Understand how
FUTURAI works

Learn how prediction markets work, how positions are opened, how probabilities are calculated, and how resolution follows public, verifiable rules.

How it works

Before getting into technical details, these are the core elements of the experience.

1

Choose a market

Each market shows the question, deadline, and resolution rules.

2

Open a YES or NO position

You choose a position based on your reading of the event and the available probabilities.

3

Track the probability

The price of a position changes as new positions enter the market.

4

Resolution follows public sources and rules

The outcome uses predefined criteria and sources disclosed to participants.

Prediction markets involve risk. The value of a position may change, and an unfavorable resolution may result in the loss of the amount allocated to that position.

The infrastructure uses blockchain, smart contracts, and external sources to register rules, track markets, and execute resolution steps.

Markets registered in smart contracts

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.

Published rules are verifiable on-chain and can be reviewed by participants and technical teams.

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.
Resolution follows predefined criteria. When additional technical documentation exists, it should be provided in a way that matches the product.

Settlement follows protocol rules and public resolution criteria rather than open-ended payout promises.

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.

USDT as a stable reference unit

USDT may be used as a reference unit to reduce operational volatility between opening a position and settlement.

Deposit and withdrawal integrations

Integrations such as PIX may exist when available, depending on network conditions, providers, and applicable rules.

Liquidity Pool

Liquidity providers may receive protocol-defined incentives, subject to risks and specific rules.

Custody via compatible wallet

Depending on the flow used, participants interact through a compatible wallet and the rules described by the product.

Privacy and verification should be explained clearly, without absolute technical promises.

Zion Chat and privacy controls

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.
