What can I trade, and at what leverage?
BTC, ETH and CC, each up to 1000×. There is no per-asset tiering — the market you want is not quietly capped lower than the one on the poster. Each settles against its Canton-native asset: BTC via CBTC, ETH via CETH, and CC natively. More markets follow as CIP-56 assets arrive, gated on book depth rather than on demand.
When does Levio open?
Waitlist first, then a closed testnet on Canton, then mainnet. The list is how you get into the closed phase — and everyone on it at launch starts Season 01 with a Vibes multiplier above the base rate. We will email once when testnet opens; there is no drip sequence.
Is 1000× actually usable?
At the very top of the range, rarely — and we will not pretend otherwise. Under ten basis points of tolerance means ordinary spread can take you out before the trade has an opinion. The ceiling is 1000× because that choice should be yours to make rather than ours to impose, and because your liquidation band is on screen before you take it. The terminal opens at 100× for a reason.
How is my liquidation price calculated?
From your margin and the market's maintenance buffer, at the moment you open. The distance is approximately 0.95 ÷ leverage as a percentage of entry — so 100× gives you about 0.95% of room and 1000× gives you about 0.095%. It is shown as both a percentage and a band on the ticket before you commit, and it does not move afterwards unless you add margin.
What does it cost to trade?
Nothing to open, nothing to hold, and no funding payments in either direction. A deduction applies only when a position closes in profit: a settlement deadband of one basis point plus oracle confidence, and a haircut that falls from 2% of profit on small moves to 0.1% on large ones. Close flat or at a loss and you pay nothing beyond the margin you posted.
What can I post as margin?
Canton-native CIP-56 assets. CUSD at launch, with CBTC and CETH as collateral to follow. Margin is held as a real asset on Canton with an issuer and a redemption path — not as a balance in a database Levio controls.
What is the Canton Network?
A privacy-first blockchain built for regulated finance — a "network of networks" where institutions settle tokenized assets with sub-transaction privacy and atomic finality. It is where CBTC, CETH and Canton Coin already live, alongside things like BNP Paribas bond issuance and tokenized Treasury programmes. Levio settles there because the guarantees a bond desk needs turn out to be the same ones a 1000× position needs.
Why build this on Canton instead of an L2?
Three reasons, in order. Privacy: on a public chain a large leveraged position is a visible target with a computable liquidation price, and getting hunted is a real cost. Atomicity: collateral and position move in one transaction, closing the gap that bridged venues live inside. Collateral quality: the assets here have issuers and redemption paths rather than being wrapped by whoever got there first.
Is my position visible to anyone?
No. Canton's sub-transaction privacy means position data is shared with the parties to it and not published to the network. This is a property of the settlement layer rather than an obfuscation trick layered on top of a public ledger.
Can Levio move the price against me?
No. Marks come from independent oracle feeds, not from an internal book we control. If a feed goes stale past its cutoff the market halts rather than settling on a number nobody can defend. A venue that can choose your mark can choose your liquidation, which is why we do not hold that pen.
What happens when I am wrong?
You lose the margin on that position. Nothing else is ever at risk — no negative balance, no claim on your remaining collateral, no clawback weeks later. Each position is isolated, so a liquidation on one market leaves the others untouched.
What do Vibes convert into?
Season 01's conversion is published before the season opens, not improvised after it closes. Vibes accrue on notional you actually closed, multiplied by your leverage tier, and losing trades earn exactly like winning ones. There is no way to farm them without putting on a position — which is the entire design.
Do I need a wallet to join the waitlist?
No. The waitlist takes an email and nothing else — no wallet connection, no signature, no transaction to approve, no permissions granted. An X handle is optional and only used to recognise you if you are already talking to us.
