Mechanism

How does Resell Position work on Whales Market?

With the new Resell Position feature, buyers can now resell their position of BUY ORDERS to Take Profit/Stop loss in the scenario where market condition shifts, even after the orders got filled.

1. Resell Position Mechanism

Whales Market allows Buyers to exit their pre-market positions by reselling them before the token generation event (TGE), enabling greater flexibility and liquidity.

  1. Initial Trade

The original seller creates a pre-market order to sell tokens. A buyer fills the order, and both parties lock collateral equal to the trade value to secure the agreement until the settlement date.

  1. Resell Opportunity

Before the TGE, if the buyer decides to resell the position - due to market shifts or strategy changes - they can list the position for resale on Whales Market.

  1. Position Transfer & Collateral Flow

When a new buyer accepts the resale order:

  • The new buyer pays the resale amount directly to the original buyer.

  • The original buyer's locked collateral is transferred to the new buyer as security for settlement.

  • The original buyer exits the position with their capital returned and any realized profit from the resale.

  1. Settlement Enforcement

On the settlement date, the Seller must deliver the agreed tokens to the Secondary Buyer (the holder of the position at the time of settlement). If the original seller does not settle, the current buyer will receive the collateral from both the original seller and the original buyer.


2. Example

  • A sells $WLFI at $0.10B buys $1,000.

  • B resells at $0.15C buys for $1,500.

  • If A fails to settle, C receives collateral from both A and B, totaling $2,000 excluding platform fee.


FAQ

What is the Resell Position mechanism?

This is a new trading mechanism that, in its first phase, applies only to buy orders. It allows the original buyer to resell their position before the Token Generation Event (TGE).

How does the initial trade work?

A seller lists a Pre-Market buy order for tokens. A buyer then fills this order, and both parties lock collateral equal to the trade value until the settlement.

How can a position be resold?

Before the TGE, the original buyer can relist their position for resale. This is useful for adapting to market shifts or changes in strategy.

How are the collateral and fund handled during a resale?

The new buyer pays the resale price directly to the original buyer. The original buyer's locked collateral is then transferred to the new buyer as settlement security. The original buyer exits the position, taking their capital plus any profit from the resale.

What happens during "Setllement Enforcement"?

At the TGE, the original seller must deliver the tokens to the current buyer. If the seller fails to do so, their collateral is forfeited and transferred to the current buyer, ensuring full compensation.
