What are Myriad prediction markets?

Myriad’s on-chain prediction markets are the heart of the platform, enabling users to back their calls on real-world events. Those events can include anything from sports and crypto to gaming and politics.

As more people take part in the prediction market, the odds shift in real-time, indicating what outcome the community thinks is likely to happen.

Myriad’s prediction markets are made up of “shares” with values ranging from 0 to 1 points, with its value correlating to the percentage chance of it winning. So if a share for outcome A in a prediction market is valued at 0.53 points, the market reckons that outcome A has a 53% chance of happening.

When the market resolves, the price goes to 1 point a share for whichever outcome took place; thus, the lower the odds of something happening, the cheaper betting on it becomes—and vice versa.

Types of Myriad prediction market

• 📖 Central Limit Order Book (CLOB): On Order Book markets, liquidity is provided by traders who place Limit orders. A CLOB matches buy and sell orders based on price and time priority, enabling users to trade directly with each other rather than through an intermediary. Myriad’s CLOB enables an array of features including slippage controls, limit orders, dynamic fees, and broader market information for users.
• 🤖 Automated Market Maker (AMM): An AMM provides a more linear liquidity curve, making prices more predictable for traders. Prices update automatically and dynamically as traders buy and sell, and the sum of all outcome prices always sum to $1. Markets have fees ranging from 0% to 2% on buy transactions, with the myriad.markets application charging a small fee of $0.0085 on every transaction to cover blockchain gas costs.
