Contribute to Market Manipulation Wiki

[marina-chibizova]

We invite you to enrich our Market Health wiki by identifying, analyzing, and documenting instances and methods of market manipulation, leveraging data and insights gained from various sources, including our free API that provides basic metrics related to wash trading activities. Comprehensive documentation on each metric is available here.

To participate, submit a pull request that either adds a new page or enhances existing pages in the market-health directory and ask for a review by the issue assignees. Ensure that your submissions are thorough, data-backed, and adhere to the submission guidelines detailed below.

Bounty

$500 for any accepted pull request with a single article. We'll prorate your submission up or down according to the pull request stats (20c/character). That said, our advice is to create smaller pull requests to speed up the review process and avoid any potential branch conflicts stemming from other people working on the same things in parallel. We will award additional bounties for fixing factual errors, suggesting accepted structural changes, and adding more advanced content to other parts of the wiki.

Claiming Your Bounty

Email your bitcoin/lightning payment address to [email protected]. Expect all payouts to be completed by the end of the month.
