looks like the old https://docs.kalshi.com/getting_started/exchange_sharding url never made it into the internet archive so i can't pull it up verbatim, but the short version (from memory) is that each market is assigned to one index, and you need to maintain separate per-index balances to collateralize resting orders on that index only

i think it still ultimately is, but the complexity falls onto us in order to avoid needing to do atomic cross-shard balance comparisons, James spoke about it here https://discord.com/channels/871819895443189862/927686720990892032/1504628916776865843

not to bombard you James, but, to jump off of what <@1307399713108135956> and <@523970833371234319> were discussing above, is there more info coming down the pipe on the exchange sharding/indexing?
