Prediction Markets

Peer-to-peer betting on anything, fully on-chain

Hyperbet prediction markets allow users to create and participate in peer-to-peer bets on any clearly measurable outcome. There is no central bookmaker. Users bet directly against each other, and losing positions automatically pay winning positions on-chain.

All rules are fixed at market creation and enforced by smart contracts.

How Prediction Markets Work on Hyperbet

1

Create a Market

Any user can create a prediction market by defining:

  • a clear question

  • a fixed set of outcomes

  • a measurable settlement condition

  • a resolution time

Examples:

  • “Will Bitcoin reach $100,000 before July 1, 2026?”

  • “Will Team A win the Champions League final?”

  • “Will Ethereum gas fees exceed 200 gwei this week?”

  • “Will a specific event happen before a given date?”

2

AI Verification & Review

Before a market goes live, it is reviewed by the Hyperbet AI Agent.

The AI checks that:

  • outcomes are unambiguous

  • settlement criteria are objective and verifiable

  • the market cannot be resolved subjectively

  • the resolution source is clearly defined

Markets that are unclear, manipulable, or impossible to verify are rejected or sent back for revision. This ensures fair settlement and prevents disputes.

Peer-to-Peer Betting

Once approved, the market becomes live.

Users can:

  • choose an outcome

  • stake tokens on that outcome

  • take the opposite side of other participants

There is no house and no fixed odds. Prices and implied odds emerge naturally based on how users position themselves in the market.

All stakes are held in smart contracts.

Market Resolution

When the event concludes:

  • the predefined resolution condition is evaluated

  • the winning outcome is determined

  • the market is settled automatically on-chain

No manual intervention is required.

No operator can alter the result.

5

Automatic Payouts

After settlement:

  • losing positions pay winning positions

  • payouts are distributed instantly by the smart contract

  • funds are sent directly to users’ wallets

All transactions are publicly verifiable.

What You Can Bet On

Prediction markets dramatically expand what betting can cover.

Examples include:

  • crypto price milestones and protocol events

  • sports matches and tournaments

  • macro and political events

  • community challenges and social outcomes

  • time-based or conditional events

As long as an outcome can be clearly defined and objectively measured, it can become a market.

Why This Is Powerful

Prediction markets turn betting into an open marketplace, not a product.

  • No central counterparty

  • No hidden margins

  • No trust in the operator

  • Transparent rules and payouts

Markets reward users for being right, not for playing against a house edge.

Role of $HBET

$HBET is used within the prediction market ecosystem to:

  • create new markets

  • participate in peer-to-peer bets

This makes prediction markets a core part of the Hyperbet economy, not an add-on.

The Opportunity

Prediction markets scale beyond traditional sportsbooks.

They allow users to:

  • create markets instantly

  • bet on real-world information

  • express views through capital

  • earn by being right

For Hyperbet, prediction markets are a key step toward becoming a full-spectrum, decentralised on-chain gaming ecosystem.
