What is Pools Markets?
Pools Markets brings short prediction markets to token-launch surfaces. Markets appear beside eligible tokens on supported launchpads and inside the Pools Markets extension.
The experience starts with the token a user is already viewing. Instead of opening a separate event exchange and searching for a market, the user can inspect a relevant question, choose an outcome and enter a pool.
What each market contains
Every market has:
- a specific asset or event;
- a question with two or more named outcomes;
- an entry deadline;
- an observation or resolution time;
- frozen rules describing sources, measurements and edge cases;
- a separate stake pool for every outcome.
Markets are generated from the asset’s current capabilities. A token that has already graduated from a launchpad, for example, should not receive another “Will it graduate?” market.
What Pools Markets is not
Pools Markets is not:
- a fixed-odds sportsbook;
- an order book for transferable prediction shares;
- a promise that displayed percentages are calibrated probabilities;
- a single-launchpad or single-chain data feed.
Where predictions appear
Predictions can surface through:
- compact controls injected into supported launchpad pages;
- the Explore experience in the Pools Markets extension;
- position and settlement views in the extension;
- future integrations using documented adapters and APIs.
Supported surfaces and networks may differ by release. Check Release status before relying on an integration.
