Inside the Kadex Index

One market for graded cards. Here is how it works.

The index turns prices from a fixed basket of graded cards into one number you can trade. Its price comes from an on-chain pool, with limits designed to protect the market.

01 / Price

From card trades to one index price

Follow the four steps behind the number shown on the trading screen.

  1. 01

    A fixed basket

    10 graded cards each have a published weight. The list does not change automatically.

  2. 02

    Fractions trade

    Trades in the on-chain fraction pool establish the spot price. No person submits an official price.

  3. 03

    Time smooths it

    A 30-minute time-weighted average reduces the effect of a brief price move.

  4. 04

    The index updates

    A time-scaled clamp limits movement to 5% per 15 seconds. The result prices positions and the pool.

What the external feed does: recent card sales provide a sanity check. They do not set the index price. Anyone can refresh the on-chain price; there is no oracle signing key.

02 / Basket

The cards behind the index

Published weights total 100.00%. A card enters through a whitelist; the basket does not rebalance itself.

On this test cluster, the index token is for demonstration. It is not backed by or redeemable for cards.

03 / Capacity

How much can the market hold?

Trading capacity is the lower of two limits. The market cannot take more open positions just because one limit has room.

Capacity available now—

of — total capacity remains open

Open interest —— used

Current limiting factor: —

Liquid reserve

The pool must hold enough liquid assets to pay winning traders.

—

Pricing pool depth

Moving the index far enough to force liquidations should cost more than it pays.

—

Capacity figures use the current market snapshot. A stale or unavailable oracle can also prevent new trades, even when capacity remains.

Quick answers

How can we help?

The essentials about Trade, Earn and Vault.

What am I trading?

One index tracking a fixed basket of graded cards. A long or short position follows the index price; it does not give you ownership of an individual card.

How is the index priced?

Card fractions trade in an on-chain pool. Their price is smoothed over a 30-minute window, then limited by a time-scaled clamp. External card sales are a safety check, not the price source.

What is the risk of a trade?

Perpetual positions use margin. A move against your position can liquidate it and you can lose all of that margin. Check the liquidation price in the ticket before opening.

How does Earn work?

You can deposit kdUSD or eligible card fractions for CLP pool shares. The pool collects fees, takes the other side of trades, and its value can rise or fall with trader results.

What happens when I vault a card?

An eligible graded card is held in the vault and you receive fractions. To redeem the card, you must hold and return the full fraction supply.
