Category Hub
Understand the people, companies, markets, and communities that build around Bitcoin without treating any business, personality, repository, event, or institution as a source of protocol authority.

MSC-GUIDE-073
Trace the complete path from on-chain deposit detection and confirmation policy through internal credit, order matching, custody, withdrawal review, signing, broadcast, and settlement so an exchange account is not confused with key control.
