| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Window | One tradeable period on one ticker: an opening print, a closing print, one cadence (5m/15m/60m, the Monday Gap, or 24/7 token). |
| Series | A ticker + cadence pair (for example TSLA-5m). Owns the price policy and the order books its Windows use. |
| Book | The order book for one Window — bids and asks, matched price-time. Recycled between Windows on the same Series. |
| Ledger | The seat registry for one Window: who's in, their escrowed cash and outcome balances. |
| Seat | One trader's slot in a Window's Ledger. A small refundable bond holds a seat open; it returns when you leave. |
| A signed price value for one boundary (open or close) of a Window, verified on-chain. See price sources. | |
| Policy version | A Series' price-source rule for a date range (which source, thresholds, admission window). Registered in advance; never edited once written. |
| PostOnly / IOC / FOK / Normal | Order types. PostOnly only rests, never takes. IOC takes what it can, cancels the rest. FOK reverts unless it fills completely. Normal rests if it doesn't fully fill. |
| Mint-pair / burn-pair | A fill where a complete Yes/No pair is created or destroyed, because both sides of the trade are buyers (mint) or both are sellers (burn). |
| Void | A Window that pays 0.5/0.5 instead of settling, because a required print never arrived (MissingPrint) or two price sources disagreed too much (CrossCheckDivergence, TSLA only). Stake returns as credit. |
| tUSDC | Agari's devnet test collateral, a 6-decimal SPL token with no market value. |
| Trading Balance | A balance held in agari-vault, used for tap-trading instead of a wallet-signed order each time. |
| Session key / grant | A separate signing key your wallet authorizes with spending caps (per trade, per day, open positions) — never your wallet's own private key, and it never leaves your browser. |
| 24/7 lane | One-hour Windows that trade around the clock: xStocks on Switchboard, OpenAI's PreStocks token and the five baskets on attested PreStocks prices. |
| Cover | A Down call a holder takes as insurance on tokens the connected wallet holds (xStocks, Ondo or PreStocks tokens, or two or more members of a basket). |
| Schedule a call | A post-only call rested on a stock Window before its bell; see pre-open calls. |
| Short | A Down position the Boost reserve holds and marks against the book, with an exit at any time and a knock-out line; see Short a fall. |
| Halt | A wide or issuer-level trading halt signal. Shown as "Trading halted." A merely stale price print is shown as "Signed price stale" instead — a different, more common state. |
