What should you ask both firms before signing?
Do you cover my DEX pools?
If the token has on-chain liquidity, ask who manages it and how pool prices are kept in line with order books.
What does 99.9% uptime measure?
Ask whether uptime means system availability or time spent quoting inside the agreed spread and depth.
Is investment tied to the mandate?
Where a market maker also invests, ask how its token holdings are kept apart from the market making book.
