Frequently asked questions
What are prediction markets?
What are prediction markets?
Prediction markets are financial markets but for real-world events, such as elections, award shows, weather, sports, and more. On a prediction market, users can buy YES contracts or NO contracts. If a user is right — meaning they bought a YES contract and the event happens, or a NO contract and it does not happen — they get paid out $1 per contract. If wrong, they get paid $0.
Prediction-market positions involve risk. Users may lose the entire amount paid for a position, and fees, spreads, slippage, and taxes may affect their return.
How does pricing work?
How does pricing work?
Markets are priced on a $0–$1 scale. A YES share at $0.65 means the market implies a 65% probability. If the market resolves YES, each share pays out $1.00. If it resolves NO, the share is worth $0.
What tokens can I deposit?
What tokens can I deposit?
