Settled to what the public can read.
Pensions and institutions have always held contracts on rates, prices, jobs and the weather. Households and small businesses carry the same exposure and were never offered the instrument. A contract that settles to the published number now exists at a dollar. Predicated shows the source and every cost first, and sets limits before the first order.

Nothing you do on a white screen can cost money.
WatchingLilac arrives the moment money is involved. White returns when the position is Closed.
You hold 10The logician's turnstile: from this, that follows. A predicate is a statement that comes out true or false, and every contract is written as the statement it settles on. The point is teal, the one colour that acts.
Release day, "settles today", result published, The Release.
The first-order check, close to your limit, a statement ready, your record card.
Fills only, never text. One per screen. Never on a price, an outcome, profit or loss, a status word, the order ticket or the action button. Coral is not an alarm.
Streaks, countdowns, confetti, badges, leaderboards or prizes. Pictures inside an order, a position or a money screen. A profit figure on anything shared. Green or red in the brand. The words safe, ethical, protected or fair.
Public charter S1, S3, D9 and section 6The outcome is never coloured: ⊢ True and ⊬ False are both set in night. A result is a fact about the source, not a win or a loss.
The account, from first look to close-out.
Tap through it. Open a contract, take the first-order check, place an order, then close the perpetual and watch funding stop. Change where you live and the catalogue changes with it. The notes on the right light up for the screen you are on.
Where a founder signs, and where the guard shows its work.
Decision traces, the approvals queue, every public reference and how fresh it is, venue concentration, and each guard rule's refusals today. Approvals are single use, and an agent cannot sign one.

The founders' book, behind its wall.
Founders' capital only, never offered or shown to a customer. Every wall check is listed with its state, the known gap included. The kill switch is one founder's pull and only the Book founder's reset.

The mock still shares one id generator across both tracks, so gaps in one reveal activity in the other. Fixed in build step 1.
The graduation ladder
| Mechanism, in D3's order | What the research found | State |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-venue price gaps | Average gaps of 2–4% between equivalent markets against about a 2% break-even; the market-wide figure is not ours to claim | Paper |
| Forecasting tournaments | Metaculus AI benchmark: a $50,000–58,000 pool per season, shared across about 100 entrants | Paper |
| Directional, reference-settled positions | Directional institutional trading still reads as shallow in a bank's own research | Paper |
| Maker-side programmes | Kalshi's incentive pays $1–$1,000 per market per day; the maker side is held by professional desks | Deferred |
Limits
On a daily-loss breach, new opening orders halt at once and closing orders stay allowed.

Nothing is published until all four founders agree (D7), and every line waits on the Claims founder.
Settled to what the public can read.
Contracts on inflation, interest rates, jobs and the weather, each settled to a public number you can check yourself. No sports. No casino games. You set your limits before your first order.
Settles to the National Weather Service Daily Climate Report for Central Park.
Each week's public sources, the day they publish: the BLS CPI release, the FOMC statement, the NWS daily climate report.
Every contract says what settles it.
A named public source and a written fallback, on the contract before you buy. Nobody decides the outcome afterwards.
Every cost before the button.
The venue's fee and ours, in cents, with the venue's formula beside it. For a perpetual, the funding, until you close.
Limits first.
A monthly limit set from your own means, deposits that count only once they settle, and a break you can take at any time.
How a published number reaches your costs.
Free lessons, no account needed. The first one is basis risk: a contract pays on the number, not on your loss, and it can pay nothing in the month you lose the most. We never tell you whether to buy one, which one, or how many.
Rain and sales, read against the NWS monthly total. Invented business. Invented figures.
5 minutes · no order button inside a lessonList a contract on anyone's death, injury or illness. List sports at launch. Hold your money. Take the other side of your trade. Let you trade on money that has not settled. Show anyone your profit.
Predicated is a technology company, not a bank, an exchange, a broker-dealer or a futures commission merchant, and it never takes the other side of your trade. Your money is held by a licensed partner or stays in your own wallet. You can lose money.
