Five home cities
Five clocks. One pool that never closes.
Meridian's seven companies list at home in Tokyo, Taipei, Seoul, Frankfurt and Paris. Their home exchanges keep hours. Meridian's pools don't: an AMM has no opening bell, so every market trades through every time zone, weekends included.
That gap is the product, and it's also the main risk. A price made while a home market sleeps can be far from where that market opens. How off-hours pricing works
How a price is made
The pool sets the price. The desk anchors it.
The pool
Every market is a constant-product pool pairing a market token with HYPE. Buys raise the price, sells lower it, and the reserves are the price. No oracle sits behind it.
The desk
Meridian's desk seeds every pool and trades it toward the company's home-market price, converted into HYPE. It acts only from addresses published on the Contracts page.
The gap
While a home exchange is closed, the pool keeps trading on traders' and the desk's judgment. When the home market reopens, the desk moves the pool toward it.
Where the money goes
Two loops, both on-chain.
Fees → buybacks
enforced by contract- Swap fee (HYPE)
- BuybackVault
- Buys $MRDN
- Burned
Every swap on every Meridian pool pays its fee in HYPE to the BuybackVault. The vault spends it buying $MRDN on the MRDN/HYPE pool and burns every token it buys. Liquidity providers, the desk included, take no share of fees.

Desk → stakers
funded by the desk- Desk (HYPE)
- Distributor
- Streams 7 days
- $MRDN stakers
Every Monday at 09:00 JST a distribution epoch opens. The desk funds it in HYPE, and the Distributor streams that amount to $MRDN stakers over seven days. The amount is set each week and can be zero. These aren't company dividends.

Synthetic, said plainly
Price exposure. Not shares.
A Meridian market token follows a company's price only as far as the desk's market-making keeps it there. Read what that means before you trade.
Risk & legalNo shares, no custody
Market tokens aren't shares and aren't backed by shares. No one holds shares for you.
No voting rights
No vote, no company dividends, no claim on any company or on the desk.
Prices can drift
No oracle ties a pool to its home exchange. A pool can sit above or below it.
Time-zone gaps
Pools trade while home markets sleep. That is the feature, and the sharpest risk.
