ABC FLOW
Set your price. Clear at one.
FLOW is a voluntary, OTC-style limit-order window on each token's chart. For 30 seconds, sellers set an amount and a minimum price, buyers set an amount and a maximum price. At close, every order that crosses trades at one uniform price. Spot trading stays open the whole time.
Fee 0.3% per fill. Minimum order 10,000 tokens. Up to 4 orders per wallet per window. Why fills don't move the chart

How the price is set
At close, the program tries every price on the window's grid and picks the one that matches the most volume. Ties go to the smaller buy and sell imbalance, then to the price closest to the reference, then to the lower price. The rules are published and deterministic, so anyone can recompute the result.
Everyone who fills pays or receives that single price. The smaller side fills in full. The larger side fills by price priority, and orders exactly at the marginal price share what is left pro rata. Anything unfilled goes back to its owner at settlement.

What FLOW is not
A window is an extra venue with a scheduled close. Buyers set a maximum, sellers set a minimum, and the interest shown live is anonymized per price level. Orders are still public onchain.
- Not a freeze
- The ABC curve keeps trading during every window. FLOW sits alongside spot, it never replaces it.
- Not a queue or a permission to sell
- Nobody has to wait for a window to exit, and joining one is optional.
- Not a promise of a fill
- Orders fill only if the clearing price meets your limit and there is volume on the other side.
- Not a pool trade
- FLOW fills are peer to peer. They do not touch the pool, so they do not move the spot price on the chart. That is not the same as zero market impact.
Your funds during a window
Escrowed on placement
Sell orders lock the tokens. Buy orders lock the maximum cost plus fee. Nothing else in your wallet is touched.
Cancels lock in the final 5 s
You can cancel while the window is open. In the last seconds cancels are rejected, which makes late spoofing harder.
Permissionless settlement
Clearing and settling are open instructions. A keeper runs them, and so can anyone else.
Full refund if it never clears
If a window is not cleared within the grace period, anyone can abort it and every order is returned in full.
