🛠️Technical Architecture

Smart Contract System

MarketFactory Contract: Creates new markets continuously based on timeframe schedules. Maintains registry of all markets across all asset classes and timeframes, manages state transitions, and handles market creation logic for different asset types.

Market scheduling logic:

• Crypto: Continuous creation at expiration times

• Stocks/Metals: Respects trading hours, creates markets at session open

• NFTs: 24/7 creation based on floor price snapshots

• All assets: Supports hourly, daily, weekly, monthly cycles

BeginnerMarket Contract: Individual market instances handling LONG/SHORT pool accumulation, recording participant positions with entry timestamps and prices, enforcing locked commitments until expiration, coordinating settlement with entry-weighted distribution, and processing fees.

OrderBook Contract (Standard Mode): Manages YES/NO bid/ask order lists, handles order matching, coordinates share minting/burning, enforces collateral requirements, processes all order types, distributes trading fees, and manages fee collection (0.25% per trade).

ShareToken Contract (Standard Mode): ERC-1155 compatible tokens for YES/NO shares. Mints shares when orders match, burns when merged, tracks ownership, handles settlement payouts (minus 1% settlement fee), and manages share lifecycle.

SettlementEngine Contract: Determines winning pool, calculates individual performance percentages (Beginner Mode), computes weighted stakes, determines distribution amounts, processes share payouts (Standard Mode), and handles fee distribution (0.25% trading, 1% settlement).

OracleManager Contract: Fetches asset prices from multiple sources, validates consistency across data providers, maintains historical records, manages dispute resolution, handles different update frequencies per asset class, and coordinates market hour awareness for time-limited assets.

TreasuryManager Contract: Collects platform fees (0.25% trading, 1% settlement), manages insurance fund, distributes revenue per governance parameters, maintains financial audit trails, and tracks fee revenue by timeframe.

Security Features:

• Multi-signature requirements for critical functions

• Time-locked changes prevent sudden rule modifications

• Emergency pause functionality (governance-controlled)

• Proxy patterns allow upgrades while preserving state

• All interactions logged on-chain for transparency

• Fee calculations enforced at smart contract level
