Quick Start
What Arenaton Is
Section titled “What Arenaton Is”Arenaton is a prediction-market intelligence terminal. It is built around market discovery, source-backed Market Briefs, paper rehearsal, wallet intelligence, scanners, alerts, and optional self-custody execution workflows.
Execution infrastructure exists to support the workflow, but the product is not primarily a custodial exchange, broker, deposit account, or trade-routing business. Credits pay for premium analysis and specialized data, not custody, deposits, withdrawals, execution access, order priority, or trade routing.
The day-one wedge is narrower than the full architecture: NBA matchup-outcome Market Briefs, explicit source links, timestamped market snapshots, Watch/Risk/Avoid/Rehearse fields, freshness labels, and no-real-value paper rehearsal. Broader sports, crypto, politics, autonomous news crawling, fair-value models, and trade recommendations are outside the day-one brief contract.
The value proposition is context compression and decision hygiene: know what to watch, what can invalidate the thesis, and when not to trade.
The public docs are organized around the user-visible parts of that system:
- Market discovery, source snapshots, Market Brief previews and full brief runs.
- Paper rehearsal with no-real-value ppUSD/PaperUSDC.
- Wallet intelligence, watchlists, scanners, alerts, and decision notes.
- Optional execution workflows with explicit self-custody and eligibility boundaries.
- Order books, orders, positions, fills, and status APIs where execution is enabled.
- Smart Account and Raw EOA account modes.
- CTF Outcome Shares and direct redemption boundaries.
- Published resolution rules and correction windows.

Safety Boundaries
Section titled “Safety Boundaries”Arenaton documentation uses these terms deliberately:
- Collateral means the token users commit to market positions.
- Outcome Shares means CTF position tokens for market outcomes.
- Market Briefs means source-backed decision-support artifacts, not financial advice or trade instructions.
- Credits means paid access to premium analysis and specialized data, not custody, withdrawal, deposit, execution, or routing rights.
- Smart Account means the default user-controlled account mode.
- Raw EOA Mode means direct wallet signing for advanced users.
- ppUSD/PaperUSDC means no-real-value paper credit used only for rehearsal and product testing.
Arenaton must not describe user collateral as a custodial balance, wager ticket, internal credit, or platform-held redemption account.
