How Prices Work

Each market's price is a Taste Index score - a composite number derived from real-time data sources like Google Trends, YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok. See The Taste Index for details on how scores are calculated.

Prices are updated continuously and smoothed using an exponential moving average (EMA) to reduce noise.

Collateral

All markets are USDC-settled. You deposit USDC as collateral and receive USDC when closing positions. There is no need to hold any other token to trade.

Contract Structure

  • Perpetual - no expiry, hold as long as your margin allows
  • One contract = one unit of the market's Taste Index
  • Positions are fully collateralized and settled on-chain
