2⃣ Collect orders for your draft markets before they’re activated. Trades won’t be executed until the market is active, but you’ll be able to gather commitments and gauge interest in your market without paying to create it! (👏
@0xProject
👏)
With the most recent update from
@ethereum
(), the fork is scheduled to happen on Feb 28th (block 7,280,000) and not before it. Please make sure to review all market details when taking a position.
3⃣ Make money from markets you create. You can charge participants a fee when they settle and have the option of sharing trading fees with
@veil
as well.
But while we're sunsetting this product, our team is not done! We're lucky to work with great partners and have a number of projects we've been working on internally that we can't wait to share.
📊 Speculate on the
@ethereum
gas price and hash rate.
@veil
lets you trade on the network's 24 hour rolling gas price and hash rate, which we expect will be valuable hedging products for relayers and miners.
To help users continue to create markets on
@AugurProject
, we unbundled our market creation tool and have released it at .
You can still create draft markets and share them for free before activating markets on
@AugurProject
.
If you're a Veil user, here are three things to do now:
1⃣ Redeem all your open positions in expired markets
2⃣ Withdraw any positions you have in active markets
3⃣ Withdraw your Veil Ether and convert it to Ether
🧐 Nominate an
@AugurProject
market for listing.
Submit an Augur market's ID (browse or
@PredictionsGlbl
), and we'll list the markets as soon as we can.
As of today, no new markets will be added to Veil. You can still trade in existing markets, but trading will be disabled on July 24, 2019.
After that date, we will continue to host the Veil product at least until
@AugurProject
v2 launches.
Traders who hold positions in Veil's 2020 Democratic Nomination market will be able to migrate their positions to
@AugurProject
v2 when it launches. Copies of the
@AugurLite
markets will be deployed on v2, and we'll use
@0xProject
to help users migrate open interest.
