FlowState is designed for holders whose token inventory is meaningful relative to available market depth. Instead of requiring the entire position to be executed immediately against the liquidity available at that moment, a fund, VC, founder, team member, advisor, whale or other professional holder can make selected inventory available through a C1 Pool and let external buyer demand consume it progressively.

​
The sell-side decision changes

The conventional question is: “What happens if I sell this position into the market now?” C1 introduces a second option: “What inventory do I want to make available to the market, and let demand fill over time?” That distinction is most relevant where an immediate full-position trade would be large relative to current liquidity.

​
Key characteristics

Single-sided inventory

Deposit only the token being made available for sale. No matching quote-side LP capital is required.

Oracle-derived execution

C1 fills are priced from the oracle rather than from the pool’s reserve balance.

External demand

Aggregators, intent platforms, RFQ paths and other execution infrastructure can connect available inventory to buyers.

Progressive completion

Each fill settles atomically while the overall position can complete over time as demand arrives.

​
How it works

1

Choose how much inventory to make available

A C1 deposit does not need to represent the holder’s full position. The holder chooses the amount to contribute.
2

Deposit into the per-token C1 Pool

The position enters the pool’s contributor FIFO and remains withdrawable until filled.
3

External execution infrastructure reaches C1

Integrated buyer-side venues can source the inventory when C1 is an appropriate route for their demand.
4

Receive settlement proceeds

Each fill accrues proceeds in the approved quote asset used for that trade, net of the applicable seller fee.
5

Claim proceeds or withdraw remaining inventory

Because one pool can accept multiple approved quote assets, proceeds can accrue in more than one ERC-20 asset. Unfilled inventory remains withdrawable.

​
What C1 does not guarantee

Depositing inventory does not guarantee that the full position will fill or specify when completion will occur. A C1 quote does not reserve inventory. Oracle conditions, anchor protections, available demand and broader market conditions can all affect execution. C1 removes C1 pool-induced price impact from a fill. It does not remove broader token price risk, smart-contract risk, oracle risk or the possibility that another venue provides a better executable outcome for a particular trade.

​
When C1 is most relevant

C1 is most useful where:
  • the position is concentrated relative to available market depth
  • the holder does not require immediate full-position execution
  • the token is supported by the relevant FlowState oracle and deployment
  • external demand can reach the C1 inventory through integrated execution paths
Whether C1, an AMM, OTC execution or another venue is preferable depends on the holder’s execution objective, required timing, market depth, fees and risk constraints.
