Onchain markets
for asset relationships.
Deterministic.
Settled onchain.
Diverge / 01
A new kind of
derivative.
Every derivative pays out on a number nobody knows yet. For options and perps that number is a price. For DIVERGE it is a relationship.
A DIVERGE market is a derivative on a statistic: the realized correlation between two tokenized stocks over a fixed window. Volatility, beta and dispersion follow. You never take a view on where either stock goes. You take a view on how they move relative to each other.
The contract samples both Chainlink feeds on a schedule, computes the statistic at expiry and pays the side that called it. No one reports the result. The math is the settlement.
Underlying
Not a price. The realized correlation of two tokenized stocks' returns over a set window, sampled from Chainlink feeds.
Payoff
Two-sided parimutuel. Stake SYNC or BREAK against a strike in USDG. Winners split the losing pool pro rata, minus the fee.
Settlement
Pure math over samples already onchain. No reporter, no committee, no dispute window. Same inputs, same result, every time.
- Perps
- direction of a price
- Options
- price against a strike, over time
- Prediction markets
- whether an event happens
- Diverge
- how two prices move together
A derivative on a relationship,
not on a price.
Correlation first.
Vol, beta, dispersion next.
Diverge / 02
Other markets ask
up or down?
Perps, options and prediction markets all price direction. DIVERGE prices whether two assets move together.
DIVERGE is an onchain market for correlation, volatility, beta and dispersion between tokenized stocks. You stake on how two assets behave relative to each other.
- Will NVDA and AMD keep moving together?
- Will TSLA become more volatile than expected?
- Will AAPL decouple from QQQ?
- Will the Magnificent 7 stop trading as one?

Pick a
relationship.
See how assets move together,
then take a side.
How closely they move.
How volatile it's been.
How sensitive to the market.
How much they break apart.
