Where Steemians predict, trade, and profit from real-world outcomes


The Prediction Market Revolution is Here

Trading volume on major prediction market platforms exceeded $27.9 billion in the first three quarters of 2025. In a single week in November 2025, the notional volume reached $2.45 billion across major platforms.

The prediction market industry is exploding—and now Steem has its own native prediction market platform, built specifically for our community.


🌟 What is Steem Predicts?

Steem Predicts is a decentralized prediction market where Steemians can:

  • 📈 Buy and sell shares on real-world outcomes
  • 💰 Profit from accurate predictions through dynamic liquidity pools
  • 🔮 Trade before resolution or hold for maximum returns
  • 🏆 Earn as an Oracle by creating and resolving markets

Whether it's elections, sports, cryptocurrency prices, or community events—if it has an outcome, you can trade it on Steem Predicts.


💎 How Does It Work?

Dynamic Liquidity Pools

Each market operates with its own automated liquidity pool powered by a bonding curve algorithm:

When You Buy Shares 💵When You Sell Shares 💳
• Your STEEM/SBD enters the pool• STEEM/SBD returns from the pool to you
• Share price increases for that outcome• Share price decreases for that outcome
• You receive shares at the current market price• You receive STEEM/SBD at the current market price
• Total pool value grows• Total pool value shrinks
✅ Instant execution✅ Guaranteed liquidity
⚠️ Price rises with demand⚠️ Price falls with selling pressure

The Price Formula:
Current Price = 0.001 + (0.00001 × Total Shares)

This transparent bonding curve ensures fair, automated pricing that adjusts with supply and demand.


📊 Two Powerful Trading Strategies

Strategy 1: Hold Until Resolution 🎲Strategy 2: Sell Before Resolution 📉📈
Higher risk, higher rewardLower risk, steady profits
1. Buy shares in the outcome you believe will win1. Buy shares when probability seems undervalued
2. Hold until market resolution2. Wait for price to increase as more traders join
3. Win proportional share of entire pool if correct3. Sell at a profit before resolution
4. No need to wait for final outcome
Example:Example:
• Total pool at resolution: 1,000 STEEM• Buy 100 shares at 0.50 STEEM = 50 STEEM invested
• Total winning shares: 500 shares• Sell 100 shares at 0.70 STEEM = 70 STEEM returned
• Your shares: 100 shares• Trading fees: ~1.2 STEEM
Your payout: 200 STEEM (100/500 × 1,000)Your profit: 18.8 STEEM
✅ Highest potential returns✅ Lock in profits early
⚠️ All-or-nothing risk✅ Lower risk exposure
⚠️ May miss larger payouts

💸 Fee Structure & Economics

Fee TypeRatePurpose
Market Creation5%One-time fee on initial liquidity
Trading Fee1%Per trade (minimum 0.001 STEEM/SBD)

Where Your 1% Trading Fee Goes:

25% → Oracle/Creator (Reward for creating markets)
50% → Platform (Development & operations)
25% → Burned to @null (Deflationary mechanism)


🔥 The Burn Mechanism: Benefiting All STEEM Holders

25% of all trading fees are permanently burned by sending them to @null on the Steem blockchain.

Why This Matters:

  • ✓ Reduces total token supply over time
  • ✓ Creates deflationary pressure
  • ✓ Benefits every STEEM holder in the ecosystem
  • ✓ Demonstrates commitment to long-term value

Every trade on Steem Predicts makes STEEM more scarce and valuable for everyone.
