Introduction
MoveX is a platform for trading volatility. Its markets pay on how far a price moves, not on which way it goes.
What MoveX does
Most trading products ask a directional question: will the price go up or down? MoveX asks how much it will move. A trader who expects a large move, or a quiet one, can take that view directly in a single position, without choosing a direction and without building it from options or hedged futures.
Products
| Product | The question | How it trades | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volatility Pools | Will the price move more than N%? | Pooled YES / NO markets. No leverage; the deposit is the most you can lose. | Live on Solana devnet |
| MOVE contracts | How large will the move be? | A contract worth |close − open|, traded on an order book with 1x to 3x margin. | Playground; venue in development on Solana |
Both products settle on the realized move: the difference between two observed prices. Neither depends on an index of implied volatility.
