The short answers. For the mechanics in depth, read How it works; for the guarantees behind them, the Trust page.
What is a prediction market?
A market on a real-world question with a verifiable answer. You buy YES or NO shares; a YES share pays $1 if the answer is YES and $0 otherwise. The price is the crowd's probability — 64¢ means “64% likely”. Full walkthrough.
Is this real money?
Today Predikon runs on demo funds while custody and licensing are finalized — every mechanism (order book, market maker, resolution, ledger) is live and real-money-grade. When real-money trading opens, your demo track record carries a verified badge.
How do I fund and place a trade?
Sign up, open any market, and use the ticket to buy YES or NO. You can size an order from a dollar budget, and the ticket shows your odds three ways (%, multiplier, American). Your maximum loss is what you pay — never more.
Can I sell before a market resolves?
Yes — sell at the best available price anytime with one-tap close, or hold to resolution. Complete YES+NO pairs redeem for exactly $1 whenever you like.
Who decides the outcome?
Every market locks a binding resolution clause before trading opens. Automated feeds can propose an outcome; only a human can confirm one, and the ruling — with evidence — enters a signed, tamper-evident public log you can verify offline. See the Integrity Board.
How do I know the platform is honest?
The ledger's conservation is checked live on the Integrity Board, our calibration record is public on the Accuracy page, and you can verify any receipt we sign. We ask you to check us, not trust us.
Something looks wrong — how do I get support?
Check Status first for live incidents. For anything else, email support@predikon.com — include the market and, if relevant, a receipt so we can trace it on-ledger.
Still stuck?
Email support@predikon.com. We answer trading questions with the ledger open, so you get a specific, checkable answer — not a canned one.
