Mato runs on Solana, so on-chain experience matters most.The walkthrough (most important part)Write a short Google Doc about how you actually trade. Not about Mato; about your real trading. Start with one specific recent trade: what you traded, how much, where, why that platform, how you executed (one shot, split, limit, DCA, bot), what it cost you, what you'd do differently. Then add anything else about how you trade in general: what annoys you, what you wish worked differently. Be specific and concrete; a few paragraphs is enough. This is what we select on.How to submit1. Write your walkthrough in a Google Doc (make sure sharing is set to "anyone with the link")2.
