​Prediction markets had their breakout moment in 2024 — when Polymarket called Trump's victory while polls said 50/50. Since then, the sector has grown from a niche crypto experiment to a $44B+ market with institutional backing from NYSE parent ICE and regulatory recognition from the CFTC.

​But how does it actually work under the hood?

​What we'll cover:

• ​Fundamental of Prediction markets

• ​Prediction Market Landscape in 2026

• ​Polymarket Technical Documentation

• ​And more!

​For WPRC KL [08] - We're going beyond the hype and into the technical documentation. We'll be reading and dissecting the Prediction Markets — examining the mechanism design, oracle systems, market resolution logic, and the protocol architecture that powers these "truth machines."

​Who should come: Developers, researchers, and curious minds who want a first-principles understanding of prediction market protocols. No prior deep knowledge required — just bring your questions.

​You dont need to prepare anything as we will have you covered ;). Whitepaper provided, we'll read and break it down together, section by section.

Format
