Polymarket Platform
Polymarket is an online, event-based trading platform built on blockchain technology. It allows users to speculate on the outcomes of a wide variety of highly-debated future events by trading binary options, with all transactions settled in the $USD Coin stablecoin. The platform has hosted over 900 distinct event markets since its launch.
The platform addresses the challenge of accurately forecasting future events by aggregating the collective knowledge and beliefs of traders. It provides a real-time, quantifiable measure of the perceived likelihood of an event occurring, creating actionable insights from market activity.
The platform serves traders who lack a transparent, accessible, and diverse venue to speculate on non-financial real-world events. It allows them to capitalize on their knowledge or beliefs on subjects ranging from politics to pop culture, which are not tradable in conventional financial markets.
