# CLOB

## Clob Pair

[Clob pair](https://github.com/dydxopsdao/networks/blob/fd7ee6e63e7e4b3ffab4fe600ac7cdb77c28d88d/dydx-mainnet-1/genesis.json#L618-L949) represents a Perpetual, Spot or a given product in the state. Each clob pair has the following parameters:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="318"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Title</td><td>Definitions</td></tr><tr><td><code>id</code></td><td>ID of the orderbook that stores all resting liquidity for this CLOB.</td></tr><tr><td><code>status</code></td><td><p>Status of the CLOB, which could be any of the following:</p><ol><li><code>STATUS_UNSPECIFIED</code>: Default value. This value is invalid and unused.</li><li><code>STATUS_ACTIVE</code>: this represents an active clob pair.</li><li><code>STATUS_PAUSED</code>: this represents a clob pair that is paused until further notice.</li><li><code>STATUS_CANCEL_ONLY</code>: clob pairs in this state only accept cancellations.</li><li><code>STATUS_POST_ONLY</code>: clob pairs in this state only accept orders which are post-only.</li><li><code>STATUS_INITIALIZING</code>: this represents a newly-added clob pair. Clob pairs in this state only accept orders which are both short-term and post-only.</li></ol></td></tr><tr><td><code>perpetual_clob_metadata</code></td><td>Product-specific metadata.</td></tr><tr><td><code>step_base_quantums</code></td><td>Minimum increment in the size of orders on the CLOB, in base quantums.</td></tr><tr><td><code>subticks_per_tick</code></td><td>This parameter defines the tick size of the orderbook by defining how many subticks are in one tick, i.e. the subticks of any valid order must be a multiple of this value.</td></tr><tr><td><code>quantum_conversion_exponent</code></td><td><code>10^Exponent</code> gives the number of QuoteQuantums traded per BaseQuantum per Subtick.</td></tr></tbody></table>

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dydx.community/dydx/modules/governance/governance-adjustable-parameters/clob.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
