Confidence Pools let sponsors bootstrap third-party confidence around an active Safe Harbor agreement on BattleChain. Stakers deposit capital, sponsors top up an optional bonus, and each pool settles based on a moderator-flagged outcome or an expiry backstop. The pool acts as an on-chain confidence mechanism: stakers economically signal their belief that the in-scope contracts will survive the agreement term without being corrupted, and are rewarded from the bonus pool if they do.

Metric is a DEX that introduces the active pool standard, instead of having liquidity sit at fixed prices like passive pools, its liquidity follows an asset's real price wherever it actually trades. A major on a CEX, a stock on the NYSE, even another pool, so a fraction of the capital does the same work. Pools are programmable, with extensions like stop-loss running natively on the liquidity, and anyone can deploy pools or provide liquidity to earn yield. Built to bring real-world assets onchain and make professional market-making a public good.
