Contract naming

Example:

(Brazil vs. Argentina, Jul 15, 2026)

The home team follows official match designation.

How pricing works

Settlement price = 10 + goal difference

Goal difference = home team goals − away team goals

Only the full-time result (90 minutes plus stoppage time) is counted. Extra time and penalty shootouts are excluded.

Settlement examples

The base value of 10 helps prevent negative settlement prices. Historically, goal differences have rarely exceed ±9.

Intraday pricing

The index price is calculated using weighted real-time odds from external data sources and reflects the market's expected goal difference.

• Price above 10: The market expects the home team to win

• Price below 10: The market expects the away team to win

• Price equal to 10: The market expects a draw

Key rules

• Up to 5x leverage

• No funding fees

• Minimum order size: 1 contract (10 USDT)

• Contracts will be listed in batches throughout the tournament.

• Contracts enter reduce-only mode 110 minutes after kickoff.

• Contracts settle automatically 130 minutes after kickoff.

For example, a price of 10.9 suggests the market expects the home team to finish with a goal difference of approximately +0.9. It does not indicate a 90% probability of winning.
