# Markets & Assets

## Available assets

Battle Trade supports 60+ assets with real-time prices from **Pyth Network**, the same oracle infrastructure used by major DeFi protocols like Aave and Synthetix.

The core trading pairs in standard battles:

| Asset    | Symbol  | Description                                                   |
| -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Bitcoin  | BTCUSDT | The benchmark. Highest liquidity, lowest relative volatility. |
| Ethereum | ETHUSDT | More volatile than BTC. Reacts to DeFi and L2 news.           |
| Solana   | SOLUSDT | The most volatile of the three. Bigger swings, bigger risk.   |

Hosts can configure which assets are available in their lobby. Some battles may restrict you to a single asset.

## Price feeds

All prices come from Pyth Network's Hermes endpoint, updated multiple times per second. These are the same prices used by real DeFi protocols on-chain.

* No artificial spreads
* No delayed feeds
* No price manipulation by the platform

## Volatility events

Hosts and the algorithmic engine can trigger lobby-wide volatility events that affect price feeds for everyone:

| Event            | Effect                                             |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Circuit Breaker  | Sudden price drop                                  |
| Moon Shot        | Steady price pump over 60 seconds                  |
| Volatility Spike | Rapid oscillating price swings                     |
| Dead Cat Bounce  | Price drops, briefly recovers, then crashes harder |
| Margin Call      | Simulated margin pressure, 5-10% drop              |
| Leverage Surge   | Momentum boost, 5-15% spike                        |
| Wild Card        | Random swing between -15% and +15%                 |
| Blackout         | Trading locked for all participants                |
| Reversal         | Inverts the current trend direction                |

These simulate real market conditions. Learning to trade through them is part of the skill.
