Choose the contract first. Then choose quantity and the most you will pay in total.
The recorded local purchase adds exactly 0.5 CT to the test wallet; merely requesting the quote adds nothing. The maximum premium is a total purchase budget, not a price per contract.
Read the units before entering a number
1 CT = 1 contract = 1,000,000 atoms. Enter 0.5, not 500000. Primary issuance minimum: 0.1 CT.
Quote means USDG for the intended launch, with six decimals. The clip uses a mock token, not real USDG.
Premium: total for your size. Ask/CT: USDG per whole contract. Valid until: the quote deadline.
A quote is not a fill. A higher price, expired quote, stale oracle or inadequate backing can stop the transaction. Buying can lose the premium and costs.

2. Sell an option you own
A secondary swap needs executable DLMM liquidity. An entered price does not create a buyer.
The local recording finds no executable bid in the current pool walk and stops at preview. It does not add artificial liquidity or depict a simulated final click as a sale.
Set the right fields
Choose the exact series you hold; set Sell options for quote.
Exact input is CT for a sell, USDG for a buy.
Worst all-in price is minimum USDG/CT for a sell, maximum USDG/CT for a buy.
Review the preview, then approve and swap only if acceptable. The app applies a 1% minimum-output tolerance plus your price bound.
An option operator approval covers every series on that option-token contract. Review the wallet prompt; confirm both balances after execution. Sale proceeds are not profit.

3. Back the writer sleeve
Writing contributes capital to back option obligations. It is not buying CT or adding DLMM bin liquidity.
The local clip proves a 100-unit test-token deposit, a matching increase in free capital and receipt of writer shares. No earnings forecast follows from that deposit.
Deposit, then inspect
Check Selected series writer sleeve and its market/expiry.
Enter capital in Collateral tokens to deposit, not CT.
Approve and deposit; check the receipt, free capital and shares.
Redeeming is a different action
FLAT shares to present takes a raw integer of shares, not a requested USDG amount. Redemption pays against available capital and burns shares corresponding to cash actually paid; liabilities stay protected.
Writer capital is at risk: substantial or total loss is possible. Premium collected is not automatically profit; withdrawal of the full deposit on demand is not promised.

4. Wait for final, then claim
Expiry, proposal, finalization, series settlement and holder claim are separate events.
The recording shows live “Awaiting expiry”, then archived local test-chain proposal, challenge, final and claim states. Only a final fixing permits normal settlement; the unchallenged path waits 24 hours, while council resolution of a challenge can finalize sooner.
The standard proposal delay is six hours after expiry, with eligible evidence still required. A proposed number, a live chart price or the passage of expiry is not a claimable payout.
Governance and all five launch council seats are Trion-held. A challenge requires a bond and can forfeit it. Missing/cancelled or recipe-incompatible fixings need the separately gated fallback path, not an automatic refund.

5. Know what you can lose
Capped, collateralized options still have market, execution, oracle, governance and software risks.
Buying spends premium; writing exposes contributed capital; neither guarantees a profitable exit. Screenshots and successful test-chain transactions are not a promise of profit or a security certification.
Before signing
Check current launch status, wallet network and exact series.
Distinguish total premium, CT quantity and USDG per CT.
Inspect approvals, execution limits and receipt status.
Expect collateral issuer/peg risk, oracle/governance risk, software defects and wallet/key compromise to remain possible.
About these recordings. The clips were captured on a local test chain with a valueless test token before launch; the live desk at app.trion.market runs on Robinhood Chain (4663) with USDG. CMPT capped options are the only live product; the contracts are not independently audited. Read trion.market/docs/status.html before funding a wallet.
