Protocol / 01
Desk and fee loop
The four-beat route from a perpetual fill to the vault that funds the desk.
#The desk
The reference desk places stock and crypto perpetuals on one always-on surface. A trader can take a long or short position outside traditional market hours. Every matched fill creates a fee.
The interface should expose the fee route and resulting receipt. Speed is demonstrated by settlement evidence, not by an invented metric or decorative glow.
#Four beats
- 01 / Trade
- A position opens on the desk.
- 02 / Fee
- The fill creates a desk fee.
- 03 / Vault
- The fee enters the two-tier USDC vault.
- 04 / Repeat
- Additional use deepens the system and produces more fee flow.
#Receipt over rhetoric
- Show the network and wallet involved.
- Show the amount and unit together.
- Distinguish request accepted from final settlement.
- Link to the Arc explorer when a real transaction exists.
- Never fabricate a fill, fee, volume figure, or latency measurement.
