Question 1

What is a CS2 trade-up contract?

Accepted Answer

In CS2 you can consume 10 skins of the same rarity to receive 1 random skin of the next rarity up, drawn from the collections of your inputs. FloatSmith finds and evaluates the contracts where that gamble is actually profitable.

Question 2

How are trade-up odds calculated?

Accepted Answer

Each collection's share of your 10 inputs decides its share of the roll, split evenly across that collection's higher-tier skins - exactly like the game does it. 7 inputs from a collection with 2 outcomes gives each of those outcomes a 35% chance.

Question 3

How is the output float calculated in a trade-up?

Accepted Answer

Each input's float is normalized to its own skin's float range, the 10 normalized values are averaged, and that average is mapped into the outcome's range. FloatSmith uses this exact formula, which matches real in-game results.

Question 4

How accurate are FloatSmith's prices?

Accepted Answer

Prices blend several public sources, are cross-checked against real Steam Market listings, and suspected manipulated prices are flagged. The Top Deals board only publishes trade-ups whose every price was verified against live Steam data within the last 15 minutes.

Question 5

Is FloatSmith free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The scanner, verified deals board, calculator, knife contracts, skin analyzer and trade-up tracker are all free with no pro tier. The site is supported by ads.
