Prediction marketsHow predictions work

Predict what you know.

On-chain markets per match. No bookmaker — the crowd's positions set the implied probability. 5% fee on the winning pool — 1% funds the leaderboard.

    Pick a market

    Three core markets per match:

    • 1X2 Winner — Home / Draw / Away
    • Over/Under goals — e.g. over 2.5
    • Both teams to score — Yes / No

    Choose side and amount

    Pick an outcome. Stake in USDC, or any supported token — the router converts automatically via Kayen DEX. Dialog shows the live pool, your implied probability and an estimated payout.

  3. 03 →

    Confirm on-chain

    One signature. Your stake joins the outcome's pool the moment the tx mines — immutable until settlement. Final payout depends on the closing pool distribution.

  4. 04 →

    Settle and claim

    Result posts on-chain at full-time. Winners sign a claim transaction. USDC lands in your wallet — no middleman, no manual approval.

// Aside — Where the probability comes from

Each outcome's implied probability is the share of total USDC staked on it. The crowd sets the odds. Sharp-book references are shown only as a hint when no positions have been taken yet.

03
The economicsHow the pool pays out

Winners split the pool. Pari-mutuel.

No bookmaker. No odds set in advance. The crowd's positions set the implied probability — winners share what losers staked, minus a small fee.

  1. 01 →

    Pick an outcome

    Each market has 2-3 outcomes (Home / Draw / Away, Over / Under, etc.). Pick one — your stake joins that outcome's pool.

  2. 02 →

    Stake USDC

    Your stake is locked in the match contract until full-time. Stake in USDC directly, or any supported token — the router converts via Kayen DEX in the same tx.

  3. 03 →

    Match resolves

    When the score is final, the resolver reads it on-chain and identifies the winning outcome. The contract closes the market — no manual settlement.

  4. 04 →

    Claim your share

    Winners split 95% of the total pool, pro-rata to their stake on the winning outcome. 5% protocol fee — 1% funds the leaderboard rewards, 4% goes to treasury.

Void protection. If no one staked on the winning outcome, the market is auto-cancelled and every stake is refunded — no orphan winners, no lost USDC.
