Prediction markets
Predikon
A prediction exchange, running unattended on demo funds.
Why it exists
A price tells you what something costs. A prediction market tells you what people think will happen, and how sure they are — which is the more useful number, and the one no exchange has ever published.
How it works
1,433 open markets, created and maintained without a human writing them — crypto, sports, esports, economics, equities, weather and elections. Of a thousand sampled, 743 have already resolved and paid out.
Every market publishes a hash-locked resolution rule before anyone can bet: named source, exact field, settlement time, tie and void rules. Outcomes are signed and independently verifiable, and a live proof of user liabilities is published.
Markets are written by data feeds, not by hand. Over a thousand are open at any time across crypto, sport, economics, equities, weather and elections.
Before anyone can bet, the market publishes a hash-locked resolution rule: named source, exact field, settlement time, tie and void rules, with worked examples.
Settlement is signed with a key anyone can check, and a Merkle proof of user balances is published continuously. You do not have to believe the result — you can verify it.
What is true today

Why this category
Prediction markets stopped being a curiosity in 2026, and the numbers are public rather than ours.
Those are two venues in one category, and the World Cup drove the record. It is a real market with real revenue — which is the case for building here, and is not a claim about what Predikon will earn. Predikon trades demo funds and has generated no fee revenue.
