Prediction markets beside token launches.
Pools Markets is in active development. Availability, supported launchpads and contract deployments are listed in Release status; the architecture does not imply that every integration is already live.
The essential model
Pools Markets uses shared outcome pools, also known as a pari-mutuel model. Your amount joins the pool for the outcome you choose. After resolution, positions in the winning outcome share the amount available from the other pools in proportion to their stake.
This differs from an order-book prediction exchange:
- you do not buy a transferable YES or NO share from another trader;
- the displayed outcome share is a pool balance, not a fixed price or guaranteed probability;
- an accepted position stays open until the market resolves or is voided;
- Pools Markets is not the counterparty to the position.

One system, separate trust boundaries
Pools Markets connects asset discovery, deterministic market synthesis, economic risk controls and an onchain prediction protocol. These parts remain separate so discovery logic cannot change an open market’s rules or settlement.
The short title helps you find a market. The published rules determine how it resolves.
