The auction floor for KXGo relics · settled on ChronX
Relics earned in the KXGo dungeon trade here — by open outcry when you want the fight in daylight, by sealed tender when you don't. Either way, a bid funds and binds the instant you place it. No snipers. No takebacks. And when the clock runs out, the math decides — not us.
Every relic on this floor was earned in play and attested by the Warden before it was ever listed. Provenance isn't a promise here — it's a record.
Earned floor 47 · Warden-attested · closes in —
Best bid — live
KX 1,420
Your bid — funds & binds on placement
Minimum step: KX 25 over the best bid.
Bound. You lead the lot. If someone outbids you, your escrow refunds in full at close — until then, no takebacks.
Your bid — stays secret
Public ceiling — all anyone ever sees
Escrow locks at the ceiling, not your bid. The gap is camouflage — excess refunds at settlement.
Sealed.
The floor sees only your ceiling: —
Only you hold the preimage. At reveal, anyone — even our watchtower — can open it for you. Until then, your price is yours alone.
New here?
No account to farm, no listing fees, no fine print that moves after you've read it. If you can hold KX, you can bid.
Relics come from the KXGo dungeon and nowhere else. Every one carries its Warden-attested history: which floor, which run, which hands it has passed through.
Bids escrow in KX, ChronX's native asset. Your balance is your bidding power; refunds are automatic at close; and the venue's fee is KX 1, flat, shown on every lot before you bid.
Open outcry or sealed tender — your choice per lot. Every bid funds and binds the moment it's placed; the settlement is math no one can override, including us.
Practice on the mock floorThe lifecycle
Every lot runs the same clockwork. Open lots skip straight from bidding to settlement; sealed lots add one phase in between. Nothing else differs — least of all the ending.
Open lots: your bid is public, must beat the best by the posted step, and funds the moment you place it. Sealed lots: the chain records a commitment and your public ceiling — never your price. Both bind instantly. There is no cancel button because there is no cancel action. It doesn’t exist in the grammar.
Open lots extend the clock on last-minute bids — sniping earns you a longer fight, not a steal. Sealed lots can’t be sniped at all: there’s nothing visible to snipe.
After lock closes, sealed bids unseal during a fixed window. Reveals are permissionless — you, your phone, or our watchtower can open yours, so a dead battery never costs you the lot. Ghosting your own sealed bid forfeits a bond the seller set upfront. Silence has a price tag, and you saw it before you bid.
Once every envelope is open, settlement fires early. Nobody waits on an empty clock.
Best price wins — ties go to whoever locked first. Winner pays, losers refund in full, and the relic moves to its new owner in the same settlement. Every node on the network computes the same winner from the same facts. No auctioneer. No override. No gavel.
Anyone can trigger settlement. The house has exactly the same power here as you do: none.
The settlement layer
ChronX is a post-quantum DAG chain built for promises that have to hold — and an auction is exactly that. Bids here aren’t rows in our database; they’re actions on ChronX, escrowed in KX, closed by a function every node computes identically. Locked.bid runs the floor. ChronX keeps the score. Neither of us can change it.
Season One is relics only: every lot was earned in the KXGo dungeon, carries its Warden-attested history, and trades relic-for-KX in a single atomic settlement. Most lots run open. Sellers choose sealed when the relic is rare enough that showing the bidding would be a spectacle of its own.
Relics first. The rest of the world after.
Why the house can’t cheat you
Most marketplaces ask for trust. This one was designed so trust isn’t load-bearing.
The winner is computed from committed bids and the clock — nothing else. No admin key, no support ticket, no “trust and safety review” can move a settlement. We couldn’t rig a lot if we wanted to, and that’s the point.
The relic and the payment swap in the same settlement, on the same chain, in the same instant. There is no “item not received” on this floor, no tracking number, no dispute queue — the trade either happens whole or doesn’t happen at all.
Every fee on a lot is written into it at creation and settles mechanically alongside the trade. You see exactly what the venue earns before you bid. No surprise final-value fees, no quiet rate changes mid-auction.
On sealed lots, escrow is public — so you escrow a ceiling of your choosing, never your bid. The wallet rounds ceilings to standard rungs so amounts can’t be reverse-read. Bind fully, reveal nothing.
A lawful floor, and proudly boring about it. Relics are digital collectibles earned in play before they’re ever sold — no loot boxes, no chance mechanics, nothing to gamble. Locked.bid lists what can be lawfully traded and nothing else, at any price. Trustless settlement, accountable venue.
