LONG VOLATILITY
SHORT NOISE
The first decentralized market for trading absolute price movements. Profit from chaos without picking a direction.
The Volatility Tax
Whether through options that decay or perpetual futures that bleed funding rates, the current tools for capturing movement are structurally designed to transfer your capital to exchanges and market makers.
Options
The Theta Trap
You're paying elevated premium when IV is already high. You're bleeding theta decay every day the move doesn't happen. When BTC finally rips from $65K to $75K, did you make enough to cover both premiums plus the decay?
The answer is usually no.
Perps
The Funding Bleed
Go long spot, short the perp, stay delta neutral. Except this isn't a volatility trade—it's basis arbitrage. The moment BTC moves 3%, your hedge ratio breaks. Rebalance. Pay fees. Eat slippage. Repeat.
It's a carry trade masquerading as vol.
"Both approaches work if you're a professional market maker with quant teams and millions in capital. For everyone else, they're mechanisms to transfer your money to exchanges, one basis point at a time."
This is the volatility tax. And you've been paying it.
MOVE Contracts
A native instrument for the thing you're actually trying to trade. No clever hacks. No synthetic constructions.
The Payoff Formula
That's it. Direction doesn't matter. Only magnitude.
Long Volatility
You profit if the price moves significantly in ANY direction.
Short Volatility
You profit if the price STAYS stable or reverts.
How It Works
Market Context
The Move contract calculates distance from open: |91k - 90k| = $1,000.

Winning Outcome
Why Now
In traditional finance, volatility is an asset class. Billion-dollar funds exist solely to trade vol. In crypto, nothing equivalent exists.

Native volatility instruments
"The Total Addressable Market is every derivatives trader who has ever been right about the move but wrong about the direction."
For Retail
Every perp trader sizing up before CPI or FOMC is implicitly trading volatility. MOVE contracts make that explicit: direct exposure to magnitude, no directional guessing, no liquidation from picking the wrong side.
For Institutions
Hedge funds need an API and deep liquidity, not a frontend. Market makers can quote two-sided markets on a linear payoff instead of managing complex options hedging books.
Any Asset. Any Feed.
MOVE contracts work on any asset with a reliable price feed. Adding a new market requires nothing more than an oracle feed and a listing.
