Category:Crypto Futures Infrastructure

Back to portal

This category is intended to house articles detailing the underlying technological, regulatory, and operational components that support the trading of Cryptocurrency futures contracts. Content within this category should focus on the mechanisms and systems rather than specific trading strategies or individual exchanges.

Scope and Inclusion Criteria

Articles belonging in this category should cover topics such as:

• Exchange Technology: Matching engines, order book management systems, and high-frequency trading architecture used by futures platforms.
• Custody and Collateral Management: Systems for holding margin, managing collateral (both crypto and fiat), and handling liquidation processes.
• Data Feeds and Oracles: The infrastructure responsible for providing reliable, tamper-proof price data used for settlement and mark price calculations.
• Regulatory Technology (RegTech): Systems used for compliance, surveillance, and reporting within futures trading environments.
• Clearing and Settlement Systems: The processes and technologies used to finalize trades and manage counterparty risk.

Articles focusing primarily on the financial instrument itself (e.g., Perpetual contract, Delivery mechanism) should generally be categorized under unless the article heavily details the infrastructure supporting that instrument.

Editorial Guidelines for Editors

To maintain the encyclopedic and neutral nature of this category and its associated articles, editors must adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Neutral Point of View (NPOV): All content must be presented factually, attributing claims where necessary. Avoid language that promotes or disparages any specific technology provider, exchange, or regulatory framework.
2. Focus on Mechanism, Not Promotion: Articles should explain how a system works (e.g., explaining the architecture of a matching engine) rather than serving as a review or advertisement for a specific product or service.
3. Verifiability: Claims regarding performance metrics, security standards, or regulatory compliance must be supported by reliable, published sources.
4. Clarity and Accessibility: Given the technical nature of the subject, articles should be written clearly, defining technical jargon where appropriate, to be accessible to readers new to the concept of futures infrastructure.
5. No Financial Advice: Articles must strictly avoid any discussion or implication of guaranteed profit, investment recommendations, or trading strategy guidance.
