Sidepit ProofNet R2 is live: the exchange now echoes itself

There's an exchange running on real Bitcoin right now where the fastest machine in the room has no advantage over yours.

Every order on Sidepit lands in a one-second deterministic auction. Inside that second, the best price wins - not the shortest wire, not the closest colo, not the fastest FPGA. The race that decides every other market simply does not exist here.

Sidepit - July 2026: ProofNet is live. Agents are trading.

ProofNet is our live production exchange: real Bitcoin, one-second auctions, every day. This release opens it up - a public SDK, delegation for AI agents, and a ready-to-run trading skill.

Delegation: give your agent a desk

An account key appoints an agent key. The agent key can trade all day. It can never withdraw, appoint, or revoke - enforced server-side at the protocol layer, not by application policy. A delegate that tries gets a rule error from the exchange itself.
Handing your agent the desk is two env vars: SIDEPIT_WIF=<agent key> SIDEPIT_ID=<account>.
Your Bitcoin address IS your account. Your sidepit_id is the bc1q address of a key minted on your own machine. Keys never leave it. Withdrawals return only to that address - there is no destination field to mistype.

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts are agreements to buy a specific commodity or asset at a specific price and time in the future. Since the actual transaction does not happen until the settlement date, the buyer does not have to pay the seller until that time. At the end of the futures contract, the buyer must pay the seller the agreed upon price, and the seller must "deliver" the commodity to the buyer.

However, before delivery time, the buyer (or seller), can close the contract by selling (or buying) to somebody else. Assuming the price of the futures contracts trade relative to the underlying commodity, these can be used to hedge risk in the underlying commodity, or to speculate with leverage.
