How timed options work

CryptoWorld timed options are short-duration paper contracts. You choose call or put, enter a USDC amount, and the contract settles automatically at expiry against the platform reference price.

Durations and target payout

The platform offers several durations. The target payout is shown before submission and depends on the selected duration:

• 30 seconds: 18% target payout.
• 60 seconds: 30%.
• 180 seconds: 40%.
• 30 minutes: 50%.
• 1 hour: 60%.
• 6 hours: 70%.
• 12 hours: 80%.
• 24 hours: 90%.
• 1 day: 100%.
• 7 days: 110%.
• 15 days: 120%.

How to place an option

1. Open Options trading and choose the underlying market.
2. Expand Option chain & duration and select a contract duration.
3. Choose Call if you expect the price to be above the strike at expiry, or Put if you expect it below.
4. Enter the USDC amount. The ticket converts it to contracts at the current ask.
5. Review the target profit, estimated payout, and the 0.02% platform fee.
6. Submit the order and keep the countdown screen open. Settlement is automatic after expiry.

How settlement works

At expiry, the platform compares the settlement price with the strike. A correct direction receives the target payout; an incorrect direction loses the premium. The countdown screen closes shortly after settlement and the position appears in the option P&L table.

Fees

The platform fee for options is 0.02% of the premium. The fee is shown separately on the ticket before you submit.

Risk notes

Short-duration options are highly sensitive to price noise and data latency. A position can move from profit to loss in seconds. Target payout percentages are not annualized returns, not guaranteed income, and not a prediction. Never risk funds you cannot afford to lose.
