Instruments
Each part is a small contract. Together they make the building blocks of a market.
| Instrument | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Token for ZP | Pay ZP, receive a token 1:1; redeem back | Works on the testnet |
| Named token | Create a token with a name, e.g. a test dollar | Works |
| Issuer-controlled token | Only one key may issue or destroy: the model for a bridged stable token | Works |
| Price oracle | Commit a Merkle root of prices; anyone can prove a price | Works, multi-source |
| Dex | Make, take and cancel orders, no operator | Works |
| Bull/Bear bet | Position tokens against collateral, settled by an oracle proof | Works in CI scenarios |
How they fit
A bridged stable token gives a unit to price things in. The oracle says what an asset such as gold or a stock index is worth. A position contract turns that price into tokens that win or lose with it. The Dex lets people trade those tokens with each other.
Limits
- The oracle is one operator today. The chain proves when a price was published and that it was not changed, not that it was right.
- The bridge is trusted-operator and a prototype.
- Nothing here carries real money. Independent review and legal advice come first.
