Contro Alpha: Proof of GLOB
Trade, create, and stress-test Gradual Limit Order Books (GLOBs) before the debate revolution arrives.
Introduction – What Is Alpha?
“The INIT token will hit $50M TVL by end of June, you’ll see!”
“Nah man, it’s a ghost chain!”
“Wanna bet?”
Now you can - with Contro Alpha. Launching Wed, 11 June 2025, our testnet gives you a free playground for binary prediction markets built on our groundbreaking peer-to-peer liquidity mechanism, Gradual Limit Order Books (GLOBs).
If you want to create markets like “Will this sci-fi movie win an Oscar?” or “Will this DAO’s proposal pass?”, Alpha lets you do just that, while experiencing how GLOBs prevent frontrunning through gradual trade execution, ensuring everyone gets fair, uniform pricing. It’s your chance to experiment without risk, build your pioneer reputation, and help shape the future of transparent, decentralized debate.

Why We’re Building This – Contro’s Long-Term Vision
We’re sick of outrage-fueled echo chambers. That’s why Contro exists - to make engaging with opposing views fun, competitive, and rewarding. We’re building a permissionless debate market platform that turns discourse into a game, where having skin in the game teaches more than hot takes ever could. Imagine a global arena where competing ideas don’t just divide - they entertain, enlighten, and reward everyone brave enough to participate.
Contro Alpha is our proof-of-concept, starting with binary prediction markets to nail down GLOBs’ fairness and scalability. The full debate markets—where you’ll bet on nuanced arguments rather than simple yes/no outcomes—are coming next. By joining Alpha now, you’re helping build a future where discourse brings people together instead of driving them apart.
Inside the Engine – GLOBs in Plain English
What sets Contro Alpha apart? Gradual Limit Order Books (GLOBs), our innovative liquidity engine that levels the playing field. Here’s the simple version:
- Streaming Peer-to-Peer Liquidity: Place a trade, and it “drips” out gradually, preventing frontrunning or MEV. No bots can snipe your order.
- Dynamic Clearing Price: GLOBs balance supply and demand to set a clearing price for each time window. As new orders arrive, the price adapts, and your trade executes only if the price meets your limit.
- Smart Limit Orders: Set buy or sell limits, and GLOBs auto-execute when prices align (or pause if they don’t). You can even flip between buyer and seller as prices shift, acting like a market maker without complex setups.
This gradual execution means no instant trade confirmations, but the tradeoff crushes “toxic flow”. GLOBs make markets fair and scalable for any topic, paving the way for debate markets. Curious to learn more? Read our deep-dive article.
Why Alpha Matters (to You)
