Welcome to win-trader

A perpetual futures exchange on Stellar. The pool is the counterparty and your wallet signs every trade.

win-trader is a perpetual futures exchange on Stellar. You post USDC as collateral, pick a side and a leverage, and hold a position that tracks a market's price until you close it. A single liquidity pool takes the other side of every trade, and your own wallet signs each one.

There is no expiry date, which is what perpetual means. A position stays open until you close it, or until it is closed for you.

The pool is the other side

There is no order book. The liquidity pool, called the Vault, takes the other side of every position. It collects trader losses, borrow fees and part of the funding, and it pays out when traders win.

That is why a position of any size opens instantly at the oracle price, and also why size is capped: the pool only takes on as much risk as it can back. If your order is larger than the pool will take, the ticket says how much it will take right now.

Your wallet signs everything

Every open, close, deposit and withdrawal is a Stellar transaction signed by your wallet. You can log on with an existing Stellar wallet such as Freighter, or with an email or Google account, in which case a Stellar account is created for you. Either way the key stays with you: no server can open or close a position on your behalf. Copy Trading is the clearest case: it watches, sizes and pre-fills the ticket, then waits for your signature like everything else.

The desktop

The app is a desktop. Each part of it is a program with an icon, a window and a place in the taskbar. On a phone the same programs are the tabs along the bottom, and Docs, Sounds, Theme and Socials sit behind the menu key in the title bar.

The pool. What it holds, what it is exposed to, and where to provide liquidity.
