Flap Token Pools

Flap Token Pools are Strike's public, creator-facing pool format for AI-resolved token markets. They use the native-token pool contracts: creators can launch multi-outcome parimutuel pools backed by a chosen BEP20 token, while traders buy into outcomes and claim or refund after resolution.

Flap Token Pools are live at app.strike.pm/flap.

Creator Guide

Use Flap Token Pools when you want to launch a simple AI-resolved token-data market for a public BEP20 token. The current hosted creator flow is designed for questions that the Strike/FLAP resolver can answer from Ave token data at the time resolution is requested.

Before creating a pool:

  1. Pick the collateral token — choose the BEP20 token users will spend and receive. External collateral carries token risk, so avoid tokens with broken transfers, high transfer taxes, blocked approvals, or thin liquidity.

  2. Define 2-8 outcomes — outcomes must be mutually exclusive and collectively cover every valid result. Include a clear fallback outcome when the threshold is not met.

  3. Set trading and resolution times — buying stops at tradingCloseTime; the AI oracle is requested after resolutionTime. Give users enough time to trade before the market closes.

  4. Write a resolvable prompt — describe the token, chain, metric, threshold, timing rule, equality rule, and exact outcome mapping.

  5. Review the quality checks — the app may flag prompts that look subjective, unsupported, or outside the current Ave token-data scope.

  6. Post the creator bond — official creation requires the configured 0.05 BNB bond plus gas.

  7. Submit the create transaction — Strike hosts hash-checked metadata, then your wallet submits the on-chain transaction containing the metadata hash/URI and prompt.

After creation, share the pool URL, monitor trading before close, and be prepared for the challenge window after AI proposes a winner. If a result is challenged or the AI path fails, Strike can resolve through the configured fallback/admin process.

What They Are

A Flap Token Pool has:

  • 2–8 outcomes — mutually exclusive choices selected by the creator.

  • BEP20 collateral — the pool can use an external token instead of only USDT or STRIKE.

  • Creator prompt — the resolution prompt is stored on-chain with the market.

  • FLAP AI resolution — the resolver uses the fixed Strike-selected FLAP AI model.

  • 30 minute challenge window — after AI proposes an outcome, users can challenge before finalization.

  • Creator bond — official creation posts a 0.05 BNB creator bond.

Strike covers the AI fee. Creators do not choose a model or pay a model-specific oracle fee in the public Flap Token Pool flow.

Official Hosted Flow vs Permissionless Contracts

The contracts are permissionless: a user can call createNativePoolMarket directly on-chain.

The Strike app only shows pools created through the official hosted flow:

  1. Creator fills the guided form at /flap/create.

  2. Strike uploads hosted, hash-checked metadata.

  3. The creator submits the on-chain transaction with the metadata hash/URI and prompt.

  4. The indexer checks that the on-chain metadata hash matches hosted metadata before showing the pool.

Direct on-chain pools remain valid contract-level markets, but they are not automatically listed on the Strike app unless they use official, hash-bound metadata.

Prompt Requirements

The current public Flap Token Pool flow is optimized for token-data markets. Prompts should be resolvable from current Ave-supported token information such as:

  • price,

  • liquidity,

  • volume,

  • FDV / market cap,

  • token-specific metrics available through the resolver's toolset.

Avoid prompts that require historical prices, social/news/web evidence, exchange listing announcements, Discord or X activity, subjective judgments, or private evidence. These are not suitable for the current public Flap Token Pool flow.

A good prompt should include:

  • exact token and chain,

  • resolution-time data rule,

  • explicit threshold,

  • equality rule,

  • complete outcome mapping.

Example:

Resolve using Ave token liquidity data for TOKEN on BNB Chain when this market resolves. Choose "Above $100k" only if reported liquidity is strictly greater than $100,000; otherwise choose "At or below $100k".

Current FLAP AI Oracle Limitations

The FLAP AI Oracle is useful for supported token-data questions, but it is not a general-purpose truth engine. Current public Flap Token Pools have these limitations:

  • Ave current-data only — the public resolver path is expected to use Ave token information at AI invocation time. It should not be used for historical price checks, "before/after" comparisons, or claims that require past snapshots.

  • Limited evidence scope — the public flow is not intended for social, news, exchange listing, governance, Discord, X, or private-information questions.

  • Fixed Strike-selected model — creators cannot choose the AI model, tool configuration, or pay for a different model path in the hosted creator flow.

  • Numeric outcome callback — the resolver returns one outcome index. Prompts must map every possible result cleanly to the listed outcomes.

  • Challenge/fallback required for edge cases — ambiguous prompts, unavailable data, oracle failures, or challenged answers may require admin/fallback handling.

  • No guarantee for unsupported tokens — if Ave cannot provide reliable data for a token, the market may be unsuitable or may need to be cancelled/refunded.

Lifecycle

  1. Create — creator selects collateral, outcomes, trading close, resolution time, and prompt.

  2. Trade — users buy into one or more outcome pools using the selected BEP20 collateral.

  3. Close — buying stops at tradingCloseTime.

  4. Resolve — after resolutionTime, the resolver requests a FLAP AI answer using the on-chain prompt.

  5. Challenge — AI's proposed outcome enters a 30 minute challenge window.

  6. Finalize — if unchallenged, the market finalizes to the proposed winner; otherwise admin review resolves the challenge.

  7. Claim / refund — winners claim, or users refund if the market is invalid/cancelled.

External collateral can be risky. Tokens may be unverified, illiquid, malicious, or otherwise unsuitable. The UI warns users before creating or trading these pools.

Contracts

The native-token pool stack is isolated from the orderbook and standard USDT/STRIKE parimutuel stacks:

  • NativeTokenParimutuelFactory — creates markets and stores metadata hash/URI + on-chain prompt.

  • NativeTokenPoolManager — handles buys and pool accounting.

  • NativeTokenPoolVault — holds BEP20 collateral.

  • NativeTokenPoolRedemption — handles claims, refunds, and creator/challenger payouts.

  • NativeTokenPoolAIResolver — sends the stored prompt to the FLAP AI Oracle and finalizes outcomes.
