Responsibility boundary
You manage
Hosting, domain, database, uploaded assets, secrets, admin wallets, brand, integrations, legal settings, support, and release operations.
Kuest provides
Authentication support, CLOB access, relayed wallet actions, market and account data, community services, market creation, and shared network configuration.
Your users interact with your domain and brand. Keep Kuest credentials and service secrets server-side; only public runtime URLs and explicitly public IDs should reach browser code.
Request path
Shared liquidity
Markets with the same outcome token IDs use the same Kuest order books. Orders submitted through your site can match compatible orders already resting in those books. Your frontend controls presentation and order entry, but it does not create an isolated matching engine.Complementary outcome settlement
For a binary condition, the CLOB treats its two outcome tokens as complementary parts of one fully collateralized pair. Matching can therefore settle three ways:
For example,
BUY A @ $0.15 can match BUY B @ $0.85 without either order waiting for an existing seller. Likewise, complementary sell orders at $0.15 and $0.85 can settle by merging the paired positions. Only the common executable quantity fills; any remainder keeps its place in the order book.
The CLOB classifies and batches the fills, while the exchange contract performs the corresponding transfer, split, or merge onchain. Public activity keeps each participant’s physical action—for example, a submitted SELL A remains displayed as SELL A, even when settlement uses a merge.
Data you should back up
Database
