Request access to a desk that is not open

There are 115,094 live curves on this chain whose holders cannot reach ether at any price, and this desk proposes to be the counterparty to them. It is not that yet. Until it is, the only honest thing this page can collect is a note saying who you are and what you are holding, so that the day the desk opens it opens knowing.

Desk closedNothing is posted from this page

Before you write anything

i

This form posts nothing

It runs entirely in your browser. The button composes a message and hands it to your own mail client, already addressed and filled in. Nothing is submitted, stored, queued or logged here, there is no analytics event behind the button, and this site never finds out whether you went on to press send.

ii

The desk is not open

Nobid is not quoting, not holding client assets and not accepting orders. No settlement contract is deployed, so there is no address to approve and, strictly, nothing to be granted access to. The status page carries that component by component.

iii

So the request is a narrow one

The only thing being asked for is to be told when the desk starts quoting, with the position you hold already on the page when that happens. That is the entire product of this form, and saying so is the reason it can be trusted with anything at all.

02The note

Tell the desk what you hold

Every field below ends up in a message composed in your own mail client, addressed to desk@nobid.invalid, which you can read in full before you send it and edit afterwards like any other email. The validation is here so the message arrives complete, not so the page can decide who is allowed to write.

Leave it blank if you hold in your own name.

A ticker, a curve address, or a sentence. The desk cannot look anything up from a name alone.

The bands are the published schedule’s own. Below 250 USD the settlement gas is a material share of the ticket; above 250,000 USD the schedule stops and a person quotes.

Anything the desk should know before it replies — including that you would rather it did not.

Composed by the access form on the Nobid site, which posts nothing: this message
was written in my own mail client and sent by me. I understand the desk is not open
and that I am asking to be told when it is.

If nothing opened, this browser has no mail handler registered. Use the same link directly, or copy the text above into a message to desk@nobid.invalid. Very long messages are truncated by some mail clients; if the body arrives cut short, that happened in the client and not here.

No account is created, no cookie is set by this form, and no ticket number is issued — there is no system on the other side to issue one. If you would rather not use a form at all, the address is desk@nobid.invalid and a plain email is worth exactly as much.

03When it opens

What a quote will need from you

None of this is required today — there is nothing to quote against. It is written down so the first message can carry it, and so nobody is surprised later by a desk asking for something it never mentioned.

The curve
An address, so the quote asset can be read from the contract rather than inferred from a ticker somebody typed.
The quote asset
Which equity token the curve is denominated in. The per-asset census that would answer this for the whole chain is not finished, so for now the holder is the one who knows.
The size, in units of that asset
Not in dollars. The misreading this desk exists for is a reserve denominated in an equity token being read as though it were ether, and a size quoted in dollars reintroduces exactly that ambiguity.
Where the ether goes
Settlement is in ether, on chain, in the same transaction. One asset out means one hedge to run, and one address to check before anything moves.

The book is published. The desk is not open: Nobid is not quoting, holding client assets, or accepting orders. Nothing on this site is an offer, a solicitation, or investment advice.

04Or don’t

You do not have to ask anyone for any of this

The measurement is published with the block it was taken at, the schedule is published term by term, and the quote engine computes the whole waterfall in the page without contacting the desk. Nothing behind this form is a gate on any of it — which is the test of whether a desk publishing its book meant it.
