How a trade works
You ask in words. DeepBookie prices it, builds the transaction, and shows you the receipt. You sign — and a trade is never live until your wallet signs it. Here is the full loop, from question to confirmation.

This is the exact widget the agent renders in chat. Ask for odds, and you get the probability curve across strikes:
Reading the receipt
Every receipt has a colored bar across the top. The color tells you the trade’s state at a glance:
- Ink — proposed. Priced and ready, not signed yet.
- Green — signed. The transaction landed on-chain.
- Dashed — the trade did not happen, and nothing left your wallet. You see
this when:
- You declined the transaction in your wallet, or
- It failed on-chain (for example, not enough dUSDC to cover the bet), or
- You asked for a new bet before signing the old one, so the old proposal was replaced.
A dashed receipt is safe to ignore. Just ask again, or sign the latest one. Here is the receipt in all six states, from loading to signed:
Steps 1–2 are free reads. Only step 4 — your signature — writes to the chain.
Why it works this way
The price is not a guess. DeepBookie computes it from a live volatility model — see Pricing if you want the math.
And DeepBookie never holds your key. It builds the transaction; you sign it yourself, in your wallet or on your machine — never in the cloud. That split is the whole design. Read Sign at the edge for how it keeps your funds yours.
