Frequently Asked Questions

1. What Is PredictionSwap?

PredictionSwap is the protocol layer for decentralised prediction markets.  Simply plug in a market maker and an oracle for resolution and the smart contracts represent a full architecture for your decentralised prediction market, as well as adding liquidity from any other prediction markets that are using the protocol.

2. Why do we need a protocol layer?

Today, prediction markets operate as their own silos.  If a new application launches, it must build its own markets and its own liquidity. Even when two platforms list the same event, they are separate systems and are dependent on individual operators.  A true protocol layer does not exist. 
PredictionSwap introduces that missing layer and allows for shared markets and pooled liquidity; liquidity for your decentralised prediction market from the beginning.

3. Why PredictionSwap?

As well as allowing for numerous different platforms to pool liquidity, PredictionSwap has a number of key advantages over ‘traditional’ token-based decentralised prediction markets.  The flagship innovation involves treating exposures as the primitive, rather than tokens, which leads to a number of game changing efficiencies.  Prediction market positions become genuinely composable and capital becomes more efficient.  This is explained in more detail in the technical documentation.

4. So what's the difference between PredictionSwap and existing prediction markets?

Two things:

- It addresses a number of structural limitations in existing token-based decentralised prediction markets;
- It allows for liquidity to be shared across different platforms, improving liquidity in each of them.
