What are prediction markets?

Simple said, prediction markets can be anything with an outcome at a specific time and date. You bet for a particular result, and if you’re right, you’ll win.

Connect your Ethereum wallet and start predicting

With PlotX, you’ll get a shortcut to earn profit for predicting the price of your favorite crypto pairs. There’s no need to create an account or dealing with KYC. Simply connect your MetaMask to the Ethereum based and non-custodial PlotX platform, and you’re ready to go. Oh, and to answer a frequently asked question right away: PlotX uses Chainlink and Provable oracles. DeFi all the way.

Incredible user experience

Once you’ve connected your funded wallet, you’ll choose your market pair, such as BTC — USDT. Next, you’ll select the market, which is hourly, daily or weekly.

At this point, you can see all the details, which are:

  • Highest option price
  • Lowest option price
  • Market participants
  • Total stakes
  • Time remaining

Now you can choose your desired option and click on the “Predict” button, which shows you the “Buy Option Positions” menu. Enter the desired amount of ETH to pay, choose a leverage factor and go. Good luck!

All in or play it safe?

It’s important to know that leverage means how much you are willing to lose. So 1X = 20% risk and 5X means 100% or all-in. For example, you pay 1 ETH and choose 1X (20% risk). Sadly, your prediction was wrong and you lose. After the market closes, you’ll get 0.8 ETH (or 80%) back. If you had selected 5X (100%), your ETH would be gone. Of course, you could also win more with higher leverage. With PlotX, your risk is limited, while the amount to win depends on the participants.

How much can you win with PlotX?

A lot. The more participants PlotX has, the more you can win. After a market is settled, the rewards will be taken from the two wrong predictions and automatically distributed to the winners. The 1-hour markets will pay every hour with smaller amounts while the weekly markets will pay the most, as there is more time to accumulate predictions.
