Prediction Markets, Explained
Everything you need to understand how prediction markets work — from contract pricing and probability mechanics, to on-chain resolution and how Predict compares to the competition.
Prediction markets let anyone trade on the outcome of real-world events: elections, sports finals, crypto price movements, economic indicators. Unlike traditional betting, prices in these markets function as crowd-sourced probabilities: the collective judgement of thousands of traders, each putting real money behind their convictions.
On Predict, those positions also earn yield while they're open, meaning your capital keeps working regardless of how a market resolves. The guides below cover the mechanics, the infrastructure, and how Predict compares to the alternatives.
