Vorepo prices each repository ticker from public GitHub momentum signals (stars, contributors, commits, broader public interest), with anti-manipulation safeguards applied to every trade. Below — what that means in practice.
Public momentum data from official sources:
No private data. No off-chain influencer feeds. No paid signals from third parties.
Prices reflect the underlying momentum — when a repository's signals strengthen, the ticker price tends up; when they weaken, it tends down. Multiple smoothing layers prevent flash-spikes and flash-crashes; anti-manipulation gates apply on every trade.
Trades execute instantly against a deterministic algorithm. There is no order book, no spread games, no front-running.
Every trade passes through industry-standard safeguards. Suspicious activity — coordinated stargazing campaigns, wash-trading, whale strategies — is filtered or penalized. Sharp price moves trigger automatic trading suspension.
Detection parameters and specific thresholds are not published. The same convention is followed by Polymarket, Coinbase, Kalshi, and every regulated exchange. Publishing exact values would let attackers plan around them.
Vorepo runs an automated Pricing Engine that helps prices stay aligned with momentum signals. Every engine trade is publicly recorded — buyer or seller marker NULL in the trades table — and visible at /algo-mm.html in real time. Users always have priority.
Every ticker is backed by dedicated USDC reserves. Sells are funded from the same reserves that received the buys. Solvency is verifiable on-chain at the public custody address — see /reserves.html for live coverage and the daily proof-of-reserves snapshot.
Specific algorithm constants, threshold values, signal weights, dampening parameters, and detection internals are not published. This is deliberate — the academic literature on disclosed circuit-breaker thresholds is consistent that publishing exact numbers is itself a manipulation aid. Industry standard is to disclose mechanisms but withhold specifics. We follow the same convention. Full constants are provided to regulators on request.
