### 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.
