Polkamarkets Whitepaper

DeFi and Polkadot.
Powered Prediction Market

The Problem
At the intersection of DeFi and information exchange

lies the Prediction Market : an area where traders can
leverage their knowledge of the past, present and
future to forecast specific, real world outcomes.
Currently, existing prediction markets suffer from key

problems such as lack of liquidity & markets, lack of
traders, and duplicate or confusing markets.
Why Polkamarkets?
Polkamarkets aims to solve these problems by

incentivising liquidity providers and traders to facilitate
& take large positions, while a system for curation and
resolution ensures efficient and trustworthy markets.
There is no market winner, yet
The ability to profit off of information exchange and

modeling has formed the basis for much of modern
capital markets.
With the rise of Decentralised Finance (DeFi),

traders are finding yield through decentralised
exchange, lending, farming and providing liquidity
for others to use.
No current player in the market provides all of this

together
Why isn’t it working?
