What is Noise?
Noise is a platform to discover and curate culture. Curators create pages for trends and brands.
Communities discover them, trade listed markets, and reward the people who found them first.

What can I trade?
You can trade continuous long and short markets on listed trends. Curators propose pages, but an
admitted page must complete the listing process before it becomes tradeable. See
Curators.
What is relevance?
What is relevance?
Relevance is the central evaluation number on Noise, shown with the ° mark. It is a five-minute
exponential moving average of the order-book-derived market price. See Relevance.
What is the difference between market price and relevance?
What is the difference between market price and relevance?
Market price is a quantity-weighted top-of-book price that responds immediately to the best bid,
best ask, and their available quantities. Relevance is a five-minute moving average of that market
price. See How It Works.
How does funding work?
How does funding work?
Funding periodically transfers value between long and short positions in response to market
conditions around relevance. Positive funding means longs pay shorts; negative funding means
shorts pay longs. Noise is moving the calculation toward an impact-price input, so its exact inputs
and weights remain market-structure parameters. The trading interface shows the current rate and
next settlement time. See How It Works.
What happens as a position approaches liquidation?
What happens as a position approaches liquidation?
Below an 80% margin ratio, no risk action is taken. At 80%, Noise sends an add-margin warning. At
90%, the matching engine can begin forced preventative reductions. At 100%, it performs regular
liquidation at available order-book prices and can use auto-deleveraging if liquidity is
insufficient. See How It Works.
How do I become a curator?

Curation access grows through existing curators inviting people whose judgment they trust. This
invitation network makes access accountable to the people already participating. Curators can earn
monthly USDC rewards from the curation reward pool. See Curators.
What affects curator rewards?
What affects curator rewards?
Quality Score currently considers page views, votes, posts, replies, and participating authors.
Signals are smoothed over time and compared with the active curator pool. The resulting score
determines each eligible curator’s share of the monthly curation reward pool. Market price,
trading volume, positions, open interest, fees, and other financial metrics do not increase a
page’s score. Signal weights can evolve, and Noise will document material changes before they
affect a payout period.
