On October 3, 2025, Ethos said it was starting to integrate Ethos markets into its main app. The plan was to let people buy and sell “long” and “short” positions on people or projects directly in the Ethos network app.
What Ethos announced
Ethos markets had been separate from the main app, and the October 3 post marked the start of moving them into the same app people used for everything else on the network.
The post made three points:
- The integration had begun: Ethos was starting to bring its markets into the main app.
- Two kinds of positions: people would be able to buy and sell “long” and “short” positions.
- People and projects: those positions could be taken on individuals or on projects.
Ethos summed it up in one line: “now it’s easier than ever to short or long your friends.”
Why it mattered
Before the integration, markets sat apart from the main Ethos network app. Putting them directly in the Ethos network app meant someone could, once the feature arrived, take a position on a person or project without leaving the app.
In general usage, going “long” expresses a view that something will rise and going “short” a view that it will fall.
What the post left open
The post described the in-app positions as coming “soon,” and it didn’t give a launch date. It also didn’t explain how positions would be priced or settled inside the app. The post doesn’t record when the integration was completed, and the details above reflect Ethos’s plans as of October 3, 2025.
