Key claims & sources

✓
Frontend trading is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. ET, and deposits are set to pause 15 minutes earlier so users need to fund accounts before launch.
✓
Papertrade set trading for 10 a.m. ET on Oct. 10, and user deposits are kept separate from the house-side pool, which begins at zero and is meant to grow from traders’ losses.
✓
The launch timing was also set for 10 a.m. ET Saturday, and the house-side pool was described as starting from zero at the outset.

What it means

Users who already funded accounts are the ones most immediately affected, because trading is set to start at 10 a.m. ET and deposits are scheduled to stop 15 minutes earlier. Anyone waiting until the launch window will have to have funds in place before trading begins, while the venue’s house-side pool starts from zero.

In practice, the launch changes the timing of access more than the structure of the venue: frontend trading opens at a set hour, and deposits pause shortly before that. The separate house-side pool remains a distinct pool rather than being mixed with user deposits, and it begins at zero. (per thedefiant.io)
