Part 1 – Introducing the Problem

The Overlooked Role of Decentralized Prediction Markets in Enhancing Economic Forecasting and Risk Management

For all the noise around decentralized finance and tokenized governance, an entire category of blockchain-native innovation remains underdeveloped and underutilized: decentralized prediction markets. These platforms—where informed participants can place bets on future events—offer a radically different mechanism for aggregating information, one that traditional economic forecasting models and corporate risk management tools still don’t tap into effectively.

So why haven’t decentralized prediction markets taken center stage? The answer is a confluence of limitations: liquidity fragmentation, regulatory overhangs, game-theoretic attack vectors, and a misalignment between token incentives and signal accuracy. Protocols like Augur and Gnosis launched with the promise of becoming the “markets for truth,” yet their impact has remained niche, stunted by usability gaps and economic design pitfalls.

Historically, markets have been undeniably good at aggregating dispersed knowledge. Hayek’s classic insight into price as a signal of distributed information applies here—but on-chain. A decentralized prediction market surfaces probabilities not through reports or analyst sentiment, but via quantifiable financial outcomes tied to user conviction. Theoretically, this should provide superior data for decision-makers, especially in volatile macro contexts or emerging industry scenarios.

Yet most prediction markets remain walled off in crypto-native sandboxes. They are still operating without rehypothecation, cross-market arbitrage, or the kind of oracle-composability that would allow DeFi platforms to integrate predictive insights into lending rates, risk matrices or dynamic collateralization formulas. Systems that could feed prediction-based risk analysis into synthetic asset pricing, for example, remain absent.

Even more troubling is the problem of information leakage and manipulation. Markets require proper resolution, and decentralized systems still struggle with an oracle layer resistant to adversarial corruption—particularly in subjective or narrow-scope markets. These inefficiencies reduce trust in the mechanism itself and, by extension, limit adoption.

Ironically, as protocols like ZB Chain invest heavily in decentralized governance and incentive restructuring—explored in Governance Revolution ZB Chains Decentralized Approach—they overlook the predictive layer that could optimize those same governance decisions in real-time.

Without reliable forecasting primitives built into base protocols, the ecosystem continues relying on traditional heuristics while claiming to build a future immune to them. What if the missing oracle was not just price—but probabilistic truth?

As we dive deeper in the coming sections, we’ll explore whether the problems are architectural, economic, or fundamentally human—and how existing failures point the way to potentially robust implementations.

Part 2 – Exploring Potential Solutions

Blockchain-Based Forecasting Mechanisms: Solutions to Prediction Market Underperformance

Several cryptographic and blockchain-centric innovations are being explored to address the inefficiencies plaguing decentralized prediction markets (DPMs), including issues of low liquidity, market incentives misalignment, and oracle manipulation. Below are some of the most promising approaches, assessed for their capacity to enhance forecast reliability and usability in economic models.

1. Augmented Incentive Structures via Logarithmic Market Scoring Rules (LMSR)
The LMSR model introduced by Robin Hanson remains a theoretical backbone for many DPMs. It creates continuous liquidity without needing multiple counterparties. However, imperfections arise when bonded tokens are mispriced due to sybil attacks or low participation. Layering staking penalties or integrating DAO-governed caps could potentially mitigate distortion risks, though doing so increases complexity and smart contract overhead.

2. Optimistic Oracle Architectures and Dispute Frameworks
While oracles like UMA and Kleros have pioneered optimistic resolution mechanisms, these still rely heavily on adversarial claims being caught in time—often constrained by low participant engagement. More advanced oracle coordination, potentially inspired by off-chain credibility scoring systems like those discussed in Unlocking the Power of ZB Chain Data, may provide more rigorous truth-seeking mechanisms.

3. Zero-Knowledge Commitment Schemes for Prediction Privacy
Information leakage disincentivizes expert participation. By enabling zero-knowledge proofs around forecast positions, participants could safely wager without broadcasting strategies. While zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs have gained traction in privacy protocols, they remain underutilized in DPMs due to high computational costs and integration complexity, even though projects like Aztec and Semaphore have laid groundwork.

4. Layer-2 Scaling for Micro-Incentivized Markets
High gas fees and slow confirmation times stall micro-market viability. Layer-2 integrations using EVM-compatible optimistic rollups (e.g., Arbitrum or Base) can significantly reduce friction for low-cap prediction contracts. Yet market fragmentation and cross-chain oracle latency remain obstacles, particularly in models needing real-time data input.

5. Cross-Resolution Market Mechanisms
Combining discrete outcome markets with interval and range-based forecasts may yield more granular economic indicators. Projects considering such integrations have yet to balance cognitive load for users with the modular contract architecture required to support them reliably.

6. Dynamic Reputation-Weighting of Forecasts
Prediction accuracy could be enhanced by dynamically adjusting participant influence based on past track record rather than stake size alone. However, this introduces sybil-resistance and identity-layer design questions, possibly benefitting from verification models explored in The Underexplored Impact of AI-Enhanced Blockchain Verification.

Next, we’ll dive into real-world deployments—evaluating how these theoretical platforms hold up amid adversarial participation, market apathy, and real economic shocks.

Part 3 – Real-World Implementations

Real-World Use Cases of Decentralized Prediction Markets: Trials and Tribulations in On-Chain Forecasting

Initial attempts to operationalize decentralized prediction markets at scale have been fragmented across various blockchain ecosystems. Gnosis and Augur were early frontrunners on Ethereum, but their reliance on complex oracle infrastructure and high gas environments exposed fundamental limitations. For example, Augur v2 attempted to refactor its market resolution mechanisms through a fork-resistance protocol layer, yet saw real user engagement remain nominal due to burdensome UX and settlement delays of up to seven days.

Overlaying governance with incentive realignment has been a common strategy. Projects like Polymarket struck a chord by reducing friction through a curated market structure, but they opted for a quasi-decentralized backend, introducing regulatory ambiguity. Permissionless flexibility became a double-edged sword—while it empowered users to create diverse betting markets, it gave little protection from disinformation or duplicate markets skewing prediction quality.

More recently, ZB Chain-based experiments have pushed boundaries in sovereign governance and token-weighted truth sourcing. By integrating chain-native dispute resolution protocols and time-locked staking for arbitrators, ZB Chain's decentralized approach enables higher trust in dispute mitigation. Still, throughput limitations have kept market participation relatively niche, suggesting scalability at the execution layer remains an unsolved bottleneck.

Predictive robustness seems more attainable in ecosystems prioritizing cross-chain liquidity. For instance, composite markets built on layer-2 optimistic rollups allow collateral sourcing from wrapped assets across protocols, but composability introduces synchronous risk. A failed or manipulated oracle feed in one nested component cascades falsified forecasts across interconnected layers.

Additionally, unexpected attack vectors have emerged. There have been cases where adversaries manipulated volume-heavy events (e.g., elections or commodity indices) by spinning up markets with low liquidity, seeding misinformation, and exit-siphoning liquidity through dubious arbitration. These scenarios underscore the urgent need for sovereign, sybil-resistant data curation layers.

Tokenomic experiments to reward accurate forecasters aren't immune from flaws either. Some platforms implemented bonding curves as dynamic resolution incentives, which created speculative bubbles around outcome tokens, moving the market away from probabilistic accuracy and toward manipulation for gain. It's a real conflict between gamification and epistemic integrity.

While innovations such as zero-knowledge voting and cross-market arbitrage scoring are gaining adoption, few have reached equilibrium between on-chain verifiability, economic incentives, and trustable forecast generation.

As we shift focus, the next section will explore not only the scalability barriers these implementations face, but also the broader evolution of decentralized prediction markets as systemic tools for macro-financial modeling and dynamic risk hedging.

Part 4 – Future Evolution & Long-Term Implications

Predictive Protocols and Blockchain Interoperability: The Next Phase of Decentralized Forecasting

Decentralized prediction markets have laid experimental groundwork, but their evolution lies in solving for three systemic bottlenecks: composability, throughput, and oracle fidelity. Addressing these will determine whether such platforms remain niche tools or become foundational layers in decentralized economic modeling.

One of the most promising paths forward is the integration of cross-chain interoperability protocols, like the innovations seen in ZetaChain. If prediction markets can operate seamlessly across chains — executing conditional forecasts on Ethereum while settling outcomes on Arbitrum or Optimism — they become not just financial primitives but infrastructure-level tools. Architecturally, the separation of liquidity provisioning, dispute resolution, and outcome finality across modular chains may also help circumvent current scaling ceilings faced by projects like Omen or Polymarket.

Another vector of evolution is the incorporation of AI-enhanced on-chain data parsing, enabling more nuanced event construction and resolution. This would allow markets to absorb off-chain signals — like economic data releases or social media sentiment — through oracles that aren’t manually curated or manipulated. The real-time execution of such data feeds, paired with zero-knowledge proof validation layers, could ensure both transparency and privacy, especially for sensitive geopolitical or financial events.

Where existing governance models buckle under complexity and voter fatigue, modular delegation protocols — especially those explored in systems like TIAEX — could provide blueprints for self-optimizing resolution systems in decentralized markets. Stake-based incentives often fail to attract informed participation in resolving ambiguous outcomes. AI-assisted arbitration, layered with community-sourced confidence metrics, may help mitigate such challenges while maintaining decentralization guarantees.

That said, prediction markets still struggle with regulatory entanglements, and no credible technical roadmap completely de-risks jurisdictions where these contracts resemble derivatives or speculative trading products. Further compounding this are concerns around liquidity fragmentation, especially when spread across multi-chain deployments with differing asset standards.

On the scalability front, application-specific rollups (app-rollups) may offer leaner compute environments for betting logic and faster dispute arbitration without congesting generalized L2s. If coupled with optimistic fast-finality bridges, prediction platforms could achieve modular low-latency performance — an essential need when resolving fast-paced risk events like flash crashes or geopolitical shocks.

As the infrastructure catches up with the design ambitions of decentralized forecasting, a deeper challenge looms: who decides market validity, data integrity, and arbitration credibility in permissionless contexts? This leads directly into the governance debates — the structural backbone explored next.

Part 5 – Governance & Decentralization Challenges

Decentralized Governance in Prediction Markets: Power, Risk, and the Limits of On-Chain Rulemaking

As decentralized prediction markets edge closer to real-world utility, questions of governance become unavoidable. Unlike traditional platforms where decisions are made unilaterally or via opaque structures, decentralized versions promise collective control. But decentralized does not mean immune to manipulation. The promise of consensus often collides with the realities of token concentration, poor participation, and exploitable governance mechanics.

In centralized prediction platforms, operators can curate markets, manage risk exposure, and comply with jurisdictional rules—all with speed and clarity. Decentralized alternatives rely on on-chain governance mechanisms or DAOs to handle similar functions: dispute resolution, market whitelisting, parameter tuning. Yet most token-based governance systems are susceptible to plutocratic capture. If voting power is tied to token holdings, wealth concentration becomes political dominance. This raises doubts about whether the crowd governs—or whether governance simply reflects the preferences of early whales or strategic VC holdings.

Governance attacks aren’t hypothetical. Malicious actors can accumulate tokens stealthily and propose protocol changes designed to strip market integrity—by undermining oracle inputs or censoring specific prediction topics. Flash loan-based voting attacks have also shown how time-delayed snapshots and insufficient quorum thresholds expose supposedly decentralized systems.

Even well-intentioned DAOs face gridlock. Complex proposals often receive low engagement, while speculative dynamics interfere with long-term protocol thinking. The protocol might need to adjust a market resolution timeline, but token holders prioritize short-term token appreciation instead. Meanwhile, the regulatory gray zone complicates matters further. Regulators don’t target code—they target influence. Governance participants with outsized roles may be deemed liable for enabling or facilitating unlicensed predictive wagers.

Systems like ZB Chain aim to mitigate this by using advanced delegation and modular voting systems, but even these are not immune to collusion or governance fatigue. Hedging robust decentralization against flexible coordination remains an unsolved puzzle.

One alternative is hybrid governance—offloading high-risk market categories to off-chain arbitration mechanisms with cryptographic enforcement but non-DAO oversight. This, however, opens the door back to centralization risks and potential censorship. Striking the right balance between decentralized sovereignty and operational responsiveness is a non-trivial design challenge.

Ultimately, governance must not only secure the protocol—it must convince the market that resolution processes are uncorruptible and credible. Without that, prediction markets cannot fulfill their role in risk management or data aggregation.

Next, we explore how these governance limitations intersect with scalability engineering, and what trade-offs must be made to bring decentralized prediction markets to functional scale across global user bases.

Part 6 – Scalability & Engineering Trade-Offs

Engineering Trade-Offs and Blockchain Scalability in Decentralized Prediction Markets

Decentralized prediction markets aspire to be tamper-resistant, permissionless tools for aggregating information and quantifying risk. But their real-world utility hinges on their ability to scale without compromising core blockchain principles. At the heart of this challenge lies the "blockchain trilemma"—optimizing for decentralization, security, and speed simultaneously remains fundamentally constrained by current architectures.

The primary vector of tension emerges around consensus mechanisms. For example, Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) model supports better energy efficiency and moderate throughput (~15-30 TPS after rollups), but prediction markets with thousands of concurrent bets and orderbook updates often encounter latency bottlenecks. The speed problem becomes even more pronounced when integrating on-chain oracles, requiring multiple confirmations across validator nodes.

On the other end, high-speed Layer 1s like Solana or Aptos boast impressive throughput, but their trade-off tends to be more centralized validator sets or increased hardware requirements—both problematic for trustless systems. Solana’s emphasis on parallelized transaction processing offers an edge in handling liquid, short-interval markets, but persistent critiques around downtime and block reorgs highlight potential risks when high-frequency consensus meets gameable financial protocols.

Layer 2 networks present an optimization layer, especially zk-rollups and optimistic rollups, but they introduce additional engineering complexity around state proofs and bridging latency. Deploying prediction markets on such rollups can lead to cross-domain UX fragmentation, particularly if dispute resolution, settlement, and liquidity exist across different rollup environments or even different base chains.

Engineering teams often face architectural decisions such as whether to prioritize permissionless participation or lower latency. Markets that aim for global participation may lean toward decentralized layer-1s, while localized enterprise deployments might accept centralization around governance in exchange for speed. Notably, platforms like ZB Chain have explored hybrid models, which decouple data availability and execution (A Deepdive into ZB Chain (formerly ZBC)). Their deterministic sequencing layer allows for more scalable computation, but even then, network congestion during event finalizations can surface bottlenecks.

Regardless of architecture, validator incentives, slashing mechanisms, and MEV resistance remain critical components. Prediction markets are highly sensitive to information asymmetry and miner/gas-based frontrunning; thus, cryptoeconomic design must account for adversarial behavior across time-sensitive event windows.

Despite multiple L1s and rollup strategies competing to resolve these trade-offs, no perfect blueprint has emerged. Each prediction market must pragmatically choose which properties to optimize around, fully aware that scalability almost always introduces marginal compromises in either transparency or trust-minimization.

Part 7 will shift focus from technical design toward another gatekeeping barrier—regulatory and compliance risk—and assess how jurisdictional pressure affects the viability of operating decentralized prediction platforms globally.

Part 7 – Regulatory & Compliance Risks

Regulatory and Compliance Risks: Unpacking Legal Tension in Decentralized Prediction Markets

The regulatory environment surrounding decentralized prediction markets (DPMs) is a legal minefield, particularly due to their inherent blending of financial speculation, data-driven forecasting, and opaque jurisdictional reach. Unlike DeFi lending or DEXs, which have relatively familiar structural parallels with traditional finance, DPMs operate at the intersection of finance, gambling, insurance, and speech—each category carrying its own regulatory burden.

Jurisdictional classification is the first major challenge. For instance, while certain U.S. regulators like the CFTC may consider binary prediction markets akin to derivatives, others such as the SEC might scrutinize tokenized prediction contracts as unregistered securities, depending primarily on their structure and how returns are generated. Meanwhile, in jurisdictions like the EU or Singapore, decentralized forecasting tools might trigger regulatory concerns under anti-gambling statutes or financial licensing laws. This fragmented global treatment inhibits scalability and underscores how these platforms may unintentionally operate in breach of local frameworks despite being "permissionless" by design.

Government intervention is particularly reactive in prediction markets that enable trading on political events, regulatory actions, or judicial decisions. These markets amplify freedom-of-speech defenses, especially if outcomes are presented as public opinions rather than bets. However, this rarely holds up under financial regulation scrutiny. A historical parallel can be drawn from past enforcement actions related to prediction platforms like PredictIt or centralized markets such as Intrade, which were effectively shut down or restricted due to jurisdictional violations—there’s little reason to think decentralized counterparts will escape similar targeting.

Smart contract immutability only hardens the problem. Even if no centralized entity controls the protocol, regulators may pursue front-ends, developers, or DAOs facilitating access. In scenarios similar to those explored in projects like TIAEX, where governance is decentralized yet susceptible to indirect regulatory pressure, these entities might be implicated by proxy. (Explore more in our deep dive: https://bestdapps.com/blogs/news/deepdive-into-tiaex)

KYC/AML compliance poses another chokepoint. When markets are permissionless and anonymous, DPMs risk becoming conduits for illicit forecasting-based speculation or proxy hedging for real-world activities (e.g., betting on geopolitical violence). This leads to scrutiny not just from financial regulators but potentially from national security agencies, depending on the nature of the markets deployed.

The risk of regulatory arbitrage—where these platforms claim legal immunity by being “code in the cloud”—is narrowing. Developers and DAOs disabling access in specific regions, implementing geo-blocks, and selectively token-gating features are strong signals that they acknowledge legal exposure.

Coming up next, Part 8 will dissect the economic and financial impact of decentralized prediction markets entering the mainstream. From liquidity velocity to hedging efficiency, we'll scrutinize how these technologies impact capital allocation and systemic risk.

Part 8 – Economic & Financial Implications

Economic and Financial Implications of Decentralized Prediction Markets

Decentralized prediction markets (DPMs) introduce a structural shift in how risk, information, and capital flow across economic systems. Their ability to aggregate crowd-sourced probabilistic outcomes on-chain has the potential to erode the informational advantage historically held by centralized institutions—particularly in sectors like finance, commodities, insurance, macro forecasting, and even decentralized finance (DeFi) risk modeling.

For institutional investors, the implications are bifurcated. On the one hand, access to more granular, real-time, and potentially more accurate signals—generated across global, open-access markets—could enhance portfolio strategies. On the other hand, DPMs undercut traditional analytics by commoditizing insights. Alpha-producing signals may become less proprietary as prediction markets bleed into macroeconomic modeling and synthetic indices. The very instruments that hedge funds and sovereign funds depend on for competitive edge could become democratized.

Traders and degens, meanwhile, see opportunity in volatility clusters DPMs generate around real-world events. As thesis-driven trading emerges based on decentralized oddsmaking—e.g., will the Fed increase rates, will a layer-one chain collapse, could NAVI outperform ETH on a one-month horizon—liquidity thins elsewhere. The feedback loops could become unstable if oracle latency or governance manipulation enters the system. We’ve already seen fragments of this risk materialize in [Examining ZB Chain's Key Criticisms], where speculative incentives degraded consensus integrity.

Developers and protocol architects stand to benefit from expanding the use cases of oracles, especially as DPMs integrate with DeFi and DAO ecosystems. Incentive structures can be dynamically adjusted based on forward-looking signals, auto-allocating treasury funds to hedging or liquidity strategies in real-time. But this also creates new tail-risk vectors. Malicious actors could coordinate market manipulation toward desired oracle-fed outcomes, thereby exploiting protocol-level logic.

Another looming issue lies in data asymmetry. While DPMs theoretically level access, real-world outcomes often hinge on privileged information—legal cases, boardroom decisions, gray-market dealings. Introducing such information into free markets without accountability may inspire policing from nation-states targeting prediction markets under anti-gambling statutes or financial surveillance laws. Regulatory arbitrage becomes a risk vector, not a feature.

Furthermore, DPM tokenomics are often poorly calibrated to incentivize long-term utility versus short-term speculation. A misalignment here will cascade risk across trader behavior, liquidity provision, and governance frameworks. Without rigorous audit of incentive structures, this sector could repeat the unsustainable loop of under-collateralized yield farming.

As these markets mature, the economic implications intertwine with governance battles and value flows within smart contract networks. In Part 9, we’ll zoom out from economics to explore how DPMs reconfigure human coordination, redefine trust, and challenge fundamental notions of truth in decentralized systems.

Part 9 – Social & Philosophical Implications

Economic and Financial Implications of Decentralized Prediction Markets

The integration of decentralized prediction markets into mainstream economic systems has the potential to destabilize traditional forecasting institutions, while simultaneously spawning an ecosystem of new investment strategies. These platforms disintermediate centralized data aggregators and incumbent financial analysts by incentivizing individuals to produce more timely and granular economic forecasts. The monetization of truth via tokenized wagers may result in the rapid obsolescence of legacy macroeconomic models that rely on lagging indicators and polling-based sentiment.

Institutional investors could experience both upside and dislocation. On one hand, hedge funds armed with sophisticated on-chain analysis tools may treat markets like Augur or Omen as alpha-generating data feeds. On the other hand, traditional banks and asset managers slow to adapt could be blindsided by retail collectives who front-run earnings reports, rate changes, or geopolitical events with targeted prediction market activity.

Developers building around prediction protocols may find lucrative niches. Oracle developers who enable low-latency resolution systems stand to benefit disproportionately, as will tooling engineers offering portfolio analytics for token positions linked to probabilistic outcomes. However, protocol-level tokenomics may require surgical balancing; overly aggressive incentive structures risk gaming by sybil attacks, while weak mechanisms may fail to bootstrap liquidity. The design lessons from platforms like ZB Chain offer a cautionary tale: balancing decentralized governance without compromising technical functionality is a non-trivial task.

Retail traders may be drawn to these platforms due to their low barriers to entry and their perceived meritocratic edge—only accurate forecasts win, regardless of access to capital. However, there is a growing concern that whales could manipulate predictions through aggressive staking, creating false sentiment loops that skew public assumptions.

Prediction markets also introduce unique economic risk vectors. Highly liquid, tokenized bets on key policy decisions could impact real-world behavior of regulators, especially in smaller economies where market movements may simulate public consensus artificially. Unlike traditional financial derivatives, whose manipulation is regulated in many jurisdictions, decentralized markets blur accountability. Liquid, anonymous, and composable, they resist traditional compliance mechanisms—raising alarm bells for regulators worldwide.

Moreover, cross-protocol composability introduces the risk of recursive exposure. LPs staking on outcome-based markets may unwittingly create derivative spirals—akin to CDOs—if bundled into structured products elsewhere in DeFi. The parallels with legacy financial crises are hard to ignore.

These implications warrant re-examination of foundational economic assumptions around information asymmetry, free markets, and decision-making bias—concepts we will unpack in Part 9.

Part 10 – Final Conclusions & Future Outlook

The Future of Decentralized Prediction Markets: A Fork in the Blockchain Road

Decentralized prediction markets (DPMs) have proven themselves to be much more than on-chain gambling mechanisms. Throughout this series, we’ve seen how their incentive-aligned design and resistance to censorship offer novel utility across sectors—from economic forecasting to hedging geopolitical risk. Despite their potential, the most promising use cases remain largely theoretical, constrained by fragmented liquidity, limited UX design maturity, and governance friction.

In the best-case scenario, DPMs evolve into integral components of financial infrastructure. Here, they serve as real-time sentiment indicators, risk pricing engines, and even governance augmentation tools within DAOs. Integrations into synthetic asset platforms and TradFi-style insurance structures could position them as backbone layers for decentralized risk management. Data composability and oracles are key enablers in this vision—areas where protocols like ZB Chain are pushing forward the data coordination narrative.

But the worst-case scenario looms equally large: DPMs collapse under low participation, legal ambiguity, and regulatory overreach. Without a clear framing as “information markets” rather than betting instruments, jurisdictions could tighten restrictions, driving innovation away from credibility-seeking verticals. Worse, mispriced or manipulated markets could create false confidence in forecasts, harming rather than helping decision-makers.

Despite ongoing advancements in zero-knowledge privacy and cross-chain liquidity bridges, several questions remain open. Which design primitives drive the most accurate information extraction: anonymous participation or reputation-weighted staking? Can prediction markets attract enough liquidity to outcompete institutional analysts, or will they remain niche tools used only within crypto-savvy communities?

Mainstream adoption hinges not just on technical improvement, but cultural shifts. Existing market participants must see DPMs as tools, not toys. Institutional integration—from oracles feeding into DeFi products, to corporate risk boards adopting tokens to hedge against macro events—is the missing piece. Without incentive-aligned partnerships, scaling remains aspirational.

Ultimately, the fate of decentralized prediction markets may lie in how the broader crypto ecosystem resolves its identity crisis: platform for true economic coordination, or playground for speculative experimentation? The rise of hyper-specialized chains is a double-edged sword—more customizability, but also increased siloing. If these markets can’t interoperate meaningfully and fluidly across chains, they risk becoming technological novelties rather than transformational primitives.

And so the question we’re left with is this: Will decentralized prediction markets be remembered as the linchpin that brought economic foresight to the blockchain era—or as yet another idea outpaced by its own ambition?
