How fills work

No first-come race. Fills happen in rounds, at one shared price.

1 · Orders arrive

Sellers
Seller A$40
Seller B$55
Seller C$80
·
Buyers
Buyer 1$95
Buyer 2$70
Buyer 3$50

Bids and listings land in any order. Being first buys you nothing — the round waits for everyone.

2 · Sort by price

Sellers
Seller A$40
Seller B$55
Seller C$80
·
Buyers
Buyer 1$95
Buyer 2$70
Buyer 3$50

Cheapest sellers rise to the top; highest buyers do too. Now the best matches sit across from each other.

3 · Find the overlap

Sellers
Seller A$40
Seller B$55
Seller C$80
·
Buyers
Buyer 1$95
Buyer 2$70
Buyer 3$50

Walk down both lists. A pair trades while the seller's price is at or below the buyer's — until they stop overlapping.

4 · Clear at one price

Sellers
Seller A$40
Seller B$55
Seller C$80
·
stop
Buyers
Buyer 1$95
Buyer 2$70
Buyer 3$50

The overlap ends between $80 and $50, so the price is set halfway: $65. Everyone who trades settles there — one price for all.

Timing never decides

Everyone in a round is considered at once.

One price for all

Every buyer pays it; every seller receives it.

Honesty wins

Your true number can only help you, never hurt.

The market sets it

We don't pick the price, or pick favorites.
