Polkamarkets

Polkamarkets is a DeFi-Powered Prediction Market built for cross-chain information exchange and trading, where users take positions on outcomes of real world events–in a decentralized and interoperable platform on Polkadot.

Users can monetise their forecasts of future outcomes and events within an interoperable and decentralized infrastructure, where your beliefs become assets with financial value traded openly on the market.

Buy & Sell fractions of event outcomes, or even create your own events where others can take their own positions. And Participate & Provide Liquidity to Earn.

More than just a prediction market, Polkamarkets will have important entertainment features. These include NFT-based gamification, live streaming integration for in-play positions on Esports & Sports, and daily crypto price markets. Live chats and virtual events in online communities will also form a key entertainment value-add to our platform.

Launched on 28/01/2021, by a fully remote team based in Bali, London and Lisbon, Polkamarkets aims to solve problems in the Prediction Markets industry such as lack of liquidity & markets, lack of traders, and duplicate or confusing markets by incentivising liquidity providers and traders to facilitate & take large positions, while a system for curation and resolution ensures efficient and trustworthy markets.

At the intersection of DeFi and information exchange lies the Prediction Market: an area where traders can leverage their knowledge of the past, present and future to forecast specific, real world outcomes. The ability to profit off of information exchange and modeling has formed the basis for much of modern capital markets. With the rise of DeFi, traders are finding yield through decentralised exchange, lending, farming and providing liquidity for others to use. No current player in the market combines DeFi with prediction markets, until now.
