrastructure of crypto derivatives. Complex technical terms should be clearly defined or linked to appropriate explanatory articles within the wiki.
