Inflation Expectations Index

A continuous market-implied CPI forecast — no release date required.

Synthesized from prediction-market CPI contracts, Fed funds futures and TIPS breakevens into one continuously-updated inflation-expectations signal, publishable on-chain.

How it's constructed

Multiple independent signal layers.

KOPS indices are composed from layers that each capture a different information regime, fused with a monotonic price transformation.

Historical Base

Tracks the slow-moving base signal through an adaptive model, solved jointly across all inputs — no error propagation from sequential updates.

Market Consensus

Incorporates forward-looking information from distributed aggregation mechanisms — market-implied assessments transformed into the rating space via context-specific transforms.

Live Signal

Real-time market signals inject continuous updates between releases. The layer activates deterministically at each new data boundary and reconciles on settlement.

Trust model

No reference price. Constructive trust.

KOPS indices have no external price to copy — trust is derived from three complementary, verifiable mechanisms.

01

Constructive Verification

Every index update is deterministically traceable to its inputs. Given the public formula, public outcomes and public market data, any observer can independently reconstruct the value.

02

Market Anchoring

The index is continuously anchored to the deepest information markets in the world — constructed from market data, the way VIX is built from S&P 500 options, not discovered through trading.

03

Cause-Effect Guarantee

A hard causal-monotonicity clamp on every settlement: a positive outcome moves the index up or flat, never down. Verifiable from the settlement log — no trust in the operator.
