Chained Speed Markets are the next evolution of classic Speed Markets, allowing you to predict multiple sequential price movements in one go for explosive leveraged payouts up to 47x !
Chained Speed Markets allow you to create a series of 2 to 6 sequential price predictions with a fixed Strike Time each and with an increasing payout multiplier per each added market. This product has also been voted in by the Thales Governance, under the TIP-174 Chained Speed Markets
With Speed Markets, we allowed the users to bypass the limitations of the classic crypto trading markets. They could now trade short term markets, and not really worry about maturity dates. However, the Speed markets had a different limitation - in one trade, you could at most double your position. In order to accommodate the needs of users looking for a more leveraged exposure, we created Chained Speed Markets.
Users can initiate their Chain Speed Markets journey by depositing a modest $5, unlocking a world of strategic trading possibilities. The player then selects the number of rounds, ranging from 2 to 6, with each round swiftly lasting 10 minutes.
At the deposit stage, traders can show their strategic thinking and analytical skills, predicting whether the price of the chosen asset will be above or below its initial value at the conclusion of each 5 or 10-minute round. The users are required to submit all predictions for the selected rounds at the time of deposit. Once set, these predictions are immutable and cannot be altered.
Success in each round means advancement to the next, with the potential for multiplied returns. However, an incorrect prediction at any stage results in the loss of the initial $10 deposit. The challenge lies in maintaining accuracy across all selected rounds.
With an increasing multiplier for each correctly predicted round, ranging from 1.7 for the second round, up to 1.9 for 6 rounds, the excitement intensifies as traders witness their potential returns grow. For instance, a 2-round chained market boasts a thrilling 2.89x payoff if both rounds are picked successfully (up to 47x for 6 rounds )
Chained Speed Markets leverage the power of Pyth Benchmark on-demand oracles, offering historically queryable prices that validate trades in near real-time. These oracles play a crucial role in risk management for intraday markets like Speed (and Chained) Markets. Pyth Benchmark price feeds are updated every second using source data from reputable third-party publishers, providing verifiable transparency through the Pythnet blockchain.
Chained Speed Markets represent a fusion of speed, strategy, and multiplied returns, offering traders an exhilarating platform to navigate the dynamic landscape of financial markets.
The parameters for Chained Speed Markets will be maintained via the Governance process. Configuration TIPs for considerations like opening the ChainedSpeedMarketAMM up for LPing will need to be submitted by the community and voted in by the Thales Council. Initial funding will be provided by the TreasuryDAO, but future LPing could take it's place to provide liquidity for Speed Markets.
Volume generated on Chained Speed Markets will count towards gamified staking rewards.

To create a position, first choose an asset and directions for the rounds. This is the direction you think the price will have moved at the end of the round, based on the price at the start of the round. The first round starts at the time the purchase transaction is submitted. You need to choose the direction for all of the round that are shown in the picker. Rounds can be added or removed using the - (minus) and + (plus) symbols under the 2nd step.
You can purchase positions with sUSD, ETH, USDC, OP (on Optimism), ARB (on Arbitrum), DAI, USDT and WETH. You can also use USDC on Polygon and Base.
Next, enter or pick the amount of USD you would like to deposit (or pick a different collateral) and click BUY.
Once you are holding a position it will appear under the "Your Open Positions" section with the amount of time until the results are in shown in orange. For Chained markets, the Open positions section will show all the positions you have chosen for each round, and the current status of each round.
You'll see the yellow "Claim Win $XX.XX" button when you have a winning position. Next to the claim button you can see a dropdown you can use if you want to claim your winnings using a different collateral. Click on the yellow button to complete the transaction and claim your deserved payout!
