Synthesis - Prediction Market Trading Platform

Synthesis is a trading platform that lets people buy and sell contracts on real-world events. Each market represents a yes/no question or a set of outcomes (for example, "Will Team A win the championship?" or "Who will win the election?"). The price of a contract reflects the crowd-implied probability that the outcome will occur.

On Synthesis, users can:
- Trade event-based contracts on politics, sports, macro, and other real-world topics.
- Express views on future outcomes instead of traditional stock prices.
- Use price signals to understand what the crowd believes will happen.

What are prediction markets?

Prediction markets are marketplaces where participants trade contracts whose value depends on the outcome of future events. When an outcome happens, contracts that correspond to the true outcome settle to their full value, and losing contracts settle to zero.

If a "Yes" contract is trading at 0.60 (60 cents), the market is implying roughly a 60% probability that the event will occur. If the event resolves to "Yes", each contract is worth 1.00; if it resolves to "No", it is worth 0.00.

Why prediction markets are useful:
- They aggregate information from many participants into a single price.
- They update in real time as new information arrives.
- They can provide more timely or calibrated signals than surveys or static forecasts.

What Synthesis focuses on:
- Unified interface for multiple venues (such as existing on-chain and centralized prediction markets).
- Real-time order books, charts, and tools designed to make event trading feel like professional markets.
- Surfacing related markets, news, and contextual information around each event.
