Since MB is not a bid bot, instead of the market regulating price via demand and supply, we employ some fancy math to make everything work.

input = output
1usd goes in -> 1usd comes out

In our case, we give a few percent profit, so more than 1usd comes out.

And with curation, actually way more comes out. What we calculate is basically how much goes to the buyer? So with 50% curation, if you pay 1 SBD we need to vote you for 2 STU so you get 1 SBD back (simplified).

This post mostly talkes about the changes as a seller but for the buyer not much will change. Buyers need to be aware that the flag pool allows for new mechanics in the game :)

Does that answer your question?
