Understand how FUTURAI works
Learn how prediction markets work, how positions are opened, how probabilities are calculated, and how resolution follows public, verifiable rules.
The core of the experience
Before getting into technical details, these are the core elements of the experience.
Choose a market
Each market shows the question, deadline, and resolution rules.
Open a YES or NO position
You choose a position based on your reading of the event and the available probabilities.
Track the probability
The price of a position changes as new positions enter the market.
Resolution follows public sources and rules
The outcome uses predefined criteria and sources disclosed to participants.
Three pillars behind every market
The infrastructure uses blockchain, smart contracts, and external sources to register rules, track markets, and execute resolution steps.
Settlement
Allocations handled by contract rules; resolution by public sources and criteria.

Published, verifiable rules
When a market is created on FUTURAI, it follows a smart contract with published rules. This helps make the market conditions and operating logic visible.
How a market is structured
Oracles and sources used
Market resolution depends on oracles and public sources that help connect the observed event to the rule defined for that market.
When applicable, multiple sources and consistency checks help reduce ambiguity before settlement.
Settlement according to smart contract rules
When you open a position in a market, the allocated amount is handled according to the smart contract rules. Once the event ends, resolution follows public sources and predefined criteria.
USDC as a stable reference unitStable
USDC may be used as a reference unit to reduce operational volatility between opening a position and settlement.
Deposit and withdrawal integrationsPIX → USDC
Integrations such as PIX, when available, act only as an on-ramp automatically converted to USDC. FUTURAI is non-custodial: no fiat balance is held by the platform.
Liquidity Pool
Liquidity providers may receive protocol-defined incentives, subject to risks and specific rules.
User wallet and on-chain escrow
FUTURAI is non-custodial: participants keep funds in their own wallet, and allocated amounts stay in on-chain escrow via smart contract. The platform does not custody funds.
Zion Chat and privacy controls
Privacy and verification should be explained clearly, without absolute technical promises.
End-to-end encrypted communication
Zion Chat is designed with end-to-end encryption and privacy controls. Additional technical documentation should be consulted when available.
The communication flow aims to protect exchanged content within the architecture and limits described by the product.
Verification according to applicable rules
Verification requirements may vary by jurisdiction, usage limits, and applicable rules.
Privacy controls
The platform may limit tracker usage and reduce unnecessary data exposure, depending on the available implementation.
Distributed infrastructure
Parts of the frontend may rely on distributed infrastructure to improve resilience and availability.
Identity and on-chain address
Positions may be visible on-chain, but linkage to civil identity depends on rules, integrations, and the data actually collected.
