Traders are encouraged to deposit USDT in advance to ensure they’re ready when trading opens. Early preparation helps avoid last-minute network congestion and ensures seamless participation.

🔐 Spot Trading Opening Rules

To maintain market stability during the initial moments of trading, OKX has implemented protective measures for the first 5 minutes after the market opens.

Note: Parameters X, Y, and Z are dynamically adjusted based on real-time market conditions and are subject to change without prior notice.

These mechanisms promote fair price discovery while minimizing the risk of flash crashes or pump-and-dump scenarios.

🎯 What Is a Call Auction?

OKX uses a call auction mechanism for new spot listings like DUCK/USDT. This system allows traders to place buy and sell orders during a designated period—here, a 1-hour call auction window—before continuous trading begins.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Traders submit limit orders at their preferred prices.
  2. The system aggregates all orders.
  3. An indicative opening price is calculated based on supply and demand.
  4. Orders are matched at or near this price when trading goes live.

This process ensures a transparent and balanced start to trading, reducing the impact of early speculation.

Additionally, OKX will display the project team’s suggested opening price on the trading chart at launch. While this price is provided by the DuckChain team for informational purposes and reflects their valuation perspective, it does not influence the actual execution price determined by the call auction.
