Auctions
The resale book is a fixed ask: the seller names a number and the first buyer takes it. An auction is the other shape. A clock, an open book of bids, and a price the room decides.
The standing bid is held out of the high bidder's balance and released the second they are outbid. That means the winner's coins are always there at settlement, and it means a bid here is a real commitment while it stands.
Auctioning a house takes it off any fixed ask for the duration, and a database constraint allows only one active auction per address, so the same home can never be sold twice.
An auction can be pulled while nobody has bid. Once the first bid lands it runs to the clock and settles to the highest bidder, so price discovery cannot be taken and walked away from.
A settled auction pays 2.5% to the dev wallet and 97.5% to the seller, exactly like a resale. Provenance and the locked early-buyer multiplier travel with the address.
Put a home up
Auctions start from your portfolio. Pick a start price, a minimum increment, and a clock of up to a week. Unlist the home from any fixed ask first.
