[DCR] Wind Down 2 Low-Liquidity and Inactive Markets

Summary

This proposal seeks to wind down and move the following 2 markets to final settlement:

KAS-USD
USELESS-USD

These markets have shown no recent trading activity, no open interest, and limited market demand.


Rationale

The selected markets exhibit:

  • No recent trading activity

  • Zero open interest

  • Limited market depth and weak demand

Market details:

  • KAS-USD: last traded on April 1, 2026, 35% bid-ask spread, $0 open interest

  • USELESS-USD: last traded on April 2, 2026, 6% bid-ask spread, $0 open interest

Markets with no open interest and prolonged inactivity do not provide meaningful trading opportunities and reduce overall market efficiency.


Motivation

Delisting these markets will:

  • Improve overall market quality and trading experience

  • Reduce operational and oracle overhead

  • Keep the product offering focused on active markets

  • Maintain a cleaner and more capital-efficient trading environment


Technical Implementation

The proposal will:

  • Disable the affected markets

  • Transition both listed pairs to STATUS_FINAL_SETTLEMENT

  • Disable associated price feeds
