Will Team A win the championship?
The market price IS the probability
As traders buy and sell shares, prices adjust in real-time to reflect collective wisdom
Market Creation
A binary question is posed with YES/NO outcomes. Each share pays $1.00 if the outcome occurs, $0 if it doesn't.
Dynamic Pricing
Share prices represent probability. If YES shares cost 67¢, the market believes there's a 67% chance of YES occurring.
Trading & Profit
Traders buy shares they think are underpriced and sell when they believe prices are too high. Correct predictions = profit.
Automatic Settlement
When the event resolves, smart contracts automatically pay $1.00 per winning share. No human intervention needed.
