How it works.
Trader Markets turns a fomo.family trader into a tradable asset. Each trader mints a fixed set of keys on a staircase price curve, priced in SOL on Solana. Buy early, and every buyer after you pays more — and pays you.
Keys
A key is a share of a trader. There are no order books and no counterparties: you mint from the curve and you sell back into it. Price is a pure function of how many keys are outstanding, so the chart on every trader page is the market itself, not a snapshot of one.
The staircase curve
Every key costs 10% more than the one before it. The first key sets the floor; the last one sets the ceiling. Selling walks the same stairs back down, so the exit price is always the price of the last key minted.
| Key # | Price (SOL) | Step |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.5000 | base |
| 2 | 0.5500 | +10% |
| 3 | 0.6050 | +10% |
| 4 | 0.6655 | +10% |
| 5 | 0.7321 | +10% |
| 6 | 0.8053 | +10% |
Fees
Buys carry a 7% fee: 5% is paid straight to existing keyholders pro-rata, 2% goes to the protocol. Sells settle into the curve at a 11.54% buyback spread, which is what keeps the floor funded when holders exit.

Supply & limits
The curve keeps stepping up for as long as people keep buying — keys minted so far is the supply you see on each market. The scarcity rule is per wallet: one key per wallet, per trader. Sell your key back into the curve and you're free to buy again later.
Limit
1 key per wallet

Wallet & settlement
Everything is denominated in SOL on Solana mainnet. Connect your Solana wallet and your holdings follow that address, not a login. Every key buy is a real SOL transfer signed by your wallet and sent to the market's escrow address. Keys, holders and the live tape update for everyone in real time.
