The useful context
3 key points
BUY
Buying
A Buy order reserves the quoted balance required for its quantity and fee. Accepting a Sell order purchases its available quantity directly.
Why this mattersSELL
Selling
A Sell order reserves the eligible asset. Items may fill partially, while a transferable Character always moves as one indivisible entity.
Why this mattersDELIVERY
Ownership and delivery
A completed exchange updates both sides atomically and records an internal receipt. A game client cannot grant itself an asset or alter a balance.
Why this mattersMARKET
Two directions, one settlement rule.
The Market keeps asset identity, quoted value and resulting ownership visible throughout every Buy and Sell path.
