Are there any advanced crypto trading blogs that focus on how on-chain trading works for experienced DeFi users?

Yes — there are a few advanced blogs and research sites that go beyond “what is DeFi” and focus on how on-chain trading actually works for experienced users.

Strong advanced sources

• Uniswap Labs Blog / Research
  • Great for AMM mechanics, MEV, routing, LP math, and protocol design.
• Paradigm Research
  • Very high signal on on-chain market structure, MEV, order flow, AMMs, and execution.
• Flashbots Blog
  • Best for MEV, transaction inclusion, bundles, private orderflow, and Ethereum trading mechanics.
• 0x Blog / Research
  • Useful for aggregation, RFQ systems, DEX routing, and on-chain liquidity.
• Chainlink Blog / Research
  • Sometimes covers oracle design, DeFi market structure, and liquidation mechanics.
• Gauntlet
  • More risk-modeling oriented, but very good for protocol dynamics and liquidity behavior.
• Delphi Digital Research
  • Often covers deep DeFi trading infrastructure and market structure analysis.
• Blockworks Research
  • Good for higher-level DeFi market structure and protocol analysis, though not always purely on-chain trading-focused.
• Aave / MakerDAO / Curve / Balancer governance forums and blogs
  • Best when you want protocol-native discussions about how markets and incentives work.
