Introducing a clearer, faster trading experience on https://t.co/GkdtTZy8ik We're rolling out a major UX and market-structure update to 42, designed around a simple idea: users should be able to focus on trading first. Until now, 42 markets blended two experiences into one: token price trading and settlement-based prediction. That made the product powerful, but it also made the early experience more confusing than it needed to be. New users had to understand tokens, payout dynamics, and pool mechanics before they could comfortably take a position. The new design separates the market into 2 clean phases. ✦ Phase 1: Trading. When a user sells a position, they pay an Exit Contribution: a spread paid into the underlying event pool. Moving forward, the Exit Contribution will remain extremely low during most of a market’s lifecycle (ranging roughly from 0.1% to 5%, depending on your exit size), making 42 feel much closer to a fast, liquid trading market. Users can enter and exit with much lower friction, focus on price, market cap, momentum, holder behavior, and chart movement, and trade Outcome Tokens without needing to understand the full settlement game upfront. ✦ Phase 2: Conviction. Near the end of the market, the experience shifts into prediction mode. The interface makes the transition explicit, helping users understand when the market is approaching the final, conviction phase. During this phase, as the market approaches the settlement, the Exit Contribution rate accelerates to as high as 90%. At that point, the focus moves from trading in and out to deciding whether to hold for settlement upside. When the event concludes, the market settles according to predefined rules and the rewards pool is distributed to holders of the winning outcome. ✦ Result A cleaner mental model: > Trade freely while information is still developing. > Decide whether to realize profits or maintain conviction before the market transitions. > Hold through resolution if you want the upside. > Settle on truth. We're also improving the UX around the transition point. Markets will surface stronger countdowns and explicit confirmations before users enter the final phase. The goal is to make the shift from trading to prediction obvious and intentional. This update makes 42 easier to use without removing what makes it innovative. The product becomes more approachable for traders, while preserving the core 42 structure: if you are early, right, and positioned in a large market, settlement can still produce insanely convex upside. We believe this change makes 42 easier to trade, easier to understand, and more accessible to new users.

Know your finalists: the New York Knicks 🗽 Why even non-fans should care: → No NBA title since 1973. A 53-year wait, in the biggest city in basketball. → Their star, Jalen Brunson: a point guard everyone said was too small. Now he's carrying all of New York. → They swept their last two rounds to get here. Nobody wanted to see them coming. They're the underdog in this series. Win, and the longest drought in the Garden is finally over. Knicks or Spurs? Trade Game 1's score differential → https://t.co/xLuVuH5baO
