Important: Trading on prediction markets involves substantial risk of loss. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial condition. You could lose some or all of your deposited funds. Do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
Prediction markets allow participants to trade on the outcomes of future events. The value of your positions depends on the probability and actual outcome of these events. Unlike traditional investments, prediction market positions are binary — they either pay out or become worthless upon market resolution. This means you can lose your entire investment in a single market.
Market prices on the platform reflect the collective assessment of participants and may not accurately predict actual outcomes. Prices can be volatile and may change rapidly based on new information, market sentiment, or manipulation. There is no guarantee that market prices will converge to the true probability of an event occurring. Low-liquidity markets may experience wider spreads and more volatile price movements.
On-chain trading utilizes smart contracts deployed on the Polygon blockchain. While our smart contracts have been designed with security in mind, they may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities or bugs. Smart contract interactions are irreversible once confirmed on the blockchain. In the event of a smart contract failure, you may lose some or all of your deposited funds. The platform includes emergency pause and cancellation mechanisms, but these may not prevent all losses.
Transactions on the Polygon network are subject to network congestion, gas price fluctuations, and potential network outages. Failed transactions may still incur gas fees. The Polygon network, like all blockchain networks, could experience forks, reorganizations, or other technical issues that may affect your transactions and balances. Bridge failures between networks could impact fund availability.
Trading on the platform involves the use of USDC (a stablecoin) and POL/MATIC tokens. While USDC is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US Dollar, there is no guarantee this peg will be maintained at all times. The value of POL/MATIC used for gas fees may fluctuate. Cryptocurrency regulations are evolving, and future regulatory changes could impact the availability or legality of the Service in your jurisdiction.
Market outcomes are determined by designated administrators or automated oracles. While we strive for accurate and fair resolution, there may be disputes about the interpretation of market questions or the accuracy of resolution data. Resolution decisions are generally final, though the platform may provide dispute mechanisms for contested outcomes. Automated resolution relies on third-party data sources which may be inaccurate or unavailable.
There is no guarantee of liquidity in any market. You may not be able to exit a position at a desired price or at all if there are no counterparties willing to trade. Markets with low trading volume may have wide bid-ask spreads, resulting in unfavorable execution prices. The platform does not guarantee that you will be able to withdraw funds at any particular time.
Prediction markets operate in a complex and evolving regulatory environment. The legality of prediction markets varies by jurisdiction and may change over time. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. The platform may be required to restrict access, freeze funds, or cease operations in response to regulatory actions.
The platform may experience downtime, technical failures, or security breaches that could affect your ability to trade or access your funds. While we implement security measures including rate limiting, encryption, and monitoring, no system is completely immune to attacks. The platform is provided "as is" without guarantees of continuous availability.
Nothing on this platform constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All trading decisions are made solely by you. We recommend consulting with qualified professionals before making any financial decisions. Past performance of markets or traders on the platform is not indicative of future results.
