Ethos Trade replaced the old Ethos Markets on October 8, 2026. It works on the same idea, trading trust and distrust on a person's reputation, but it's a new set of markets with new rules. Old ETH markets aren't in the app anymore, but you can still withdraw from them.

What happened to my old market and positions?
Your old ETH market and any trust or distrust you held in old markets haven't moved to Ethos Trade. They're separate.
You can sell your old holdings for ETH and claim any market rewards you earned as a creator. See How to withdraw from the old ETH markets.
Your old market's effect on your score is fading out by early December 2026. See How Ethos Trade affects your credibility score.
Can I create an Ethos Trade market if I had an old market?
Yes. Having an old ETH market doesn't stop you or anyone else from creating an Ethos Trade market for your account. See How to create a market on Ethos Trade.
