Project Name
vMARKET – Predictions Meet DeFAI
Problem Statement
Prediction markets promise crowd-sourced truth, but only if enough people participate.
Today’s platforms suffer from thin liquidity, slow settlement, and fragmented LP tools, making it hard for users to trade and harder for liquidity providers to stay engaged.
As a result, markets lack depth, newcomers get overwhelmed, and the “wisdom of the crowd” never fully materializes.
Non-gamblers who want thesis exposure or to passively back events they believe in have no easy path to participation.
Meanwhile, LPs are stuck micromanaging capital across isolated markets for little return.
Solution Overview
vMARKET is a Hyperion-native prediction exchange built to fix what breaks most markets: low participation.
Instead of forcing users to choose between being a trader or a micromanager LP, we give them one fast, intuitive interface and a single Liquidity Vault powered by AI.
Every prediction becomes a YES/NO market, making outcomes easy to chart, easy to understand, and easy to trade.
Participation on vMARKET is inherently incentivized by design, reducing the need for foundation-backed incentives. This avoids attracting non-sticky users who only show up for rewards.
Project Description
vMARKET is a Hyperion-native prediction exchange where users can trade binary markets or passively earn yield by depositing METIS into a single Liquidity Vault.
Each outcome is spun into its own YES/NO market.
e.g. “Will the Chiefs win?”
Allowing for clean chart displays, tight spreads, and simple onboarding for new users.
When the user buys a “YES” share, the price of “YES” shares increase and the price of “NO” shares decrease.
Think of each binary market as it’s own 2 sided LP on a DEX like Uniswap.
Selling = NO
Buying = YES
(or vice versa)
This approach allows us to display the markets price action like price action on a token, stock, or commodity.
This modular format avoids the UX and liquidity fragmentation common in multi-outcome prediction protocols.
vMARKET runs on three core contracts:
-
MarketFactory: Mints ERC-20 tokens for each YES/NO market
-
AMM Pool: Facilitates instant swaps
-
Liquidity Vault: Aggregates METIS from LPs, queries Vic for market signals, and rebalances capital to maximize fee yield.
"AI powered concentrated prediction liquidity"
Vic, our embedded AI agent, launches in read-only mode, surfacing stats like vault exposure, historical price bands, and order flow.
It uses a rule-based signal engine at first (volatility, volume, time decay, etc…), with a future roadmap that includes more agentic capability like acting on behalf of the user.
The Vault architecture unifies LP capital while deploying it across uncorrelated markets, allowing users to earn across the entire prediction layer with one deposit.
Governance over vault logic and market curation will eventually be community-driven via staked VESTA tokens or governance (Predicto0o0or) NFTs.
The public testnet will validate Vic’s signal accuracy, benchmark vault efficiency under load, and guide which agentic actions to prioritize post-hackathon.
Together, these systems unlock a fully composable, low-friction predictions layer designed for real-time trading, passive yield, and Hyperion-native scale.
Built with Next.js, wagmi, ethers, and the Alith Agent Framework.
