Predict.fun was launched in late 2025 by prominent Web3 entrepreneur @dingalingts (former Head of Research at Binance and creator of PancakeSwap) alongside a core team of former Binance contributors. Incubated through YZi Labs’ EASY Residency program and publicly endorsed by Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Predict.fun was engineered to solve capital inefficiency—the primary bottleneck in legacy decentralized prediction markets. By operating natively on BNB Chain, the platform provides near-zero gas fees and rapid transaction settlement.
The defining structural innovation of Predict.fun is its yield-bearing collateral mechanism. When traders lock up USDC or stablecoins to take long or short positions on real-world outcomes, Predict.fun automatically routes the idle collateral into automated money market protocols like Venus on BNB Chain. This allows position holders to continuously accrue underlying lending yield alongside their active speculative positions, eliminating the opportunity cost of holding multi-week event contracts. Prices range from $0.01 to $0.99 based on market-implied probabilities and settle at $1.00 upon resolution.
Full profile: Predict.fun →Myriad Markets was launched in early 2025 under DASTAN Inc.—the Web3 media conglomerate formed by the high-profile merger of Decrypt Media and Rug Radio. Built on the Arbitrum Layer-2 blockchain with cross-chain expansion to BNB Chain, Myriad was engineered to overcome the "destination app problem" of traditional prediction venues. Instead of forcing users to navigate to a isolated exchange portal like Polymarket or Kalshi, Myriad embeds prediction contracts directly into news articles, X (formerly Twitter) threads, and media feeds where online discourse naturally occurs.
Through the Myriad Browser Extension and lightweight web widgets, readers browsing crypto news or social media can inspect live odds and trade binary outcome contracts directly within their browser context. The protocol uses Automated Market Maker (AMM) liquidity pools backed by stablecoins like USDC and USDT, allowing users to speculate on real-time news headlines, political developments, and crypto milestones without leaving the publisher's domain. Settlement is handled trustlessly through blended oracle networks and optimistic resolution frameworks tied to verifiable news sources.
