Prologue
Every weekday at half past nine, a bell rings on a street in New York, and the world starts trading.
At four, it rings again. The floor empties. The money goes home.
Crypto never learned that rhythm. It trades all day and all night, until nothing means anything.
We think a market needs a heartbeat.
So The Floor keeps the old hours. Open with the bell. Closed with the bell. Written into the contract, where nobody can move them.
Six and a half hours to trade.
The rest of the day belongs to the crowd.
So the question is: what happens after dark?
After hours
The floor is closed.
The room is open.
Place a bid with ETH or an ask with FLOOR. At the 9:30 bell every order fills together, first, at one price.

FAQ
Questions from the floor
Why can't I trade at night?
Because the market is closed. Outside 09:30 to 16:00 New York time, weekends and market holidays, the pool says no.
Who controls the switch?
Nobody. The hours are code.
What does a trade cost?
1% each way, taken in ETH, plus a small 0.3% pool fee.
Is my money stuck overnight?
Your coins stay in your wallet. You just can't swap them in the pool until the bell.
How do after hours orders work?
When the market closes, place a bid with ETH to buy at the open, or an ask with FLOOR to sell at the open. At the 9:30 bell every order fills together, first, at one price. Your results land in your wallet automatically.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. Cancel any time until 9:28 and get everything back. If anything goes wrong, everyone gets their deposit back.
Can I add or remove liquidity?
Yes, any time, except for a couple of minutes around the opening bell (9:28 until the book fills), when adding and removing both pause.
What about half days?
Like the real thing. The day after Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve close at 13:00.
