📈 Prediction Markets

The largest on-chain prediction market by volume, letting users trade event outcomes with USDC on Polygon — but US residents are officially excluded and resolution disputes can be slow.

The only CFTC-regulated event-contract exchange in the United States, offering legally compliant prediction markets in USD — but with limited market breadth and mandatory identity verification.

A play-money prediction market platform where most trading uses fictional 'mana' currency rather than real money — unusually low-risk for learning forecasting, with a small real-money charity redemption option.

A newer on-chain prediction market built on Base, focusing on fast-resolving short-duration markets in USDC — promising architecture but constrained by low liquidity and an unproven track record.

A pioneering fully-decentralised Ethereum prediction market that shaped the entire category, now largely dormant due to low liquidity and a cumbersome reporter-based resolution system.

A media-integrated prediction market blending editorial content from Decrypt and DASTAN with points-based and real-money event trading — an interesting hybrid still finding its footing.

A Polkadot-native prediction market protocol experimenting with futarchy governance and a court-based resolution system, hampered by niche appeal and very low liquidity.
