Overview

• Aggregate the diverse knowledge and insights of a large and varied group of participants, a phenomenon often referred to as the "wisdom of the crowd"

• Advantages Compared to Traditional Forecasting Methods | PMF, Real Income

  1. P2P, No Central House Edge
     • All profits and losses flow between users. There is no operator baking in a guaranteed percentage of every pot.
     • no central intermediary controls custody or pricing, regulators or single points of failure can’t shut the service down by targeting a house operator.
  2. Real-time Trades open before settle down
     • You can enter, hedge, scale, or exit positions at any moment as news breaks—even seconds before deadline.
     • Odds update continuously, often faster than traditional books that manually adjust lines.
  3. Profit from your knowledge/Information
     • Prediction markets align incentives such that truthful information is rewarded. If you know something or have insight, you stand to profit by betting correctly. Likewise, if you provide an accurate outcome report (in oracle systems like Augur’s or UMA’s), you earn rewards​
  4. Global Liquidity, 24/7 Access
     • Deeper liquidity and more stable odds for major events, as traders from anywhere contribute to price discovery. Traditional prediction markets often had siloed user bases
     • Global pool of traders at all hours. Liquidity isn’t fragmented by jurisdiction or time zone.
  5. Innovation in Market Types
     • Scalar markets allow trading on the distribution of a numerical outcome (e.g. temperature, stock price) rather than just binary outcomes.
  6. Anti-Cycling, Insurance and Event Hedging
     • Markets for natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes), pandemics, or commodity yields can allow those exposed to these risks to hedge.
     • anyone can create or participate in such risk markets without going through traditional insurance underwriting
  7. DeFi Primitives
     • Yield-bearing collateral could be used so that stakes earn interest until the market resolves, or markets could be integrated into DAO governance

• Risks and Challenges

  1. Regulatory Uncertainty
     1. Prediction markets, especially on certain topics, often run afoul of gambling and financial laws. In the U.S., real-money betting on events like elections or sports is heavily regulated – considered either gambling (needing a state gambling license) or as binary options (which fall under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for event contracts). Polymarket, 2021, CFTC fined Polymarket $1.4 million
     2. U.S. regulatory environment is strict and uncertain, most decentralized prediction markets either geo-block U.S. IPs
     3. Europe is somewhat more fragmented, MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) was passed, but MiCA primarily covers crypto-assets like stablecoins and service providers like exchanges​. a binary option on an event, it might be considered a financial instrument under MIFID II (which would be problematic without licensing). On the other hand, if viewed as gambling, each EU country has its own rules.
  2. Misinformation and Market Manipulation
     1. using money not to profit from the event outcome, but to influence opinion. In a low-liquidity market, such tactics are easier since fewer counter-bets are needed to move the price.
     2. wash trading to inflate volume: in the run-up to the 2020 election, blockchain analysis suggested some Polymarket traders were trading with themselves to boost apparent activity, possibly to attract attention or earn liquidity rewards​
  3. Oracle Manipulation and Failure
     1. Hack on the oracle’s governance rather than a hack of the smart contract: a user with large UMA token holdings managed to influence a governance vote on an outcome in their favo in 2025 on Polymarket
     2. contentious real-world events can pose challenges: if an outcome is not black-and-white, the oracle mechanism might get bogged down in disputes (consider a question like “Will X happen by date Y?” – if partial progress happened, some might argue it fulfilled the condition, others not)

Product Mechanism

Overview

Markets

• Market Types
  1. CTF Exchange: Single multi-outcome markets present straightforward scenarios with multiple possible outcomes for a single question. For instance, “Biden drops out of presidential race?” supports two possible outcomes: Yes or No.
  2. NegRisk CFT Exchange: Mutually exclusive binary markets: break down complex scenarios into multiple yes/no questions, each focusing on a specific outcome. For instance, “Presidential Election Winner 2024” can be broken down into single questions, each for each candidate (”Will Harris win the 2024 US Presidential Election?” or “Will Donald Trump win the 2024 US Presidential Election?”), each supporting two possible outcomes.
• Markets are created by Polymarket team
• Market is identified by Condition ID, derived from
  • Oracle Address: UMA
  • Question Hash
  • Outcomes: 2 for Binary Market

Price = Odds = Probability

• The inherent link between the price of a contract and the implied probability of an event occurring provides a valuable, real-time, and aggregated view of market sentiment.
• Shares of "Yes" and "No" is priced between $0~$1
• Price = Odds
  • Generally, 1 : 2
    • Means you bet 1 USD, could get 2 USD back, 100% return
  • In Polymarket, 0.5
    • Means you buy 2 shares at 0.5USD, total 1 USD, you could get 2 USD back, 100%
• Initial Price
  • Market maker place limit order, when "Yes" and "No" limit price(e.g. 0.7 + 0.3 = 1) matches, set the market price
• Future Price
  • If spread < $0.1: midpoint of the bid-ask spread
  • If spread > $0.1: last traded price

Conditional Tokens Framework (CTF)

• Gnosis's Conditional Token Framework
• Share / Outcome: ERC1155 token is identified by Position ID
  • Collection:
    • Parent Collection ID: nonempty proper subset of a condition’s outcome slots which represents the sum total of all the contained slots’ payout values, the outcome subsets are sequenced by index, e.g. ["Yes", "No"]
    • Collection ID: Parent Collection ID, Condition ID, and Index. e.g. 0 for "Yes"
  • Position
    • Position ID: Collection ID + Collateral Token Address(USDC Address)
• Orders: represented as signed typed structured data (EIP712)
  • FOK: A 'Fill-Or-Kill' order is an market order to buy shares that must be executed immediately in its entirety; otherwise, the entire order will be cancelled.
  • GTC: A 'Good-Til-Cancelled' order is a limit order that is active until it is fulfilled or cancelled.
  • GTD: A 'Good-Til-Day' order is a type of order that is active until its specified date (UTC seconds timestamp), unless it has already been fulfilled or cancelled. There is a security threshold of one minute: If the order needs to expire in 30 seconds the correct expiration value is: now + 1 miute + 30 seconds

CTF Exchange

• CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) | BLOB (Binary Limit Order Book), like CEX
  • Off-chain matching/ordering services, Off-chain Operator is responsible for matching, ordering, and submitting matched trades to the underlying blockchain network for execution. Order placement and canellation can happen immediately off-chain
  • On-chain settlement/execution happens
  • Shares are backed by USDC, trading are between CTF ERC1155 assets and ERC20 PToken assets <=> ERC20
• Built-in DEX: Each Pair of "Yes" and "No" is equal to $1
  • One side is maker, one side is taker
  • 1 A  + 1 A'  = **1 `C
  • A - ERC1155 outcome token, shares = tokens.
  • A' - ERC1155 outcome token, complement of A, shares = tokens.
  • C - ERC20 collateral token.
• Three Scenarios
  • Trading: Buy and Sell A / A'
    1. Transfer 50 token A from userB into CTFExchange
    2. Transfer 25 C from userA into CTFExchange
    3. Transfer 50 token A from CTFExchange to userA
    4. Transfer 25 C from CTFExchange to userB
  • Mint: Buy A and A' at same time and match as well
    1. Transfer 25 C from userB into CTFExchange
    2. Transfer 25 C from userA into CTFExchange
    3. Mint 50 token sets (= 50 token A + 50 token A')
    4. Transfer 50 token A from CTFExchange to userA
    5. Transfer 50 token A' from CTFExchange to userB
  • Merge: Sell A and A' at same time and match as well
    1. Transfer 50 A' from userB into CTFExchange
    2. Transfer 50 A from userA into CTFExchange
    3. Merge 50 token sets into 50 C(50 token A + 50 token A' = 50 C)
    4. Transfer 25 C from CTFExchange to userA
    5. Transfer 25 C from CTFExchange to userB

Prediction Efficiency and Accuracy

• Probability Accuracy
  • Prediction markets are often more accurate than experts, polls, and pundits. Traders aggregate news, polls, and expert opinions, making informed trades. Their economic incentives ensure market prices adjust to reflect true odds as more knowledgeable participants join
  • Market efficiency rely on capital efficiency, except in extreme cases, capital drives the market expectation
    
• In Reality: Polymarket Historical Accuracy and Bias
  • Based on the expected vs actual outcomes, most events on Polymarket have historically been overpriced.
    • We can see this because every single bucket, except the 95-100% bucket, resolves to "yes" less frequently than expected. The expected rate or "yes" resolutions should be roughly halfway between the top and bottom of the range of each bucket (e.g., the 0-5% bucket would be expected to resolve to "yes" about 2.5% of the time). As the below chart displays, these markets resolve to yes less frequently than expected, nearly across the board.
      
      • The overestimation effect is more obvious before 12 hours, and more variant before 4 hours
        
        
  • A few potential causes of bias in prediction markets include:
    1. Acquiescence Bias - people tend to answer 'yes' more frequently when uncertain. This may lead Polymarket users to subconsciously revert to 'yes' bets rather than 'no' bets, as there is less mental friction.
    2. Herd Mentality - when a market is trending positively in the direction that a participant wants it to resolve in, they may be more likely to pile in, driving odds further.
    3. Low Liquidity - it's possible that accuracy in these markets could be lagging due to lack of liquidity. This data includes all of Polymarket's history, so older markets that were even less liquid could be driving down the averages. More research needed here.
    4. Degen Theory (aka mispricing of risk) - My personal hunch is that this space is full of degens who are more interested in long odds with potentially bigger returns, rather than small returns that are closer to a sure thing. This could lead bettors to gamble on lower probability markets that look to offer big returns, even though they're already overpriced.
• For Head-to-Head Sports
  • In intuition, the accuracy is not so bad, and following the bets wins in most cases
    • The biggest loss/wins happens in reverse cases
    • In lagging situation, the probability of more powerful one is bigger
    • In big lead situation, the probability align to 100%
  • In reality
    • increasing accuracy as time progresses. This trend becomes really pronounced once games have begun, as you'd expect
      
    • Long odds markets (≤5% probability) are highly accurate and constitute a significant portion of Polymarket’s total markets. In contrast, such long odds are rarer in head-to-head sports markets, making Polymarket’s accuracy appear lower in this segment. Which means the accuracy of long odds markets are not so accurate in head-to-head markets.

Regulation

• Regulation of Future, Lottery, Gambling

A binary option is a financial exotic option in which the payoff is either some fixed monetary amount or nothing at all.The two main types of binary options are the cash-or-nothing binary option and the asset-or-nothing binary option. The former pays some fixed amount of cash if the option expires in-the-money while the latter pays the value of the underlying security. They are also called all-or-nothing options, digital options (more common in forex/interest rate markets), and fixed return options (FROs) (on the NYSE American).

While binary options may be used in theoretical asset pricing, they are prone to fraud in their applications and hence banned by regulators in many jurisdictions as a form of gambling. Many binary option outlets have been exposed as fraudulent. The U.S. FBI is investigating binary option scams throughout the world, and the Israeli police have tied the industry to criminal syndicates. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has banned retail binary options trading. Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) considers binary options as a "high-risk" and "unpredictable" investment option, and finally also banned binary options sale to retail investors in 2021. - Wikipedia

Arbitrage Between Markets

Polymarket’s markets often have analogs on Betfair and Smarkets. These shared markets include many major political markets like the 2023 Turkish Presidential Election Winner and the 2024 United States Democratic/Republican Presidential Nominees. At the time of writing you can trade Joe Biden to win the Democratic Nominee for 78.7/81.3 on Smarkets, 75.8/76.9 on Betfair and 80.0/83.0 on Poymarket. Considering the current fee rates (2% of net winnings for Smarkets, 5% of net winnings for Betfair, 0% on Polymarket) and even at a time of very low volatility, there is at least some room for arbitrage. During more volatile times the spreads between venues can be sizable and thus quite profitable. Arb trading has never been easier anon.

Follow the Bets = Buy Bonds

Everyone loves a good longshot, especially casinos. The favourite-longshot bias is a well documented phenomenon where “on average, bettors tend to overvalue “longshots" and relatively undervalue favourites”. Taking the opposite side of these over-zealous bettors can prove mathematically favorable. Normally, it’s the house that capture this inefficiency, but on Polymarket there is no house. All trades happen peer to peer therefore traders looking to place longshot bets need counterparties. Lot’s of bets on Polymarket can be considered long shots, and taking the other side of these bets has been coined “buying bonds”. One of the most popular categories of “bonds” on Polymarket are Trump bonds. For example, at the time of writing you can buy 30,000 NO shares for Trump being President of the United states on July 31st 2023 (10 weeks away) for 97.5c each which figures to ~13% APR on USDC. This rate is more competitive than Aave and Compound. All hail Polymarket, the new yield protocol king…
