# Glossary

## A

**API-Football** — the data service we use to settle soccer (and tennis) markets from official match results.

***

## B

**Best-3rd race** — at the FIFA World Cup 2026, 8 of the 12 third-placed group teams advance to the Round of 32. The "best-3rd race" is the set of markets predicting which 8.

**Bracket Challenge** — Fronex's flagship tournament: one entry, a full set of FIFA World Cup 2026 picks, real USDT prizes.

***

## C

**Call it** — what Fronex says when your prediction is right. We use it instead of "win the bet."

**Climate (pillar)** — host-city weather and hurricane markets, settled from public weather data (Open-Meteo and NOAA).

**Closed beta** — the May 28 → June 6, 2026 invite-only testing window (real USDT, on mainnet) that preceded the June 7, 2026 public launch. Now ended — Fronex is open to everyone outside sanctioned regions; no invite is needed.

**Community / Custom (pillar)** — markets created by Market Owners rather than by the platform. They carry a slightly higher trade fee, and that extra goes to the Market Owner who creates and settles the market.

**Crypto (pillar)** — markets on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and TON. Includes the **Match-Window Crypto** feature.

***

## D

**Drop a prediction** — submit a prediction. We use it instead of "place a bet."

***

## E

**Entertainment (pillar)** — music charts, awards, and summer culture markets, settled from public sources like Spotify Charts.

***

## F

**FIFA World Cup 2026** — the tournament we launch around: 48 teams, 12 groups, 104 matches, June 11 – July 19, 2026, hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We always write the full name.

**Fronex.bio** — our sister product: an AI marketing tool for crypto projects. Public SaaS launches September 2026.

**Fronex.xyz** — our studio's public website, live since June 7, 2026.

**FronexVault** — the on-chain contract Fronex uses for market bookkeeping on TON. Your USDT balance, market stakes, and payouts are tracked in Fronex's ledger and credited automatically — you don't claim a prize, and winnings land in your balance the moment a market or tournament settles.

***

## G

**Gram** — the display name for amounts of TON's native coin in the app — the small bit of coin you spend on network-fee gas, or that a Market Owner locks as a stake. It's the same coin whose ticker is **TON**; "Gram" is just how Fronex labels those amounts. See **TON**.

***

## J

**Jetton** — the token standard on TON. USDT on TON is a jetton.

***

## K

**Knockout** — the stage after the groups (Round of 32 onward). Knockout markets are **two-way** (Team A · Team B) — there's no draw, because extra time and penalties always produce a winner.

***

## M

**Market Owner (MO)** — a user allowed to create Community markets, who earns a share of the trade fees on the markets they make.

**Match-Window Crypto** — Fronex's cross-pillar feature. Every soccer match opens 3+ short crypto markets tied to that match's kickoff and full-time, settled from a live price snapshot within a minute of the final whistle.

**Mini App** — the Fronex app itself. It runs entirely inside Telegram — there's no separate app to install.

***

## O

**Oracle** — a trusted data source we use to settle a market. We use API-Football and TheSportsDB (sports), Binance and CoinGecko (crypto), Spotify Charts (entertainment), and Open-Meteo and NOAA (weather).

**Order book** — the live list of buy and sell orders on a market. On Fronex you predict against other people, not against the house, and the price moves as people trade.

***

## P

**Pillar** — one of Fronex's five market categories: Soccer, Crypto, Entertainment, Climate, Community/Custom.

**Predict** — what you do on Fronex. We deliberately never say "bet."

**Personal vault** — your own wallet on TON, created for you at signup. Your funds sit in your vault, not in a shared platform pool, and you can see them on any TON block explorer.

***

## R

**Round of 32 / R32** — the first knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026, starting June 28, 2026 (16 matches).

***

## S

**Sanctions block** — the four jurisdictions Fronex cannot serve: Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Cuba. Required by the issuer of USDT; enforced before any account is created.

**Soccer (pillar)** — the largest pillar during the FIFA World Cup 2026.

***

## T

**TON** — The Open Network, the blockchain Fronex runs on. **TON** is also the ticker of the network's own coin — one of the five crypto assets we track — and the network you send and receive USDT on. When the app shows an amount of that native coin you spend (network-fee gas) or lock (a Market Owner stake), it's labelled **Gram**: same coin, display name for amounts. See **Gram**.

**Token (closed-beta invite)** — the personal invite code that unlocked the app during the closed beta (now ended). No token is needed anymore — Fronex is open to everyone outside sanctioned regions.

**Tournaments** — multi-market events with their own entry fee and prize pool. The Bracket Challenge is the first; more come after the World Cup.

***

## U

**USDT** — the stablecoin Fronex uses for all funds, fees, and payouts. Always sent and received on the **TON network**.

***

## V

**Vault** — see **Personal vault**.

***

## Things Fronex deliberately does NOT say

These words are **off-limits** in everything Fronex writes:

* **bet** / **wager** / **gamble** — we say **predict** / **drop a prediction**.
* **win the bet** — we say **call it**.
* **long** / **short** / **leverage** — we don't offer leveraged products. Our markets are simple yes/no or multiple-choice predictions.
* **Home / Away** — we use team names. The FIFA World Cup 2026 is played at neutral venues, so there's no home advantage.
* **World Cup** (on its own) — we write the full **FIFA World Cup 2026**.
