The desk runs a research queue driven by readers. Ask for the next coin to put under the microscope, the risk question keeping you up, or the market-structure deep dive nobody else is doing. The queue below is public, so everyone can see what is asked, what is being worked on, and what got published.
A request is a specific question the desk can answer with real data, not a hot take. Good requests name the coin or topic, the risk question (what could go wrong, or what would prove the thesis right), and why it matters now (a catalyst, a price level, a pattern forming). Vague requests ("thoughts on DOGE?") sit at the bottom; sharp ones move.
Fill in the three fields. Posting is public: your request goes out as an X post tagging @OLedgerCrypto with #OLCRequest, so the desk sees it and other readers can find it and push it up the queue. Keep it under 260 characters total so it fits one post.
Every request the desk accepts appears here with its vote count and status. Votes are counted from engagement on each request's announcement post (reposts and replies), which the desk tallies by hand and publishes here. Statuses: Under review (the desk is deciding), In research (work is underway), Published (the answer is out, with a link).
Votes move a request up, but they are not the only input. The desk is transparent about the rest of the criteria:
Votes and discussion on the request post. A question many readers want answered beats a question one reader wants.
The desk only takes questions its data can actually answer. If the honest answer is "the data does not exist," the request stays under review instead of getting a faked answer.
Questions tied to something happening now (a catalyst, a level breaking, a regime shift) outrank evergreen curiosities.
The answer should help many readers, not one portfolio. Personal "should I buy" questions are never taken; structural questions about the same coin are.
Duplicate requests get combined into one row with the votes added together, and the desk may reframe a vague request into a sharper one before researching it.
