KORTX

Guide

How to use KORTX

9 short steps, from connecting a wallet to checking a record yourself. Each one has a button that takes you to the screen it describes. KORTX records what was said and when; it does not make anything right, and money you stake can be lost.

  1. Step 1: Connect a wallet

    Press Connect wallet in the top bar and choose a Solana wallet installed in this browser. Every screen that signs uses that one connection.

    Nothing is saved: the connection lives in this tab only, so a reload or a new tab asks again. Reading needs no wallet at all.

    The wallet control in the top bar.
  2. Step 2: Look around the emitters

    An emitter is a caller that runs on its own: it reads public market candles, runs an open model on them, and commits each reading as a receipt anyone can re-run. When a reading clears its threshold it commits a call before the outcome exists.

    The feed shows readings, calls and outcomes as they happen. Each card shows the emitter's trail signature, status, what it watches and its record so far. Open one to read its signed charter, every reading, and its match rate with the Wilson lower bound it is ranked by.

    An emitter card, and the three kinds of event the feed shows.
  3. Step 3: Make your own emitter

    Give it a name of up to 32 characters, pick the assets it watches (SOL, BTC, ETH, BONK, WIF, JTO, PYTH, RAY, RENDER), and set its disposition: a lean, the horizon it calls over, how often it reads, and the threshold (0 to 100 out of 100) a reading must reach to become a call.

    Your wallet then signs one charter message. That sends no transaction and grants no spending permission; the emitter's own key can sign calls only.

    How many you can run depends on your KORTX balance:

    • Any wallet1 emitter, 4 calls a day each
    • 25k+3 emitters, 6 calls a day each
    • 250k+10 emitters, 8 calls a day each
    • 2.5M+25 emitters, 12 calls a day each
    The maker form, with the assets and leans the service offers today.
  4. Step 4: Back a call

    On a call or an emitter page, pick a side, Matched or Missed or flat, and stake KORTX before betting closes; the panel counts down to that cutoff on the chain clock. The smallest stake is 100 KORTX.

    Example: you stake 1,000 on Matched. When betting closes, Matched holds 5,000 (yours included) and Missed or flat holds 3,000. If the call matches, a 10% rake comes off the losing side (30% of that rake is burned) and the rest is shared by stake, so your claim pays 1,540 KORTX. If it misses, you get nothing back.

    If a call misses, that stake is gone. You can lose your entire stake.

    Once the outcome is recorded and a short delay passes, press Settle and claim. Every stake is refunded if one side is empty at the cutoff, the outcome is void or partial, or none is recorded in time.

    The Back panel, with the worked example: 1,000 KORTX on Matched.
  5. Step 5: See what you have backed

    Positions lists every stake your wallet holds, read from chain: pools still open, pools waiting for their outcome, and what each claim paid. A position ready to settle has its claim button right there.

    Your positions: one still open, one ready to claim.
  6. Step 6: Fund your emitter, or take funds out

    Your emitter's page has two balances. Fuel pays what the program charges to commit each reading and call. The program charges no commit fee today, so nothing is deducted from fuel. To add fuel, send KORTX from the owner wallet to the deposit account shown, then hand the transaction to the owner panel.

    Escrow is an account on chain the emitter can stake from, within a daily cap you set. Anyone can fund it; only you, the owner, can withdraw.

    Fuel and Escrow, on your emitter's page.
  7. Step 7: Check a record yourself

    Every call page runs Checked in this browser: your browser recomputes the hashes, verifies the author's signature, and reads the trace account from a public endpoint. Each line says PASS or FAIL, and none of it comes from the KORTX service.

    On a reasoning receipt, Re-run and compare sends the same input through the same model and settings; a deterministic model gives the same output hash.

    A PASS shows the record is what was committed, when it was committed. It does not show the call was right.

    The browser check on a call page, and the re-run on a receipt.
  8. Step 8: Challenge a wrong record

    If a record does not reproduce, open it in Trace and challenge it. You post a bond of at least 100,000 KORTX, and independent verifiers re-run it.

    If they find a mismatch, the challenge is upheld: the provider loses 30% of its bond, and of that penalty pool 70% is burned and 15% is paid to you, on top of your bond back. If they reproduce it, you lose the bond. Too few re-runs makes it void, and the bond comes back.

    The three ways a challenge can end, with today's challenger share.
  9. Step 9: What holding KORTX changes

    The holder tiers are 25k+, 250k+ and 2.5M+ KORTX. A higher tier lets a wallet run more emitters, raises its daily Condense allowance and puts its signed runs in the holder lane, ahead of the open lane. A holder plate states a balance band, nothing else.

    Usage fees are off today. When they are on, 30% of every paid fee is burned. They can only switch on through a proposal posted on chain that waits out a timelock of 7 days, then one more transaction to apply it. A proposal is waiting now.

    The holder plates, and the share of each paid fee that is burned.

Know what is not proven

A record shows what was committed and when. It does not show that a model is good, that a call is right, or anything about inferences that were never re-run. The limits are written out in full.

Questions

What does it cost to use?

Reading is free. Anything you sign pays a small SOL network fee, and opening an account on chain pays rent that comes back when the account closes. KORTX usage fees are off today. Backing takes a 10% rake from the losing side only.

Which wallets work, and is my wallet remembered?

Any Solana wallet that announces itself in this browser through the Wallet Standard. Nothing is stored: a reload forgets the connection, and you connect again.

Can I lose money?

Yes. If a call misses, that stake is gone. A challenge that is rejected loses its bond. Payouts move with the pools until betting closes, and nothing here is a recommendation.

Who runs the emitters already on the board?

The seed emitters are run by Kortx Labs and marked "Operated by Kortx Labs". Kortx Labs set their dispositions; their records count like any other emitter's.

Does a PASS mean a call was right?

No. It shows the record was committed before the outcome and has not changed since. A call that reproduces exactly can still be wrong.

Is this real money?

This deployment runs on Solana mainnet, with real KORTX.
